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 going to be a mild day out there today, albeit rainy. If you have a chance, it might be worth trying to get out! (But heads up on the winter weather coming tonight and tomorrow morning!)

But first, grab your coffee, pull up a chair, take a break, and check out this week’s Friday Five.

Just a few of my favorite ornaments on the tree: a carp, Father Christmas, and a jumping trout.

Did you ever finish that Christmas shopping? Congratulations – we knew you could do it! If you need some last minute gifts, your local fly shop is always a great place to check out (our are TCO State College, Flyfisher’s Paradise, and The Feathered Hook if you’re near Coburn). This week we have some podcasts, two tying videos, and some tips on how to choose nymphs.

Enjoy the selection this week, and have a Merry Christmas and happy holiday season!

Snow arrived yesterday and gave us a foretaste of a white Christmas. The temps have been cold, but it’s good to be living in a place where you can fish year-round. This morning is another cold one here in central Pennsylvania, which makes grabbing that hot cup of coffee all the more enjoyable.

We have a video and four articles for you today, ranging from the growing number of women in fly fishing (which is great!) to cleaning your tying desk to treating hypothermia. Enjoy!

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!
