March has come in like a lion, just based on how the wind is blowing outside. The water is high, and if that’s your thing don’t be afraid to get out there! If it’s not, then stay inside, tie some flies, or organize the fly boxes. All of those ideas are covered in the selection that we have for you today. Grab your cup of coffee, pull up a chair, and enjoy!

Fly Tying Video Feature: General Nymphs
We’ve come to the final post in the Fly Tying Video Feature series! Thanks for tuning in. We hope that these posts have been giving you some good inspiration at the vice over the past two months. Our final post features some general nymph imitations that don’t imitate a specific insect, but imitate a variety of them.

Valentine’s day has passed, the weather has been taking a much more pleasant turn, and hints of spring are wafting around here and there. If you haven’t been out fishing yet, it might be time to get out today or over the weekend. In the meantime, enjoy this week’s selection with your favorite morning beverage!

It’s Friday! Time to pour yourself that coffee and enjoy the Friday Five. This week is a bit heavier on the videos – there will be more articles coming next week!
Speaking of videos, check out our Fly Tying Video Feature series, which we started this month. Each post is 4-5 patterns on a specific type of “fish food,” whether it’s hellgrammites, articulated streamers, or sulphurs (for example). We’ll be posting those on Mondays and/or Wednesdays over the winter to give you some ideas at the vice.

It’s a cold morning here in Central PA – like, wind chill of minus 20 degrees Farhenheit cold. It’s the perfect morning to pour yourself an extra large mug of coffee, grab your blanket, and check out this week’s Friday Five while thinking of slightly warmer temperatures.
(Don’t get me wrong, I don’t necessarily mind the cold. It’s just really cold for this time of the winter here.)

Tree stand coffee always tastes better.
Maybe you’re taking your coffee in the tree stand this morning, or maybe it’s in your usual comfortable chair at home. Either way, we have some good selections for you to enjoy this week. Pour yourself a full cup, sit back, and enjoy!*
*but if you’re in a tree stand or in the woods, enjoy the coffee and save this for later!

We’re under a week from Thanksgiving, which is the start of one of my favorite stretches of the year (between Thanksgiving, deer season, Christmas, New Year’s – so much good stuff!). By the time you’re reading next week’s edition you might still be in the tryptophan-induced stupor from eating turkey on Thanksgiving.
But for today, pour yourself a hot cup of coffee, grab a chair, and enjoy what we have for you this week!
