I personally know a lot of fly fisherman that only fish on vacations, or quick trips to the mountains or coast. Nothing wrong with that, but there's plenty of options to hone your skills all over our great state. You want a physically demanding, but yet rewarding experience? Go after our native redeye bass! Part of the fun is exploring creeks and trying to find them, but the real reward is all the other things you see while out in some of the wildest places Alabama has left.

Awesome photos! Love watching the gar. They're spawning and cruising the shoreline here in our neighborhood lakes.

I know the white ones are mountain laurel but what are the pink flowers called? I've seen them out before.

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I love creek fishing. May have to try it on the fly. I’ve never seen an eastern king snake in AL. Mainly due to the fact I don’t spend much time where they are. Very cool.
