Look at a map of eastern Louisiana, from Bastrop to New Roads, and you’ll realize the power of the mighty Mississippi. Over millennia, the great river has carved out dozens of deep waterways, most of which have become isolated from the river’s flow.

The Starling is a subtle fly that provides a hint of flash without spooking fish. A starling is born

Many centuries from now, archeologists will unearth a fishing diary belonging to one Catch Cormier. They’ll study it and find an amazing discovery. Like the Shroud of Turin, it will baffle scientists.

Ponds are a great place to use ultralight tackle. A bluegill like this on a 2-weight rod feels like a large bass! Life of Pond

One of the top movies of 2012 was “Life of Pi.” It’s the story of a young Indian boy named Pi, victim of a shipwreck who spends over 200 days aboard a small boat with a Bengal tiger. He survives by catching fish.

Tie on the proper fly this month, and you can load up on succulent sac-a-lait. Sweet-tooth sac-a-lait

At the homestead, the 14th day of February is more than just Valentine’s Day: It also marks the birthdate of my wonderful wife Emelise, often referred to in this column as Mrs. Catch.

Competitors gather prior to the start of casting games at last year’s Caddo Conclave in Caddo State Park. Conclave as a verb

For the first time in nearly two decades, there will be no large commercial fly-fishing shows in the Deep South. In one of the great ironies of the 21st century (so far), the number of large-scale events across the country continues to decline while the ranks of fly fishermen continue to grow.

Looking for something different to put under the tree for that angler who has everything? Think outside the tackle box.

Sheepshead will eat almost any fly resembling vegetation, small crustaceans, barnacles or small fishes. Bringing in the sheep

Fly-rodders are a strange lot. There are those of us who will travel hundreds — sometimes thousands — of miles to catch a 10-inch fish, provided that fish happens to be the famed Gila trout or California golden trout. To land one of these rare species puts you in a very special list of folks.

With cool weather comes great fly fishing for speckled trout throughout the marsh. Trout without a doubt

The Spottail Elvis is much deserving of his reputation as the premier fly-fishing species in our state. He loves to feed in shallow water, where he can be sight fished. He makes fabulous runs when hooked. And he gets big enough to pull a kayak or canoe around.

The right fly can make for some exciting fishing in September. Making the Dog Rabid

I’ve been blessed to have known some of the greatest fly tiers of the modern era. Folks like George Harvey, Polly Rosborough, Mike Verduin, Chris Helms, Gary LaFontaine to name just a very few.

So take my word when I say that Kirk Dietrich ranks among the best.

Here in the redfish capital of the world, fly anglers can find bulls in skinny water year-round. Bring on the Bulls!

On Saturday, Aug. 18, folks in kayaks will inundate Caminada Pass in Grand Isle for the “Ride the Bull 3” extreme kayak fishing tournament. Mike LaFleur plans to be there, hoping for different results this year in the Fly Division.

Tying your own flies requires a few basic tools and practice. The art of the sport

One of the surprise films of the year has been “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen.” An international hit, it’s also been in the top five of revenue-per-theatre here in America.

Part comedy, part drama and purely inspirational, it’s the story of how Dr. Alfred Jones, an uptight, agnostic fisheries expert, discovers faith and purpose while helping a wealthy sheik realize his vision of bringing fly fishing to the desert.

A clouser is a great tool for catching coastal fish this summer. Time for summer school

A recent study found that the average age of college students is on the rise. Over 38 percent are now 25 or older.

Allan Stewart of Australia is definitely skewing the stats. The 97-year-old just graduated from Southern Cross University with a degree in clinical science.
