My name is Bruce Smith and fishing is my life. One phrase that comes to
mind when people ask what I have been up to is this: I am either going
fishing, fishing, or coming home from fishing. Not that I spend much
time at home.
At the age of thirteen I tied my first fly and learned how to cast a fly
rod. Later that same year I caught my first trout on the fly rod and to
my great wonderment that trout bit on a fly that I had tied. Uncle Jerry
from Yuba city initially showed me the way of the trout in moving water.
From what mayfly nymphs look like to how to bounce a single salmon egg
along the bottom with just the right amount of weight to keep it ticking
the rocks.
Since that time long ago, I have attained a 100 ton Master Mariner
license from the U.S. Coast Guard and am using it to captain the
sport-fishing vessel Shogun out of Fisherman's Landing in San Diego,Ca.,
USA. www.shogunsportfishing.com
In recent times, my wife and I have pulled stakes and moved to south
east Idaho to be near our most beloved stillwaters Henrys lake, Island
Park reservoir and Clark Canyon reservoir.
As of late my most recent project includes starting a stillwater
bulletin board www.EverythingStillwater.com along with the saltwater
reporting site of www.bigfishhappen.com.
Thanks for reading. Hope to meet you someday.
Big Fish Happen,
Bruce A. Smith
