Dustin Carlson Tuesday, May 31, 2011 The Blood Knot is a standard in all type of fishing from freshwater to saltwater. Use it to join two strands of line together that are of similar diameter. The Blood Knot creates a really nice, low profile that goes through your guides easily. […]
Tying desk, dungeon, fly lair, man cave, the place you lock yourself in away from the kids and wife. What ever you call it you probably spend too much time there as do I. If you’re going to spend that much time somewhere you might as well make it a […]
Rob Bridge Wednesday, May 18, 2011 Last year, I took a friend who had never floated in a drift boat to float the A-section of the Green River. It was mid-week, which meant that there were very few Floaties on the river. I had placed my friend the pole position […]
Dustin Carlson Monday, May 9, 2011 The Bimini Twist is one of the most important knots most fly fisherman should know, but it is also one of the most intimidating. Well, it shouldn’t be. With a little practice almost anyone can become quite proficient at it. The Bimini Twist is […]

Nehil Keeley Thursday, April 7, 2011 Doctors Orders: Take one Ambien (a sleeping pill with apparently some side effects) before bedtime and tie a fly while you sleep. Apparently, I did just that. I awoke to find this little size #18 baetis nymph in my vise. Different from the baetis […]
Dustin Carlson Saturday, March 26, 2011 With the craze of all the ladies putting feathers in their hair (see our recent post about this), we started thinking about all the materials we have in our fly tying department. Our findings…the fly tying selection also doubles as a fashion gold mine! […]

Ryan Morse Friday, March 18, 2011 Imagine the surprise of receiving this picture via text without any prior knowledge that the person was going to be getting this tattoo. Then imagine that person being your 50 year old father! I laughed so hard I cried. My face hurt from […]
