In my opinion, it was about time somebody designed a fly line specifically for the musky angler, ESPECIALLY one that comes in a 500gr. Boy was I happy to see that Scientific Anglers was coming out with a line for this year, especially since my previous “musky” line was near […]

Welcome back! You fine folks are in for a treat today, as I want to share with you how to tie up a Golden Rowley Stone. This was my most productive stonefly pattern last season, leading to big fish with big appetites. For this fly I took the traditional Rowley […]
The Brule River X-Legs is an absolute must-have pattern for chasing Lake Superior steelhead on the famous Brule River in northern Wisconsin. It has caught countless fish under an indicator, even as a swung fly, and is one of the most popular stonefly patterns in the area. It works not […]
It was that time of year again in my neck of the woods. The time of the season where we let the fish do their thing in the rivers so we can have lots of other little fishes to catch in the future. The spring closure is a tough period […]
Sometimes flies are created out of necessity, and other times they are created out of new materials that leave you scratching your head what to do with. This fly came out of the latter, after a friend of mine introduced me to Semperfli Straggle String. I had seen him use […]

December and January are excellent months to reflect back on a year of fishing and to plan for the next year. For the last four years the Kanektok River in Alaska has been a “must do” for me, and I look forward to visiting the river again in 2019. Paul […]
As the chill of winter sets in and 2018 slinks to an end, I’ve had plenty of time to reflect on an incredible year of fishing. The dry fly days in January, tossing shiny and obnoxious flies into pools deep in the jungle, and landing some hard-hitting Kokanee back home […]
Hidden within one of the many greasy summer stories comes the tale of the grease bull. As you may have previously read, last years greasy summer was spent exploring new and untouched waters. Many of which led to disappointment and heartache. However, each outing I gained more experience and more […]
Pretty sure I saw something similar to this on Instagram sometime over the past year. For some reason it popped back into my head the past month and I decided I had to tie some. This may or may not be close to what I remember seeing and if not, […]
