Great weather. Catching was difficult.On the 7th, I caught Green Sunfish, Bluegills, and a couple Bowfin, along with losing a few Shortnose and Spotted Gar.https://s1.gifyu.com/images/S1BFD.jpgOn...

WOW! That's pretty cool! Imagine how fast the bird had to be to snatch an artificial fly sailing thru the air during a cast!I once landed a Cliff Swallow that got wrapped in my line during a...

Such a great fly you developed, Rick! For years, it was my go-to fly! The purple made a decent fly for fishing for carp under ripe mulberry trees. The light gray... caught my biggest grass carp...

Thanks fellas! :)They are a lotta fun, aren't they? Just look at the size of that tail!! I landed 2... a 3rd one ran down the creek and got me snagged up on something. It didn't feel like a fish...

Got out on Monday for the first flyfishing of September. Beautiful day, not too hot. Breezier than expected at times. Stepped on a nail that buried into my shoe, but somehow didn't reach my foot. ...

Right on! As it cools, crappies and bass seem more willing to play. Usually caught more big bass in the Fall... all the way until ice-up. A bit larger microjig and indicator for the win!
