Nick Granato Tuesday, July 26, 2011 Typically no one thinks of fishing streamers in the middle of summer. Especially not when fish are looking up for terrestrials, caddis or large stoneflies. In all honesty several of my best streamers days have been had in June through September, not late fall […]
Dustin Carlson Monday, July 18, 2011 The Albright Knot is a very strong connection from your fly line to your leader or butt section. It can also be used to attach a fly line to backing. The strength of this knot comes from the core of the fly line being […]
Dustin Carlson Thursday, July 7, 2011 The Homer Rhode Double Overhand Loop Knot is a great variation on the basic Homer Rhode Loop Knot. This knot adds one more tightening point in the knot to keep it from slipping out. A good solid loop knot is invaluable when fishing streamers […]
Marc Payne Thursday, June 16, 2011 On the Clinch River in East Tennessee, west of interstate 75 as it bridges the water at breakneck speed is a mass of T.V.A. power lines that keep the City of Knoxville and points beyond supplied with electricity. The water beneath these lines is […]
Dustin Carlson Thursday, June 9, 2011 The Improved Blood Knot is great for connecting a smaller line to a larger line (like lighter class tippet to heavy shock or bite material). Double your lighter tippet over to create a loop and lay the two tag ends side-by-side, facing the opposite […]
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 […]
Nick Granato Wednesday, May 4, 2011 Hook: Gamakatsu B10s # 2 Eyes: Pseudo Eyes Plus Large Tail: Craft Fur Foul Guard: Calves Tail Body and Head: Custom Blended Dubbing, one part wool one part mixed ice wing fiber. I developed this baitfish pattern while fishing for late season Wipers. In […]
Dustin Carlson Friday, April 29, 2011 …or, even better, spend a day on the water with. Honestly, this was a very difficult list to come up with. Not because there are few, but because there are so many accomplished anglers both past and present. One could easily list their top […]
We sat down with Scientific Angler’s Jeff Wieringa and asked him ten questions. If you don’t know Jeff, you should. You probably owe a lot of the innovations in fly fishing to his mad-scientist type mind. He is inventor of Sharkskin and the designer of the new Scientific Anglers waterproof […]
