    Felt in the mood to tie a MOM fly For anyone who hasnt tied whole woodduck wings, dont try it on a hook this big. The stems are flat, and when tying them on, tend to twist so they lie flat on the top of the shank, thus twisting the feather horizontal, rather than vertical - it took some choice language and a bit of ingenuity to get them finally to sit like i wanted them. Anways, a les...

    Callibaetis


      By Ralph Cutterhttp://www.flyline.comThere is no insect more important to the Western stillwater angler than the Callibaetis. None.In some waters, damselflies provide explosive angling for unusually large trout, and on other waters fish wouldn’t survive but for the presence of midges; but taken as a whole, no bug dominates more waters than the Callibaetis mayfly.Callibaetis (...

    My First TimeBy Kevin McKayedited by Jennifer Bowman-McKayMy first time is something I will never forget. I was in my 20's and this was totally new to me. I wanted to try it and wanted it bad. I know it was late in life for my first experience but it is just how it worked out. It was early on a dark and cold April morning. I woke at 1 am as the excitement was over- whelming.

After the 2011 season - which was one of the best on record - everyone had very high expectations that 2012 would be a repeat of 2011 - but it was not to be! With the warm weather in July setting the tone for a hot and dry summer without any rain to speak of...Read More...
