Fly Fishing History Documentary
Hey everyone, my name is Diogo and I started a fly fishing documentary series! The first episode introduces my friend Peter and I, who will host colorful characters and fly fishing legends across the fly fishing landscape. For the second episode, we partnered with the Catskill Fly Fishing Center & Museum to produce “Streams of Heritage” briefly goes over the history of the dry fly and fly fishing in the United States, which originated in the Catskills. Streams of Heritage: We are just getting started! These subjects will be expanded upon and our next few episodes will focus on conservation, heritage and history. I’d be honored if you took 20 minutes to watch the latest episode. We will be bringing some exciting documentaries once a month starting in January, 2024! Hope you can tune in. Respectfully, Diogo Frequent Flyers Fishing “Live & Let Fly” Documentary Series

Isonychia bicolor is a species of mayfly commonly referred to as the "mahogany dun" or "slate drake" by anglers. Here are some details and facts about this mayfly species: Habitat: They are found in many streams and rivers, especially in the Eastern United States. These mayflies prefer clean, running water. Life Cycle: Like other mayflies, Isonychia bicolor has a short adult lifespan, sometimes only lasting a few hours to a couple of days. The purpose of the adult stage is primarily reproduction. They undergo an incomplete metamorphosis, which includes the egg, nymph, subimago (dun), and imago (spinner) stages. Nymph Stage: The nymphs are active swimmers and can be found in the fast currents of streams. They have a distinctive appearance with dark bodies and pale markings. Importance for Anglers: This species is of particular interest to fly fishermen because trout and other fish often feed on the nymphs and emergers. As such, there are many fly patterns designed to imitate both...

    This time of the year.. only the hatchery stretch, about 50 feet past the outlet, the trout will be stacked one on top of the other for the cold water. Really challenging. ;) Its too hot for C&R anywhere else in NJ

    Took the family out west for the 4th of July. They got to see the Grand tetons & Yellowstone Park. 4th of July in Jackson Hole wasnt too shabby. Highlight was catching the northern lights right by the tetons. Words cant properly describe it.

    I looked at your new venture... add the Delaware to the warm water options.. the fishing for smallmouth and catfish is exceptional. I hear there are lots of Musky as well, but I haven't targeted them yet. Walleye, largemouth, stripers....

    The IP address, isn't really a good way to pinpoint location. Now that Firefox has a built in VPN that lets you pick your apparent location, it's even worse.... I'm really surprised that so many spammers/scammers are still using blacklisted IPs. We may only be catching the stupid ones.
