Hi, Can anyone provide me with some info on a fly shop located on the Lackawaxen river in Rowland PA. The shop was owned by Charlie Bright. A wet fly that came from that shop was the Lackie Special. I remember doing a feature on it years ago but I'm not certain where I posted it. At 75 things...

It's here. That glorious season. Brk Trt

Anybody have contact info on "Corndog" It's been a long time since I've talked to him. Thanks, Alan

The good that can happen when several like minded groups unite and work for the brook trout. Fly fishing on FLT's recently conserved property Brk Trt

This Spring has been some what of a mystery. One day it is here and the next day it's back to Winter. The cold water temps at night have been the problem. The brook trout at this time of year have been taken on dries with frequency in a normal Spring...but not this year. But this day they...

Winter has left for good. The weather the last few days has got both fish and anglers excited. Here are a few photos from a recent outing. Beautiful, bright and clear. All alone. The soft hackle has been the fly on each of the last several trips. The last fish of the day. Brk Trt

Wishing all a Happy Easter. Brk Trt

This is the pattern that Barleywine mentioned to me. I love the histories of these old flies. Brk Trt

Several months ago I came across a pattern called a "Jingler" it's an old English border pattern. It uses both dry and soft hackle. I tied a few but as of yet I have not been able to test them on the streams I fish. I received a PM from "Barleywine" telling me of a pattern called a "Cinberg"...

Spent several days in October hiking and fishing small streams in SNP. The streams were low and the wild brook trout were very cautious. I was able to fool a few including several in full Autumn attire. I have fished all of New England as well as New York and Pennsylvania and have taken many...

It has been some time since my last post. Here is a little adventure on a small stream in the wilds of northern Connecticut. We had several rain events including tropical storm Arthur which came on the 4th of July. This rain brought the levels of this blue line to great fishing. The brook...

I crossed the Connecticut river just about sunup. I continued to ride east until I arrived at a place of solitude. This stream is located in a valley. Its waters are pure with an amber tint. There's no anglers here, most are concerned with river flows, and hatch charts. This is a place for...

Just a few questions about Barleywines avatar. It looks to be some of Fran Betters fly tying materials there, perhaps for the Ausable wulff, or bomber. The wine glasses contain what? Brk Trt

A couple of outings in March produced some wonderful results. The flies used were simple hair wing streamers. Some of them tied with bucktail and some with squirrel tail. The bodies were floss of various color as were the ribs. Early Spring and small stream wild brookies. They do attack...

A small stream in southern CT. This was a day in mid January before winter really set in. The day was partly sunny with some clouds mixing in. The air temp was high thirties and the stream was flowing nicely. The water clarity was so clear that it seemed to be absent. I had started fishing a wet...
