Yesterday, saltwater fly-fishing icon Stu Apte celebrated his ninety fifth birthday. One of many pioneers of catching tarpon on a fly, Apte constructed a reputation for himself by way of feats of angling heroics (together with 44 world information) and infinite self promotion. We posted a great profile of Apte by Jim Chapralis again in 2011:
Stu Apte’s angling philosophy calls for the highest quality deal with rigged to the very best of his potential in order that he can stress a fish to the gear’s max or close to max when needed. When he’s critical about his fishing, he makes each solid, each presentation, each retrieve as if there’s a world report fish able to hit his lure or fly. He admits it’s onerous to maintain up the depth, however that’s what he tries to do when he’s in that “zone.”
To have a good time Apte’s birthday, try the good video above, and take heed to his look on Andy Mill’s Mill Home Podcast under.
