Fishing Streamsong
Fishing the phosphate pits was something I’d heard about ever since I got to Florida. This week I finally got a chance to try it.
Alex and I went to Streamsong Resort on Tuesday for some fishing and R&R. In a mastery of understatement, it’s quite the place.
We fished Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning with Bill Read, one of three guides on staff. Bill was everything you want your guide to be- knowledgeable, patient, personable, with a sense of humor. We immensely enjoyed fishing with him.
If you enjoy bass fishing and plush accommodations you need to try fishing Streamsong.
On to the photos.

The bookshelf in our room was custom made for these books.
Some of the other guests had nice wheels.

This was a nice fish!

Alex and Bill do a little celebrating.
I certainly hope I get another chance at fishing Streamsong!
