Capt. Scooby reporting in that it's a hot day here at Mudfish Adventures.  We are building out the new Rod Teaching room at headquarters.  Capt.

Capt. Scooby reporting in that Alex Bishop at 14 yrs old just landed a new youth Fly Rod record (Mirror Carp)!  The carp weighed in at 14.1 lbs and was caught on a simple Mudfish #12 Bean fly on a 10 WT Short Flyer Fly Rod... with Orvis floating line on Toledo Bend Lake, Texas. 

Capt. Scooby... Bass/Crappie testing the new 10 WT 7’7” Graphene Fly Rod blank which is paired up with a 10 WT Orvis Floating line and reel.  When you walk the shores in the Toledo Bend Lake backcountry and there is NO way to make the standard fly rod cast, try roll casting.  It’s easy with

Capt. Scooby reporting.   Interesting!  Watching Alex at 14 years old casting his custom made Mudfish Adventures 10 WT (Short Flyer) Fly Rod.  Balanced out with the Orvis 10 WT SL reel.  His tight loops and passion for catching Bass on the Fly will soon earn him a spot on the future MFA guide team, Texas/Louisiana. 

Capt. Scooby reporting.  First rain of the new year on Toledo Bend Lake this morning was calm.  Why not try the Orange Black/Gold fly?  Rod of choice is a one piece 8 WT Mudfish (Short Flyer) 7’7” balanced out on a Orvis Mirage Reel spooled with Orvis pro floating line. Water temperature is 50 degrees.
