OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

Ron and Vickie Eagle Elk just had a wedding anniversary. Can you guess what they both wanted to do?

TYING TIPS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

Tom throws out the rule book on what materials should be used for specific types of flies. What he comes up with is 9 patters (WITH PICS) to give a try, and a request for you to think out of the box.

A NECESSARY PASSION

You say passion, I say obsession...(did I say that out loud?)

Neil talks about what it takes to be consumed by the sport, and the lengths some will go to to get out on the water.

HOMEWORK – PLAN A

Just like being back in school, those that do their homework get much better perfomance. Dee reminds us that the best prepared anglers have the most fun at the end of the day.

ONE SMALL AREA

A hike in and a camera left at home can only lead one to quote the author.. "I might not be very bright, but I wanted to fish in this pond."

Sometimes you just don't have to work hard at coming up with the synopsis. THANKS RICK!

HENRYVILLE SPECIAL

The fly known as the Henryville Special was first tied by Hiram Brobst, an old-time Pocono fly tier from LeHighton Pa. The fly was developed to be use for a caddis imitation on the fast boiling pocket water of the Pocono Mountains.

SAGE BASS RODS REVIEW

Craig Smith (Tailingloop) reviews the Sage BASS rods.

FLY OF THE WEEK - EPOXY AND MINK BAITFISH SBS

Our fly of the week is from sunny South Africa this time around.

You can fish this fly like any other baitfish imitations. I would normally fish the fly on a floating line when I see fish chasing smaller baitfish on the surface. You can experiment with various retrieves from fast to very erratic strip retrieves.

THE BEST OF THE BEST

Richard A. Taylor recounts fishing with his father-in-law. A great read that goes far to show how sharing a sport with family has a lasting effect.

NEW LIFT TO OLD FLIES

Tom Deschaine has brought us some great flies in the past. This time around he shares with us a tip on how to rejuvinate some of our older flies that may need a little help.
