Run, Gun and Done

November 10, 2018November 10, 2018 BlogFlyFish

If you’re a parent, you too are familiar with schedule-juggling, seizing short windows open to fishing, and making time for your family. Today, I found myself in a familiar situation, which called for the “run, gun and done” play. It meant getting up early to fish and striving to be home by noon. We have

The Micro-Thin Euronymphing Leader

October 27, 2018October 29, 2018 BlogFlyFish

Sometimes, you choose your fly-fishing schedule. Sometimes, the schedule chooses you. I fished today during the Nor’easter. With Real Life very busy these days, I don’t have many windows for fishing. I get what I get. So, with Saturday morning open, I had been looking forward to test-driving my micro-thin Euronymphing leader (prior post and

Fall on the Swift

October 21, 2018October 21, 2018 Jamie Carr

I discovered a large spider web in my left wading boot when I went to pack up the car.  I’ll let that serve as the metaphor for how often I have been fishing lately.  I have been too tangled in my current web of life to make it to the water. However, I snuck out

Swift River Update, 10/13/2018

October 15, 2018October 15, 2018 Alex Bagdonas

It’s been quite a while since my last post. Life has been a whirlwind of a time since tying the knot, honeymooning, and switching jobs. That said, I’ve still been making time to fish and tie flies whenever I can. Most of the fishing has been on a schedule, and that has led me to

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
