Secret Flat, the name of this new peice of ‘dry bar’ as the locals call the areas of the sea that stick out of the water on the lowest tides. This day the ‘dry bar’ was flooded on a mid-day high tide ,not with just water, but a school of ravenous Permit, averaging 10 + lbs with a big guy leading the pack, easily a 20 pounder. Debus sealed the deal quickly as Edwin navigated the boat around rock piles and old concrete pylons. Permit #3 for Debus. Brownie’s turn, and a few fly changes later, a few bites, a few follows, and finally a secret fly to secure the second double of the season. Permit #4 for Brownie. The Research and Development team succeded in locating a new area to hunt Permit, and continued to prove the flies designed and tied at the lodge will fool Perrmit . More locations and flies to be revealed, stay tuned!

Ryan Schmidt woke up on his birthday not knowing he was going to catch the fish of his lifetime, but he did. Sun was setting pink orange over the mountains, fork tails danced through the horizon, a perfect cast was made, the picture tells the rest of the story, Rankin again was the guide who helped make it happen, leading the lodge with the most permit of the season, these truly are the times of our lives . . .

Matt Debus and Ryan Schmight caught permit on the same day, before noon. The North side was swarming with hungry permit. Debus hooked 3, landed 1, Schmiddy went 1 for 1, and the other boat had several shots, 2 nibbles. The lodge was again full of glory, these are the days of our lives . . .

Dr. Clay Williams and Dr. Phil Talor returned to Guanaja last week. The wind died down, silver and black tails infested the flats, and reels were screaming. Clay is a four year veteran to Fly Fish Guanaja and landed a big permit on the North side of Guanaja on a white sand crab pattern. All the while Flip (Phil) crushed large bonefish on home-tie flies from the lodge. Flip fished with Edwin everyday and their freindship continues to grow, and Edwin continues to grow up like a carrot, seeing fish from ridiculous distances. Energy was high in the lodge.

Noah and Steve have been fishing together for 10 years, starting in the Black Canyon and now in Guanaja. Noah is here with his friend Robby and they are helping pioneer future students groups to Guanaja. Although community service and outreach is part of their trip, they are managing to crush elusive fish on the fly. Noah caught a permit yesterday on a Kung Fu Crab, and Brownie caught one this morning in front of the lodge on a home-tie kwan. Back to back, Noah and Brownie, two for the books!! The permit fishing has been off the hook lately, we are seeing dozens a day and they are hungry!
Also check out this nice bone Noah caught on Easter.

Little did Baker Gentry know that when he stepped into our boat “Grand Slam” that he was to fulfill it’s name! He caught his permit before 7 am and finished the slam with a nice bonefish and tarpon, all before noon, still with time to complete two dives! His whole family has been crushing it, check out a few photos . . .
