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... Read More...

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.

As I laid there... Read More...

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!
