Excellent article, thanks Geoff!  I got a kick out of the following line until I remembered that the article was written back in 1973: Quote The customer has been making money so that, among other things, he can afford the $90-a-day guide fee.

Re: Classic Fly Fishing Movie "Tarpon" Released on DVD
I received the copy of "tarpon" from Seef... I’m looking forward to kicking back and watching the entire video. I glanced at it while getting ready to leave on vacation and it looks great - I'm not a big fishing video fan but this was filmed in 1974, b...

Florida Keys fishing guide Geoff W. Colmes - fly fishing and light tackle trips in the Florida Keys and Everglades...

Islamorada, Florida Keys...

Based out of the Village of Islamorada's in the Florida Keys, Geoff guides his anglers just about anywhere; fishing from Biscayne Bay to Key West, Marquesas and the Everglades National Park.

Capt. Geoff W. Colmes guide services includes Fly Fishing and light tackle trips. Additionally... Mothership based fly fishing and light tackle, canoe and kayak trips in the Florida Keys, Marquesas and Everglades National Park aboard Fishabout. If you would like to schedule a fishing trip, or need further info, please contact me personally via email or phone, or: Schedule a fishing trip on-line.

Thank-you Geoff...

It is my good fortune to fly fish around the world for a living, including my own fly fishing trips to the Everglades; so I get to see some great fishing locations. And yet, fishing the Florida Everglades with Geoff is one of the highlight trips of the year. Year after year.

Geoff's vast knowledge and enthusiasm for the area is unsurpassed. Easy going and good humor are also part of the days fishing. And his poling approach to sighted fish, always makes my casting as easy as it can be under the challenging circumstances. My son Stephen and I, have taken many double figure snook with Geoff.

And then when he takes you in the back country, way back where only and handful can go, at best, it is like seeing the glades as it must have been hundreds of years ago. A labyrinth of red mangroves, tunnels, saw grass buttonwoods, creeks, lakes and bays, mixed with snook, redfish, tarpon, largemouth bass and bull sharks. It is one of my favorite places to fly fish in the world.

Till next fishing trip, su amigo, Chico Fernandez

HELL'S BAY, James W. Hall's 15th novel, goes on sale FEBRUARY 2008.
It was supposed to be an idyllic cruise to explore some virgin lakes unseen by anyone before.  But that cruise turns ugly in a hurry.  On a houseboat isolated in the the middle of the wilderness, Thorn and a handful of others are targeted for murder.  Under siege from an unknown killer whose motives only gradually become clear, and unable to trust the other crew members onboard, Thorn must summon all his survival skills to make it through the next twenty-four hours.  No phone, no radio, no contact with anyone back in civilization.  This is Thorn's ultimate test. Pre-Order Hells Bay
