Photos of the Day: Banging Some Drums in Florida

Chris Lewis of the Skinny Water Culture blog, who sent us some pics from Flamingo, Florida back in September, recently sent us some more pics, this time including a species you don’t often see:

Just got back from a 3-day 2-night kayak trip from Flamingo to Islamorada. It was an amazing trip. We caught too many reds to count. I also broke off two really big bonefish and got a nice black drum.

As you can see, this redfish did a number on Chris’s (non-Orvis) fly rod. photo courtesy Chris Lewis
