I'm looking for a volunteer who can help float stock the Pequannock River TCA on Wednesday May 15th and/or Friday May 24th. One volunteer per day is fine. If you or anyone you know would be interested please PM me and I'll fill you in on all the details. Thanks, PRomano

With the recent rains and warmer weather I had a hunch my favorite trout stream would fish well today. So out I headed with some freshly tied Prince nymphs and Pheasant Tail's. Much to my delight, my hunch was right on. Within minutes I landed a very impressive wild brown. Impressive by NJ...

Here's 3 more I tied this morning. A new General Practitioner that looks dynamite, A Green Highlander and an Orange/Yellow Cascade.

GP's imitate prawns and are deadly when the large Atlantic Salmon enter the rivers in the Fall. In exactly 1 month from today I'll be on the Miramichi river swinging one of these through the currents. I can't wait!!:) Hook - TMC 7999 # 4 Tag - oval gold tinsel Tail - orange bucktail, teo golden...

This is my first crack at an Orange Flamethrower. Hook- Gaelic Supreme low water salmon double size 8 Thread- 8/0 hot orange Tag- Oval gold tinsel Body- rear half is hot orange floss, front is oval gold tinsel Center hackle- hot orange hen neck Front hackle- hot orange hen neck Tail- Icelandic...

Here's my first attempt at tying an Undertaker. It's also my first pattern tied on a double salmon hook. I found it easier to ty on a double because of the flat surface created by doubling back of the iron. Keep in mind if you wish to ty a few of these for Steelhead, doubles are not legal on the...

The Laxa Blue is another popular Canadian Atlantic Salmon pattern. The floss and the squirrel tail were a bitch to tye but overall I think it came out nice. Hook - Tiemco 7999 Tag - Silver Tinsel Butt - Green/Red Floss Tail - Golden Pheasant Crest Body - Blue Floss Rib - Silver Oval Tinsel...

Here is a much improved Ally Shrimp; this time in Blue. The corrections being the squirrel under-wing extending half the distance to the end of the tail and most importantly the space behind the hook eye. The space behind the hook eye is to allow room for a turtle knot or riffling hitch. Enjoy!

This is my first attempt at tying an Atlantic Salmon fly. Actually its my second attempt as I forgot to tie the collar on the first fly. This pattern is called the "Alley Shrimp" and I hear its a killer pattern on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick Canada. So let me know what you think? It...

Discovered this article in Yahoo news this morning. Good thing I stocked up on hackle the past few years. :) Fly fishermen, fashionistas fight over feathers - Yahoo! News

So I decide to get out and hit a trout stream for the first time in 2011. The water level at my favorite spot is about 4 to 5 times higher than you would normally find it at this time of year but I figured what hell.... let me give it a go anyway. :) Sure enough just when I thought the skunk...

A good friend of mine just returned from vacation in California. She notice a very large cat outside her motel room and managed to take this photograph. The area she was visiting is notable for having both Bobcat and Mountain Lion. What kind of cat do you think this guy is? Obviously if you...

Apple Does it Again! Apple announced today that it has developed a breast implant that can store and play music. The iTit will cost between $499.00 and $699.00, depending on cup and speaker size. This is considered a major social breakthrough, because women are always complaining about men...

Just wanted to wish Soft Hackle a happy birthday and thank him for allowing me to use his artwork for my wine label.:)

I found a fly box loaded with nymphs while fishing a TCA in northern N.J. this evening. If they're yours PM me with details and I will return them.:)

This is an ISO pattern that I developed myself. It's a compilation of ISO patterns that I have seen over the years taking the best qualities of each design and incorporating them into one. This is the one nymph pattern that I always have on the end of my leader; either as the point fly or...

The weather was lousy so I spent most of my day tying emergers. Hope you enjoy them. Pete :)
