It’s starting to get cold. Really cold. But that’s okay, because it’s November. There’s nothing wrong with that at all!
We have a good lineup for you today, ranging from tips on selecting fly line, tying your own leaders, wild edibles, beads on nymphs, and an entertaining video to close it out. Grab your coffee, pull up a chair, and enjoy!
About 5 years ago, I was out at a spot on Spring Creek throwing a size 4 Weamer Streamer without really knowing much about fishing streamers (other than dead-drifting, swinging them down-and-across, and stripping a bit). The water was up and off-color, the weather was rainy, and on the first cast in a new spot I missed one of the biggest browns I’ve seen on Spring. The fly hit the water and a split second later this large fish porpoised (I could see the entire back of the fish) going after the fly.
Naturally, I did what any fisherman with buck fever would do: promptly pulled the fly right out of the mouth of this brown then stared at the water where it came from, slack-jawed.
The past few Fridays have felt like fall, but all of a sudden we get a week of temperatures in the upper 70s and low 80s… Oh well. It makes for a beautiful Indian Summer! Next week it’s supposed to start cooling down again, since we’ve hit the official shift to fall.
Speaking of fall, it’s time to start thinking about fall fishing. Be on the lookout next week for an article on streamers big and small, and ways to fish them around here. Enjoy this week’s selection of goodies!
We have a good selection of articles and videos to kick off the month of August for the Friday Five. Since we featured a rainbow sipping dries last week, we start with a taimen chasing and eating a streamer, then move on to highlight some patterns for the summer and an article about lines drawn in fly fishing. Grab your cup of coffee and enjoy!
The coffee is poured, the selection for this week is ready, and it’s time for you to enjoy the show! This week features a video on the importance of fly shops, three articles, and a recipe (for something a little different).
Here’s your Friday Five for this week: two videos, two articles, and a podcast. Enjoy!
Need a short morning break? Grab your coffee and check out this week’s “Things Worth Reading.” We have three articles and three videos covering a wide variety of topics, from fish spotting to striper flies and lots of things in between. Enjoy!
