$25K sought for flats fishing study

Bonefish Tarpon Trust is asking Monroe County to chip in $25,000 toward a study that would determine how much revenue flats fishing generates in the Florida Keys.

The study, which will cost $110,000 in total, will identify the number of flats anglers who fished the Keys in the 2011-12 fishing year, a summary states. It will also identify the number of days each angler fished and what species of fish was targeted. It will estimate the annual angler expenditure in the Keys and how much the angler added in wages, jobs and tax revenues.

Dedicated To New Jersey After Hurricane Sandy

In 2012 Hurricane Sandy devastated the New Jersey coastal communities. Island Beach State Park was washed over by the storm surge. 11 years earlier Bob Popovics of The Salt Water Fly Rodders in Sea Side NJ, set out to explore the evolution of the Banger with film maker Brian Schneider.

SIFF12: NORTHEAST

The full 20 minute version of Peter Laurelli's SIFF12: Northeast...

Each year I fish and film the inshore waters of the northeastern U.S. and produce a "movie" of the results. This is the full and final version of the Surf & Inshore Fly Fishing project covering the full year 2012.

As mentioned in the teaser, a season spent chasing these fish is only a series of events with no plot or story, but when you put these seasons together, year after year, the story becomes more clear; it's the story of your life, and how you've decided to live it.

A special thanks to those who were supportive throughout the year, particularly:
MdeB, CRL & GGL
Greg Snow - Snowfly Charter
Ryan Sansoucy - Hush Fly Fishing
RISE Fly Fishing CO.
