By Dave S This is a no-nonsense, easy to tie pattern that just works. The rubber legs and artic fox add heaps of movement, and the lead eyes will get your fly down and add a nice jerk motion when fished with a floating or intermediate line. I always have […]
By Joseph Dahut At the beginning of the semester, my girlfriend Kerenn and I decided to plan a trip to a tropical destination to fish and surf after a tiring semester of work. We set our sights on eight days in Costa Rica and wanted to fund the trip from […]
I just had the opportunity to get my hands on Loon’s Fly Tying Tool Kit. Over the years I have had the privilege of spending hours tying flies with a variety of tools. Some of the tools I have used range from the tools I was given when I originally […]

It’s the time of year that the bonefish action slows down considerably and I begin seeing a plethora of winter steelhead and trout photos on internet, something I grew up doing in the Great Lakes. While I won’t be breaking out the two hander any time soon in Hawaii, there’s […]
I don’t know about you guys, but there comes a time every year that it gets pretty cold up here and I do my best to not even leave my house. What that doesn’t change is my need to eat, breathe and sleep fly fishing. The addiction runs pretty deep […]
Fly-fishing for golden trout is a time-consuming, obsession-creating adventure of a time. Golden trout are most often found in remote, alpine drainages over 9,000 feet in elevation. Generally you can’t just do a quick day trip for these ornate fish. Rather, you need to strap on a backpack and hiking […]
Fly-tying rewards those who tie in many ways – the satisfaction of replicating a bug the size of a fingernail, and then proceeding to catch a trout on your fly incites an insatiable addiction. When considering embarking on your fly-tying career, you might ponder the cost, the time, and what […]
A fun little twist on a classic. I tend to keep both traditional and flashback Pheasant Tail nymphs in my box at all times. Sometimes I find I can get more hits on the flashback, but I find it hard to believe it makes that much difference. With the being […]
