Sign up for more tips for flyfishing in our area from John Ashley here!

The last few days are upon us (if you are in SDFF #1, for SDFF #2, your turn is coming sooner than you think) soon we’ll touching down in either La Paz or San Jose del Cabo. Believe me THAT is not the time to realize you’ve forgotten your flies, sunglasses or prescription meds. Here is what I call my FINAL list – it is the one I print out and check off as I load up the night before lift off.
