A note from Tim Regan:

“Patience! When I’m blind casting, I always use the rod to make my fly twitch towards the end of a retrieve. A good percentage of the fish I catch come from doing this, especially fluke in the surf.

The striped bass here sprinted towards my Holy Moley fly after the first twitch, then ate it right after the second twitch. Hope you can see all that from this high vantage. Look closely and you’ll see a very large fish cruising slowly at the bottom of the frame.”

Nelson Oxley
I’m originally from Tabernash, Colorado, and my passion for fishing started early, influenced by my grandfather, who managed Nelson’s Fly Shop. As soon as I got my driver’s license, I began guiding, and now I’m in my seventh year of doing so. I am a Account Manager at Flylords. I work with various brands in the industry to grow their digital marketing presence and run campaigns to increase their product and brand visibility. One thing I love about Flylords is the passion that goes into our work; everyone is deeply involved in what we strive to create. My favorite types of fishing are casting dry flies from a drift boat and stalking flats species from a skiff!
