It has been a fly-tying spree. I learned so much during Tim Flagler’s seminar. I immediately bought some new materials and got to work. One new fly is the Micro Egg, tied in size 22. Tim swears by it and had some cool techniques. I’m a sucker for new approaches and am all-in. First, I…

I do a lot of Euro-style nymphing. Here is a video that shows the technique. The angler is employing the short-line version, also known as Czech nymphing. So, if you want to see what it looks like, click below or here.
We’ll see you on the water this weekend!
Very cool! I plan on going up next to next week during the middle of the week. I just love it up there
Enjoy!
Great family times. Enjoy!
Thanks, Sam!
