Jim, have a most excellent day!

Happy, happy Birthday girl. Fish on!

Kelly.

Thanks all! I will try to participate more. The spring creek has been good to us for the last year or so, and I'll post some reports and photos when I can. I lost my two best fishing buddies this...

Thanks, Scott. Too many good friends here to stay away for too long. Thanks for the welcome, it's because of fellow FAOLr's like yourself that I started coming here in the first place.

Kelly.

Stellar as always, Curtis.

Kelly.

Char, as most will attest, I have not been here for a while either. My reasons differ greatly, but, this is a great reason to at least show up and welcome you back and wish you well. You've been...

Serious, John. You're having a problem with my making a point about Bob making a fantastic cast in very strong "crosswinds" because I used the term "gale-forced"? Geez...

Speaking of tearing...

Bob is a class act and a good friend. When I lived in West Yellowstone a lot of years ago I was Bob's banker and he still calls me "The Banker". my first outing with Bob was over twenty years ago...

Thanks, all! It has been a tough couple of years, but friends like you here at FAOL make it bearable. Thanks for the support. I hope you're all getting on the water and making your fishing dreams...

Congrats, buddy! What a great milestone. My wife and I celebrate 29 this weekend.

Thanks, FG. I've missed you all too. By-the-way - Happy Birthday, sorry I missed it.

Thanks, Scott. The ankle is doing well, or should I say as well as it will ever do at this point. I'm fishing and tying flies and writing so it's all good.

The Henry's Fork Foundation will be holding their annual event on June 16, the day the Railroad Ranch stretch of the river opens to fishing.

I will be tying that day at the event and it appears...

I can't let this one pass. 1984, while living in West Yellowstone, my wife secured for me a "kit" of fly tying supplies put together by Jackie Matthews at Blue Ribbon Flies. We moved back to Utah...

I agree that parasols are not for everyone, but they offer just another option that may appeal to the fussy fish in front of you. I wrote an article a while back for Flyfishing & Tying Journal...

I had a great time, met a lot of wonderful people and one of my highlights was meeting and watching Marv Taylor tie his favorite patterns. If you don't know of Marv, he is an Idaho legend and...

As will I. I'm tying Friday (tomorrow) from 8-4:30 and then conducting a fly tying and tactics workshop on fishing spring creeks on Saturday afternoon. Hope all who can will stop by and say "HI".

ol' blue, just logged on after a long while and saw your post and checked out the picture. Not mine as you said, but a very nice picture. Well done.

Kelly.

Yes. In between the big tunnel on the west and the newer power plant to the east, against the dam is some slack water that eddies back towards the power plant and when those caddis start hitting the...

Byron, nice tie. I'm assuming it's a size 14 +/-? I would trim the bottom hackle so this fly rides right in the surface film as that is how the naturals look when dropping those eggs in the...

Thanks for the nod, Scott. I love the halfback emerger with foam for the shellback.

Here is a picture:

Fished deep, under an indicator. Size 14 DaiRiki 125 hook. ...

Thanks all. The ankle problem has been around since a summer trip I took in 2009 to one of the streams I wrote about in the Flyfishing & Tying Journal article. I failed to take my wading/hiking...

Thanks, Beaver. This one was definitely a labor of love as the streams I wrote about are pretty special. My son took all the photos with the exception of the fly pics. My first trip to one of...

Here is my favorite place - No-Tellum spring creek, Idaho:
