Along with October Caddis, it is approaching that time of year when Baetis/BWO’s become the dominant (Mayfly) species that begin to hatch in early Fall. They decline in activity as temperatures fall dramatically and then, magically reappear on warmer, overcast days during the Winter. Spring brings them back in force… On the [...]

This wonderful portrait was sent to me via Ally by Trish – a big fan of my mother who lives in England and spent time with my daughter Ally in NYC. A big thanks! I believe this appeared in COLLIER’S MAGAZINE around 1957…

Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery
Posted in My fly fishing story, tagged fish hatchery, Fly Fishing Story, Independence CA, kids and fish, Susan Hayward on April 14, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The Mt. Whitney fish hatchery is one of those places that I return to again and again. I first visited it in 1951 with my twin brother Greg when my Mother was filming the “Lusty Men” in and around the Owens Valley. We stayed in Lone Pine and a room cost $6.00 in that far [...]

FLYJUNKIESFLYFISHING- the DARK MAGGIE... October 18, 2009Well It's Now Fall, and for a great many of us, Our Thoughts turn to pursuing Steelhead. Steelhead can be caught most every month in some River out West, but here in California, Fall and Winter are the prime times for Steelhead making their epic journeys up Rivers from the Ocean. I haven't targeted Steelhead in a number of years and This Year the u […]noreply@blogger.com (Dean Endress)

- Fly Tying: Extended Body w/ Trimmed Feather (European Fly Angler) December 29, 2009This, to me, is a very interesting use of the feather. The barbs have been trimmed up the sides and you can see the two remaining longer barbs for the tail. This fly is a bead head. I wonder how this pattern would fish in the film, without the bead. Either way, a very innovative [...]SwittersB

It’s the truth and as a result it has prevented me from tying and fishing patterns that I should. With that [...]winonaflyfactory

- TMC 518 #32 USD December 28, 2009The upside-down style of fly design is nothing new, Roy Christie's been designing flies this way for over thirty years. It's something I've studied closely yet rarely tie and fish, despite the incredible foot-print and profile the design affords. I also have some unqualified reservations about hooking ability, which should be effectively overc […]noreply@blogger.com (Andy Baird)
