It’s hard to believe we’re at the last day of July already. Where did the past month go? There has been some good time at the vice in the past month tying some regular patterns to fill an order and getting to do some experimenting with new patterns (new to me and ones I haven’t tied before).

Friday Five: 7/28/2017
Here we are at the last Friday of July – hard to believe! We have a good mix of articles and videos today for you to enjoy, ranging from fly patterns to a dry fly-sipping rainbow trout. Have at it!
From the Vice: May-June 2017
Over the past two months I’ve had some time here and there to do some experimenting with different fly patterns amidst the normal tying. No originality is claimed on any of these, since they’re all based (to varying degrees) on existing patterns. It’s always good to experiment!

Things Worth Reading: 3/10/2017
We woke up to a few inches of snow in State College this morning (this after a day of sun with temperatures in the upper 50s). Oh well. More snow means more water for the streams!
Anyway, here’s this week’s roundup of articles and videos that are worth checking out. Enjoy!
A Shot of Spring
We’ve been having some unseasonably warm weather this month, especially the past few days. By “unseasonably warm” we mean that yesterday, February 24, was in the 70s. The day before was in the 60s. That kind of warm.
