Lane Forrer takes us to Columbia and Ecuador as we talk about how to catch peacock bass on the fly. We hear about how he found himself setting up this program in this part of the world and how you can put together a trip to the jungle.
What’s the difference between catching a regular bass versus a peacock bass? Lane describes it all today. We also discover why Columbia is actually a great fly-fishing destination – tropical weather and Spanish-speaking species!

Hi Dave,
I have been listening to your podcasts and really enjoy the content. I was wondering if you had an email address for Lane Forrer. I went to his web page and used the email provided there but he has not responded. Therefore, I am wondering if he has a different email, or it might be he is just out of internet service at this time. keep up the good work.
