Best looking Warthog I have ever seen! Great tie Hans. Larry ---sagefisher---

My 2 cents worth, meaning it isn't worth much, but............I prefer a dead drift approach. Let's face it, the river itself will be adding a lot of action to the fly. The choppy surface water, the...

Some of the smaller rivers and streams are closed to all fishing until the late May opening to allow the Rainbows and Cutthroats to spawn and not be disturbed. By late May that is all over with and...

Yes there are signs on either side of the river and usually huge cut lines that indicate the border as well as a fire break. However, now days with all the eaxtra security there may even be far more...

John, He didn't say but he fishes the Methow; the Columbia River and the Yakima River in eastern WA a lot and they have some big fish. I personally have caught some really large bows and browns on...

Byron. That area is totally different from where I fish the Missouri. They must have been near the headwaters of the Missouri. I fish it from Holter Dam (Craig or Wolf Creek, MT) down to Cascade,...

Byron, I am heading that way the last week of June. The flow still looks good, especially when looking at how some of the other rivers are doing. Just got off the phone with a fly fisher who fished...

I prefer a fast action rod for nymphing, and on the larger western rivers I use a 6 weight 11 foot rod. The faster action allows for a quicker pickup and cast and you do not want to do much casting...

Yep, got spell check, heck, like I eever misspells antything. :) Larry ---sagefisher---

I have the same problem. A glitch in the system. Larry ---sagefisher---

Streamers, various colors to find the 'One' they want. Streamers from 2 inches to around 4+ inches. Depending upon what type of water you are going to fish, sink tip lines to floating lines, about 4...

lastchance, I am not from the area. I mostly fish for trout, but I also really enjoy catching Smallmouth Bass. They can really be a blast. Give them a try. Larry ---sagefisher---

With fly rod in hand :) and if the bottom of the stream allowed you to walk on it without sinking down in the muck, I would fish this walking upstream, short casts to allow max control of the line...

The snowpack is looking decent for this year, but they just had an early runoff over in the western area of Montana, blew out many of the rivers, including the rivers I was fishing. But it is cooling...

You mean there are fish in South Dakota? ;)

I am out there on the water to have fun. I know I will not catch all the fish in the river so it does not bother me if others are catching fish as well, I am happy for them. When my guide and I are...

I just mowed my lawn for the first time this year, guess spring is 'spruning'. :)

Dave,

In the navy we called that a 'Drop Check'. :)

Kevin,

Normally I won't dispute someone else's statement, but when it comes to legal matters and the possibility of violating a law, I feel I must respond.

Wyoming treapass laws are very...

Wyoming has some very strict trespass laws when it comes to who owns the river bed. Some places you can wade some places you can not. Check with a local fly shop, you don't want to get arrested for...

Thanks DUB, Happy St. Patty's Day to you too.

While many of my flies have ended up like the one in your photo (nice fly by the way) I have never thought of using my tree and brush loving flies as...

I only have the 1956 edition. How does that differ from the 1938 first edition?

Mike,

One of the main answers to your question is all about you----Do the required rehab and do it faithfully. If it hurts, too bad, do it. The pain will eventually stop and you should have great...

Brad,

Hope you have a good time at the show this weekend. Say Hi to David Humphries of River Traditions for me. I just ordered a number of fly boxes from him.
