With all of the Float Tubers out there, wouldn't it be nice if someone made a Fish Finder with us in mind?  I know what you're thinking... "they already do".  Sure they do, if you don't mind parting with $200.00 and then have something else dangling in the water.  Hey, between my big flippers and a trolling motor - I give the fish a genuine obstacle course.  If you've ever had a fish wrap a line around your flippers - you know that you don't need something else hanging in the water!

AND... wouldn't it be nice, if you decided to do a bit of shore fishing, that you could use that same Fish Finder?  hmmm?  Is this too much to ask for?  NOPE!

The "HawkEye Portable Fish Finder" does all of this.  You can use it in a Float Tube, a boat, from the shore, heck you can even use it from a bridge.  It's small enough to store in your tackle box.  You don't need to buy a special holder -  it comes with a neck strap.  

At half the price of other Float Tube Fish Finders, this is  a real DEAL!   Why kick all day - hoping to find a good fishing hole?  Fish smart!  

Quit guessing and start catching!  Order yours today!

Cold Weather Tubing

 

 

 

 

 

Don't put that float tube away for the winter - get ready for "Cold Weather Tubing"

 

  HFTA welcomes Steve Summers   

HFTA has had several offers for a TV spots.  Steve will be in charge of the still and video photography for the association. 

He's already informed me that we need to hit the water.  I reminded him that it's winter, here in the mountains of California, but that didn't change his mind.  He's just ordered a CADDIS Navigator II and as soon as it arrives - we're heading to a Lake, in search of 20-40# Stripped Bass.   

Steve is a Disabled Veteran, who also lives by our Motto...

   NO CHALLENGE TOO GREAT  

 

Are we crazy? Going after one of these monsters in a Float Tube?  Of course we are, but I know you'll enjoy the pictures!  I'll enjoy the ride!  Yee-Ha.....

 

Crappie Tactics

Crappie are, in my opinion, one of the most fun fish to catch and certainly one of the best tasting fish

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome

I want to welcome our newest members from New Zealand, Spain & Great Britain.  Glad to have you aboard!  

Don't forget to send me pictures of your catch!

Fisherman's Prayer

I pray that I may live to fish.......
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord's great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep.

 

OUCH !
What to do when you CATCH yourself!

HOW TO REMOVE A FISH HOOK

 

 

Pan Fish in Small Water 
I've discovered a division of brutish and hearty pan fish that dwell in shallow places year round

TY-ALL
TY-ALL

This device ties knots that hold. Quality knots save lures, fish and time. Useful for anyone and a must for one-handed fishing. Aids fishermen in threading hooks, tying knots, and cutting line. The Ty-All comes with mounting bolt and wing nut, line cutter and threader, and instruction book which illustrates knot tying.

Open Water Jig Techniques 

Drift jigging in open water is a fishing technique being used by an ever increasing number of anglers as they discover its effectiveness and ease of application

 

J-PLUG TROLLING

More and more anglers today are switching to J-PlugsŪ because, as in the past, plugs are known to produce more and larger fish on a regular basis.

We're Putting the Dough to the Test

We have a winner!

Theresa was thrilled to have won the CADDIS Float Tube, in our 911 Fire Fighters Disaster Fund Raffle.  We managed to raise a couple hundred dollars and pray that it will help the families of these heroic men and women.

A very special thank you to CADDIS Float Tubes - for helping us! 

   

Western Fly Fisher offers a FREE On-Line magazine.  There's a ton of great articles in here, plus you can get back issues too.  It made me want to start tying my own flies again! Just click on the picture...

 

Recently, our website has proudly, received some awards.  You can see them on our Awards Page.  We appreciate each and every one.    

Since I've visited so many great websites, I thought it only appropriate to highlight some of these sites, by offering our own award.  So, if you have a website - drop me a line.  It doesn't have to be a Fishing Site, as long as you support the handicapped anglers.
