I guess that’s why it so much fun, to experience the double, triple and even quadruple hook-ups that we often get in Guatemala!

The Meko Special is a hot new bonefish pattern developed by a veteran guide and sold exclusively by Orvis.

The bonefish are always out there, nosing through currents and turtle grass. Somewhere. But when the wind is blowing 20 knots across Deep Water Cay, and the clouds are turning the lights out over the flats, when a falling barometer and cruising barracudas as long as your leg are making the few bones you see as jittery as cats in a kennel, its not easy to get the skunk out of the boat. Even with a gifted Bahamian guide and fishermen as wondrous as we.

Early Tuesday, October 7, 2008, Mel Krieger passed away.  He had been very ill for a while but died peacefully.  He leaves a legacy of years of experience in fly fishing, which he has passed on to those of us in the fly fishing world through his many books and instructional videos. He will be missed.
