(Learning how to fish wet flies) I this morning guided one of my children on a local river. We caught some bass, panfish, and chubs. Hooked a brown trout that fell off after a good battle. Trout were rising and jumping around noon. We saw only one other angler. I enjoy fishing with my children.

New Trout Stream Open to the Public
Many thanks to Colie Egertson for giving me a heads up to this development: there’s a one-mile trout stream in Western Massachusetts available to the public.

Hey Guys!
Alright, I’m finally in CA! Beautiful weather in the 70’s all week (sorry New Englanders!), and great scenery.

Report: A Small Stream (and, A Good Fly)
Colie Egerston was kind enough to email me with a fishing report. He yesterday hit one of his favorite small streams to seek wild browns and brookies. Unfortunately, water conditions were less than ideal in terms of temp and color. But, he may try again on Saturday. And, for me, I’ve been tying some flies.
