WED YOURSELF TO UGLY FLIES

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. So remember the next time you are fishing that the fish might not be so enamored with that perfect fly of yours.

CALL OF THE CATSKILLS

"With two years of planning, studying maps, writing Chamber of Commerce’s, reading books, internet articles and calling fly shops --- the TRIP WAS ON! Two weeks in the Catskills. A dream comes true! If I drive straight through, one day out, one day back; that leaves me 12 days to fish." - Tom Deschaine

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?

"You don’t have to be a genius to be a fly fisher, but you do have to think. Observation and application will trump equipment and even technical ability. " - Neil Travis

MORE MONTANA

Dee talks more about her beloved home. About the people moving to Montana, and what they might expect.

CAREFUL & SAFE WADING

"Unless you have a burning desire to spend a great deal of time studying the trout in its UNDERWATER world, I suggest you practice careful and safe wading techniques." - Tom Travis

ANOTHER TRY

Just because you are gunshy doesn't mean you get to forget the "little" things. We'll mark this up to scenting the water to increase the fishhead count. (and yes a camera WOULD be nice Rick --Ron--)

THE WHITE MILLER

"I was quite surprised not to find this one in the archives. When I think of the wet flies of my youth, of the 1960s, I think of this fly almost immediately along with the Parmachene Belle. It was popular then, it was popular in the 1920s, and it was popular in the late 1800s. It's popular now in certain circles. I think this one has been with us in this country from the very beginning." - Eric Austin

ENTER THE DARK SIDE

Ok so it's Ron's turn to start contributing a story or so. What can I say... I'm doomed...

THE PERFECT STEAK

Steven H. McGarthwaite gives us insight on how to cook that perfect steak. Including how to season the steak. A sure fire crowd pleaser.
