FIrst permit on fly for @caseymattson.fishing. This school interrupted our lunch break on the flat, not much eaten that day! #fishitwell

Drove 49 hours in the van towing the boat to spend a month in Weipa Austrailia fishing the flats. This was day one so we'd say they are in for an epic trip!

FISH HANDLING FRIDAY brought to us by @keep.fish.w

FISH HANDLING FRIDAY brought to us by @keep.fish.wet. Principle #2 Eliminate Contact with Dry Surfaces. [LINK IN BIO] 📸= @k8crump 🎣 = @salmonibae

Fish have a layer of protective mucus (slime) and scales that protects them from disease. Contact with dry, hard, or rough surfaces (such as hands, rocks, sand, and boat bottoms) can remove slime and scales making fish more susceptible to diseases, especially fungal infections. Keeping fish in or over the water, and holding them with clean, wet hands or a soft rubber net will help keep their slime layer and scales intact and the fish disease free.

WEEKLY Featured Fly Girl -- This week we are celeb

WEEKLY Featured Fly Girl -- This week we are celebrating Katherine Hammonds nominated by Terry Sanders.

"Fishing is my solace, and the river is becoming my new home." These were the words of my nominee, Katherine Hammonds. Kathy was a woman who had incredible passion for everything that she undertook - especially fly fishing! She insisted that I try it out and today, because of Kathy, I have begun to fly fish and hope that one day I am as accomplished an angler as she was.

Kathy courageously battled various illnesses for most of her life. She was one of the first people to have a successful stem cell transplant for lupus in 1999, after being given an ultimatum by her doctors of only a short time to live. After her transplant, Kathy went into remission and decided to go back to school. Impressively, she became a nurse at the age of 50! After years of taking medicine, Kathy developed stomach ulcers. When she went in to get the ulcer repaired, doctors found that her whole stomach was eaten away and were forced to remove it. Despite all this, Kathy once again figured out how to carry on and enjoy life. She never missed a chance to go fly fishing as a way to escape and truly enjoy every moment she had.

In 2018, Kathy found out she had bladder cancer on a Tuesday, and in her courageous style she spent that Saturday catching the biggest fish of her life. This brought the biggest smile to her face which you can see in the photo. Before she finished the treatment for the cancer, Kathy was told that she had stage 4 acute leukemia and only had weeks to live. She underwent a bone marrow transplant in the fall of 2018. When going in to see if the transplant was successful in early 2019, they could not wake her up because her kidneys were failing. When she was revived, doctors determined that the transplant was unsuccessful. Kathy passed away in May 2019.
