If you followed this site for any amount of time you’ve probably seen me write about the British Virgin Islands. I was born on the main island of the BVI, called Tortola, and it one of my favorite places to fish. Its been a few years since I’ve been back and every winter it kills me that I’m shoveling snow while other people are capitalizing on the great fishing to be had. Luckily there are a couple of people documenting their BVI fishing experiences as I did. So if you are looking for some awesome tropical fishing photos to keep you warm this winter, check out This River Is Wild. An make sure you read back a few pages, there is a ton of great reading! One of the authors, Matt, has managed to do what most visitors fail to do, consistently catch tarpon on the fly!

Here are a few of his catches from the BVI!

There are few fishing rods as easily recognizable as the Shakespeare Ugly Stick. They’ve been around for 30 years and are the number one selling rod of all time. I own four of them myself, and they have never let me down. I’ve called the Ugly Stik the best rod in the world, and I’ll stand by that. I’ve put these rods to the test on multiple species and the Ugly Stik has always come out on top, see for yourself!
