Hopefully it won't be too high on the madison. Can't remember the exact year but about 10 years ago I went for a week and it was super high. Caught all my trout on black woolly buggers right next to...

I'm heading to the Madison the 2nd to the 9th July but I'm planning on flying out a couple days early and fishing a few other streams. Does anyone have any suggestions on what rivers I should try...

Well the fishing trip is over. Here is the tally. Only 7 small browns and 1 rainbow caught on the Little J. It was higher than usual and pretty muddy when I got there. Fished the Big J. for 5...

Ya I checked temps out for the last week yesterday. All above 70 during the day and some pushing 80. If I do wet a line it will be early morning or late at night. My 7 wt is gonna be getting some...

Will be fishing the Little J in and around the town of Baree, PA from the 21st to the 25th. Anyone know what kind of hatches to expect or tips on what flies to bring? Will be staying at the Greene...

Don't forget to use the "bighorn shuffle" method of catching large rainbows. Some people might look down on that but I've caught a lot of large trout doing that in the Big Horn.

I read on another flyfishing blog that the Governors brother in law own close to a mile and a half of the Green River. Hmmmm I wonder if that had anything to do with this descision.

A green weenie has always worked well for me. Chartreuse chenelle wrapped on the hook w/ a black bead head, possibly some lead wire.

When I was working in the Geothermal industry I often had weeks where I had to be at work but nothing to do. 12 hour days are pretty boring until you bring out your travel kit. Prob tied 50-70...

Hey Gemrod needed to give back for living w/ them rent free at the age of 25. I'm still gone 10 months out of the year working full time on offshore and inshore drilling rigs but it really helps me...

Thanks for the replies. I think my dad already went and got one. Eight Thumbs I think they are just giving back after getting them a $600 computer for Christmas.

My original Danvise broke after 8 years of faithful service and my parents want to get me the Renzetti Presentation 2000 vise for my birthday. Is this vice good or should I ask for something...

Those are some nice patterns planet trout. I work in Bakersfield 9-10 months out of the year and will have to head up to the Kern after looking in on your blog. Just so hard to travel w/ rods,...

Get a new job. One in which I don't have to work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Might be hard as I don't intend on taking a pay cut.

I don't get much time off of work so I would Imagine a couple day trips to places like Penn's Creek and the Little Juniata in PA. Also planning a week or two in Montana early or mid July.

Jim if you don't mind where are you catching all these huge bows? I've worked in Bakersfield/Taft for the past 3 years but have never gone trout fishing here. Thinking about heading to the Kern...

I've worked in Bakersfield for close to 2 1/2 years now off and on and have never fished the Kern even though it's right outside of town. I'll have to pack a rod next time I fly out. Nice looking...

Is it a chiton?

I've worked in Bakerfield for 2 1/2 years now but have never fished the Kern River even though I've driven along side it many times. I'll have to check it out now.

A couple weeks ago I was fishing the Madison and had a fish throw my hooks on the surface. They came screeching back at me, one hit my sunglasses and my dropper went completly through my upper lip. ...

Good luck. I just buy all of my furled leaders. 14 -20 bucks at feathercraft and they last for years. You should really try the North Fork of the Shoshone up near Cody. Not sure if your close or...

This happened to me just a few short weeks ago fishing the North Fork of the Shoshone River in Wy. After several hours of slow fishing in which I had caught one 5 in rainbow and approx 20-30...
