Marc Payne Monday, January 16, 2012 I suck at tying and fishing dry flies. If you want a nymph, I can fix you up. Soft hackle? No problem. But if it is a dry fly, you can forget it. Dry flies are congruent, poised, and angelic. Nymphs and soft hackles […]
Dustin Carlson Wednesday, January 11, 2012 Get kids involved in fishing…it is a far better past time than staring at a computer screen or a gaming device. Teach them young to get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors the same way that you do. For helpful hints, visit: Take Me […]
Nehil Keeley Monday, January 9, 2012 A Double Whammy has solved some of the toughest hatches. Our friends in England have been fishing soft hackles since the late middle ages (medieval times) as some suggest they date back to the 1400’s or even earlier. The soft hackle was a little […]
Dustin Carlson Tuesday, December 27, 2011 While epoxy is a well known fly tying material, it has been scarcely used because it was a real pain in the you-know-what. It was like trying to juggle within a time limit. You have to mix it, hope you got the proportions right, […]
Brian Nelson Tuesday, December 20, 2011 The idea of using tying materials to enhance a fly pattern’s effectiveness is as ancient as the inception of fly tying. In fact, it could be argued that the practice of manipulating both old and new materials in different ways into both old and […]
Rob Bridge Tuesday, December 13, 2011 It has been said that a dog is man’s best friend. Never has this adage been more true than with the relationship between an angler and his/her dog. Fishing dogs are loyal, willing partakers of the adventures we pursue as anglers. The connection is […]
Scott Slivers Wednesday, December 7, 2011 Winter presents some of the best fishing all year. Less crowds, dry fly fishing, and you don’t need to be on the river at O’dark-thirty. What more could you ask for? When asking anglers about winter fishing, one might encounter many different opinions. There […]
Brian Nelson Friday, December 2, 2011 I had a lot of success with Magpie Nymphs. However, unlike its dry counterpart; the mosquito, a Magpie Nymph does not imitate a mosquito very well. But this got me to thinking, “What wet fly does?” Besides, the best places I knew of to […]
woo Saturday, November 26, 2011 Let’s talk about keeping your feet warm. This discussion always comes up this time of year, and a little bit of planning and foresight will really go a long way toward making your winter days on the water much more enjoyable. First, we will develop […]
Dustin Carlson Thursday, November 17, 2011 Most people don’t think of Dakine when they think of fly fishing gear, but I am here to tell you that they should. A perfect example is the Dakine Waterproof Duffel. This gear bag is made of waterproof fabric and all the seams are […]
woo Wednesday, November 2, 2011 I’ll emerge from my tent as the morning sun rises, The day full of promise and lush with surprises. The glow of a fire once reaching skyward, Will sizzle and steam under black coals interred. I’ll wipe haze from my eyes and shake sleep from […]
Brian Nelson Wednesday, October 26, 2011 I enjoyed a lot of success as a kid one summer with a traditionally tied mosquito dry fly, but then one day it stopped working, just like that. Ah, such is trout fishing! Further observation revealed that the fish had switched to sub-surface feeding, […]
