The Eyes Have It

November 9, 2019November 19, 2019 BlogFlyFish

With night temps plummeting, I last night debated if I should fish this morning. After a few seconds, the answer rang clear: of course I should! Another 3:30 am alarm time. I already had tied up some new streamers, both articulated and regular, and I was eager to see where the fish would be. Could

Strike Triggers

November 3, 2019November 3, 2019 BlogFlyFish

One fun upside from tying flies is I can add my own strike triggers. After reading Jason Randall’s Feeding Time, which is excellent, I try to incorporate certain triggers in my flies. I weaved in some for yesterday’s “hot” streamer. I’m not sure why my this new streamer duped 12 fish yesterday. But, when I

A Face Full of Feathers

November 2, 2019November 12, 2019 BlogFlyFish

I only have time for a short blog post, as we’re off to dinner soon. Here are the details: Arrived at the Farmington at 6 am, well before the 7:30 am sunrise. Fished in the dark to start off; amazingly, landed a ‘bow right away. It was 29 °F when I got there, and ice

The Sex Dungeon Streamer

November 1, 2019November 12, 2019 BlogFlyFish

I told Damon Matus, a fellow BlogFlyFish.com teammate, that I was going to break my “fish only what I tie” rule. For articulated streamers, I was planning on throwing store-bought ones. After all, they’re reasonably priced, take a long time to make, and require some investment in new materials. I was resolved to do the

Instagram post 2193719854698419357_4023695102 @ctflyguy, you were so right about shortening the tippet behind the weight (from 4’ to 1’ to 2’) and casting up and across for #steelhead at the #salmonriverny. Had many legit takes and almost no foul hooking. A guy who swung nymphs all day admitted to me that most of his fish were foul hooked. Also, thank you @thomasandthomasflyrods. Your Contact six weight was awesome! #thomasandthomasflyrods #grateful #tightlining #steelheadfishing

Instagram post 2192509662728084212_4023695102 Last day. 0 for 2. Steelhead fishing is everything they say it is: cold, physically and mentally challenging, and brief glimpses of madness when a fish is on. I ended my trip doing the low percentage thing: swinging a streamer as the sun set.... #salmonriver salmonriver #salmonriverny #flyfishing #flyfishingblog
