I used the same colors on West as I do in the East when I am nymphing. I am Still in love with the Pink Yarn fly with a little flash. The difference I find is that I use a bit bigger fly on the west c ...

WOW that is great that the Fly Fishing Film Tour is filling up in Maine. Wish I could be there with you boys. Have a blast and let me know how it goes. Cheers.

The Blue River is Killer there is a lot of great access. The stretch through Silverthorne gets a lot of pressure and the fish are super spooky but you can definitely catch them. Small midges and BWOs ...

thanks norm that exactly what I plan on using these reels for. My other spey reel has lost its drag system and it is time to buy a new one. I am definitely going to try some more TFO products.

I can't take it anymore. "Try this boron x2 iwz fast action fly rod and cast to the moon"..BS. I understand that fly fishing gear has come leaps and bounds over the past decade but so have t ...

Just got an update from my friend Jeff out on the Olympic Peninsula. They are getting into some great fish right now. "April fishing in February" All chrome bright rocket ships, hopefully th ...

I really want to catch an Atlantic Salmon. Probably not going to happen since I live about 2000 miles away from anything close. But, stranger things have happened. Best 2010 to everyone.

Thanks for the shout out fellas..hope you guys can make it out. Jeremy it is time for you to get your West Coast Steelhead. Since leaving my old stomping grounds on the east coast I found my way to th ...

Dennehay welcome to F&F. The Salmon River is a lot of fun to fish. My favorite time was late october thru November but I have also fished it during this time of year. From the dam to the Lake I be ...

I have a pair of Rivershed Boots with the studded stream tread and even with the studs in the bottom they are pretty slick. They are comfortable but I wish they had better traction. Like kory mentione ...

Blake whats shakin? havent seen ya in the shop lately....there are lots of fishing opportunities in Naples. Don't over look the snook under the lights late night. Always a good time. bring your glass ...

I am spoiled when it comes to winter fly fishing. Many days when it is above freezing we see midge hatches and you can actually cast a dry (if you can see it) when these hatches are going off I like t ...

Jim,

100% agree with Jeremy. Dave is a super guy and a great fly fisherman. I have learned a lot from him and feel lucky to have him as a good friend. Dave knows the Salmon River and the surroundin ...

If you are taking video one of the most difficult things (for me) is to stay stable. Especially if you do not have a tripod. Zooming also makes it 2x-10x more difficult to stay stable. As soon as you ...

I like the caddis hatch especially when the trout are super aggressive. It is fun to skate them across the surface and watch fish crush them.

The green drake hatch is amazing. Especially f you can ...

Snickers

Stripping line off the reel and the spool falls off

Wearing korkers and the interchangeable soles fall off.

Go to put split shot on and it falls in the water.

This time of year I am in the Steelhead funk everyday. Not being able to pick up and drive 7 hours to get any sort of fix really bums me out. I get a couple trips in a year but it is always a toss of ...

I think the poudre will be your best bet especially if you only have a small window. There are some good fish in there but you might want to check the local reports. We just had a big system move thro ...

Streamers are my go to box this time of year. Like you kory I find that one day you can really do well and others are hit or miss. But, when looking for BIG MOE.... streamers do the trick. Although st ...

I use dry flies as nymphs quite often. I like to drown a roys special midge emerger. For some reason it really does well just under the surface and real deep. I have sunk caddis flie before with simil ...

Swinging wet flies can be killer....but like your Jeremy I tend to forget to try it. My favorite patterns have been soft hackle flies in various colors. I like to set my line up with two flies, much l ...

I am headed back to Maine over the fourth of July and although my time is limited I am going to do a little fishing on the lake where I will be staying. The lake holds some very large small mouth and ...

Nymphing (for me) tends to be the most productive method that I use when fly fishing. I love casting dries and stripping streamers but when I need to get things done I generally dig out the nymph box. ...

Nice fish Marcel. Finding fish in that skinny water must be fun. I always enjoy reading your reports. Keep them coming.

flyby,

Probably going to want to fish tailwaters right now. Things are pretty high with all the runoff we are getting. The Blue River is about an hour and a half away from Loisville. There are alot ...

I have a chocolate lab that is just over a year and I brought him with me since I got him at 8 weeks. He is a great fishing buddy, while I am doing my thing he is usually sniffing around on t ...

Very exciting stuff..I cannot wait to get some more railriders gear. My neighbor CC, who lives in these clothes, has nothing but great things to say about their clothing line. I have had the opportuni ...

Mothers Day Caddis hatch on the Eagle River in CO. Pretty killer stuff.

Nice pics you got into them big time. looks like a blast. The last couple shots with the sunset or sunrise in the background is un-real. Congrats on those trophies.

I am with kory on the 20% just as he pointed out we have to pay for our boat, insurance, gas, flies, tippet, rods, reels etc. All of this gear gets beat to hell by your clients. Our trips include all ...

I would like to catch at least one of the following in 2009-

Atlantic Salmon

Rooster Fish

Silver Salmon (fresh)

Yellow Fin Tuna

Bonefish

Kinda a long list but if I can get one done ...

as far as gear goes I dont think any big purchases are necessary right now. Obviously I'll by some flies, tippett and all the every day things that a fly fisherman uses, But i will save my coin until ...

I think it all depends on what you are using the rod for. If you are a trout fisherman looking for a decent rod to cast dries with I think any low to mid priced rod will do the trick. I use low to mid ...

The blue river runs through breck into dillion res. Bellow dilling res (in silverthorne) there are some big bows an browns. Bring some egg patterns and mysis shrimp if you hit that. The water is super ...

Try some Mysis shrimp through town and I would also have some egg patterns for the rainbows should be starting their spawn. The section of the Blue River that runs through town sees alot of pressure a ...

nice description jeremy..I enjoy nymphing for the fact that it is a very effective way to catch fish. but it amazes me how it can go from very productive to nada once a hatch starts. For example yeste ...

Good stuff boz Here are a few that i alway tell people when we are float fishing.

- always wear sunglasses the last thing you want is a hook in the eye
- fish on the same side of the boat to avoid ...

I am not much of a tier but I do like to tie my own midges and steelhead flies (easy stuff). I have an old school vise that is not much of anything but it works for what I do. I would suggest getting ...

Clothing is a little general but the new quick drying shirts and pants are great for sumer fly fishing and people who live in the south. They give you great protection from the sun and keep you cool o ...

I was giving this some though today and wondered if anyone has tried it? It seems to me that nymphing for salt water species would work if approached properly. I have seen folks casting into inlets an ...

I have been rolling with the sony cybershots for quite awhile and think they are a good point and shoot. My buddy jason has the underwater olympus and it takes terrible video....it might just be his s ...

I would visit the areas that you would like to go and see which geographic spot suits you. You mentioned WA and from my experience up there I wish I would have gone to school there. Beautiful area, I ...

These pants are the best wet wade, underwader, casual, sun protecting pant ever. i bought these towards the end of the summer and was angry that I did not buy them earlier in the year. After purchasin ...

I considered doing the same thing, buying a switch or a spey rod and decided on a 10' 7wt. To be totally honest it is very difficult to cast all day. The rod has an extended butt section so i ...

I am very very novice when it comes to the world of spey fishing and am anxious to learn more about what type of equipment to use. There is an old time spey fisherman that I have shared stories with ...

I have yet to cast a Helios....but I have heard very good things. The shop that I guide out of is an Orvis shop and many of the guys have Helios Rods and love them. Very light weight and can throw alo ...

I am on my second pair of simms boots and think they are pretty nice. I had the older pair of aquastealths for about a year and a half and the leather on them just started to shink and made ...

I am headed out to San Francisco in a week to see a friend of mine. I have heard that the striper fishing is really good right now. I am going to check it out and will report back.

Marshall we'll definately have to hit the water. I am going to try and fish more this year when I make it down. I usually get suckered into working with the old man the whole time I am there. Although ...
