‘All In’
The hunt. The second guessing. The missed hook sets. We’ve all been there.
Then, a perilous fish fight. Vindication. And, another fish.
I love this video. I think it is one of the best I’ve seen in a while.

A Midge Emerger Fly
ByJo TangoWell, I’ve tied a bunch of midge emergers in sizes 26 down to 32. It’s not fun to do, but I’ll do what I must to hook trout. The last time I was at the Swift, I put on one of those flies. I saw some actively-feeding fish and cast out. I saw one of…

Report: Swift River
ByJo TangoIt was a good day on the Swift River. Was skunked in the morning at the Westfield, and so, was seeking redemption. In spite of the parking lot on both sides of Route 9 being jammed with cars, I was able to get some elbow room and land about 15 trout. Some looked recently-stocked, while…
Hard Work at the Farmington
ByJo TangoOk, that was tough. I wanted a challenge, and so, I decided to target the wily fish at the Farmington during cold and windy conditions. And, I didn’t want to use any indicators. It was tightlining or bust for me. I fished in freezing conditions for five hours before pausing. Until 11 am, ice on…
Thanks for posting this, Jo, what a great video on so many levels.
