Mellow Yellow

October 11, 2019October 9, 2019 Jamie Carr

Like many anglers who learned a cast or a tip from Bernard “Lefty” Kreh, my son and I both feel a bit of a connection to the legendary angler. Maybe, it’s more like a small debt.  Or, a dash of jealousy, even, as Lefty was a person who accumulated multiple lifetimes of fishing knowledge and

Lost and Found: Fly Box at the Swift River

October 9, 2019 Jamie Carr

I found a small brown fly box floating in the Swift River below Route 9.  There’s no name in it, but there are some nice flies.  See the picture below. It was well-camouflaged in an eddy on the side of the river, and it looks like it may have been there for a while.  If

Abaco Relief Effort

September 12, 2019 Jamie Carr

Angler, writer, doctor and friend Brian Irwin from New Hampshire is putting together a GoFundMe for a relief effort for the Bahamas. Fly fishing was the origin of his previous trips to the Bahamas.  What really comes through from his visits are the relationships forged with the people of the Bahamas who have become his

A Nod to Our Rods

July 9, 2019July 6, 2019 Jamie Carr

Fly rods are paradoxes in practice: they weigh a few ounces and tame fish weighing pounds.  They are wispy, thin, even brittle in the wrong context (underfoot or in a car window).  But, when attached to a fish, they protect tippets and tame our quarry. I am not a big “tool guy.”  But, fly rods

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
