Beautiful brookies for sure. Enjoy seeing your reports. Some day I will try to fish them myself.

I lost my green Umpqua UPG weekend fly box on Thursday 5/22 in the canyon section up stream from the old hatchery about mid way up stream from fisherman's paradise. If you hear about someone finding one I can identify the contents of the box and would love to get it back. I forgot to zip my...

Not sure how the Lehigh fishes in July but there is plenty of river to fish there. Visit the Evening Hatch right on Rt 940. They have links to the stockings, hatch charts and water levels and a list of approved waters on their website. They have always been very helpful to us when we visit...

Thanks Phil. We fished the lehigh all 3 days last week and there was some real good caddis hatches going on that offered some fun on the dry, saw a few march browns but nothing heavy to speak of. I nymphed the whole time and caught the majority of my fish on PT/Frenchie style nymphs in sz 18...

Well it's that time of the year for our annual fishing get together with my Dad, brother and my son. Normally we rent a place in central PA, but life has been busy with the birth of my niece and my sons graduation from college so we couldn't make set plans and decided to fish out of my dad's...

Here is one from CT.

Troutguy if you are talking about my avatar, yes I did take that. Took that a few years ago in the Delaware water Gap in NJ. Got plenty of video of bears from down there as well. We did fish spring creek again yesterday and had a spectacular sulphur spinner fall and I actually caught some...

Made it to PA today only to find Penns blown out again so we headed up for an evening trip to fisherman's paradise on spring creek which was a first for us. What a beauty of a creek. Got to watch the eagles nest for a bit while talking with some locals, then we hiked down the road past the...

My dad, brother and I are heading down to Penns Creek for a few days of fishing starting Wednesday. The river has been dropping nicely and if the rains are not to bad it should be good fishing. Anyone else going? We are staying at Schafers and this will be our 3rd trip to Penns and something...

great looking ties and definitely fish catchers, especially if I can tie them and catch fish with them. TGs suggestion of tying the hackle in front of the bead is interesting and something I must try. Thanks TG.

my dad has been catching shad in the gap for two weeks now. The last week with the drop in water temps have slowed things down according to him. They fish right at the end of the Worthington campground mostly and up river to coppermine parking lot. I wouldn't fish next him though, he will...

Hit the FFO section of the Willimantic TMA Sunday afternoon for a couple of hours and managed 4 trout, 1 miss and also landed one dace all while euro nymphing. took 2 on a brown rubber leg stone and 2 on small frenchie nymph and the dace on a walts worm. Water temp was 42 degrees and...

Nice start to the tying. Now go fish them.

I keep telling myself and my wife I'm saving money but it's not true. But I enjoy it and keeps me happy. I use a vise exactly like this one Fly Tying Vise with Spring Loaded Jaws It works well and I tie down to size 20. Can't beat the price. Holds hooks well, lots of adjustment. Check it...

I've been hunting the DWG area for 34 years now and have had many an encounter with bears. Some closer then others and all but one ran away full bore. the one that didn't never got aggressive and just kept coming my way. I gave him my spot and I took his. A few springs ago durign a4 day I...

Nice ties Lunker. Keep at it. If you get a chance to get in on some tying classes or something do it. You pick up so many little tips and tricks that make life so much easier.

congrats on your first fish on the fly. The only better feeling is when you catch a fish on the first fly you've ever tied. Welcome to the passion.

Great pictures. Thanks for sharing

Finally got a chance to get back on the water so I met up with JT from JT's fly shop Sunday morning to fish the Willi. We were on water by 6am and off by 10:30. Caught a mixed bag including a Blue Gill and Calico. You can read the full report here: Willimantice River TMA Outing 5/29/11 | JT's...

I don't tie dries yet so I have to stop and stock up when I get there. I was hoping to tie up some crane flies nymphs before i leave. We didn't make it up to the poe paddy section last year but we plan on it this trip. I just get lost when I am out there. Love it.
