LETTING IT FLY! More Than Fly Fishing … Since 2007

Bienvenido a Texas 2024! The Friendly State

I look at the fly fishing culture like the photographer I still am; with a wide angle lens, and then drill down to a macro perspective. The wide view? It includes just about anything and nearly everything. The macro view? Fly fishing refreshments like microbrews and cultured coffee roasters, food, wellness, art, travel and music seem to be the evenly mixed ingredients. In 2008, inspired by the greatest depression (so far), I sub-dubbed this site,”Fly Fishing Culture on the Skids,” and in 2024, Texas Fly Caster still claims that low ground, and a bit more as well. I am trying my hand at bilingual videos, and stories already translated to Spanish. We’re facing forward with new fly fishing story themes for the rest of the 2020’s, most important being “The Wholistic Fly Fisher ©,” a way of being for those of us who never want to stop fly fishing. Then, there will be the sidebar adventures thanks to the 1970 Airstream Safari rebuild that will be done soon. Where will it go? Subscribe, and ride along!
