I will be at the International Fly Tying Symposium this weekend, offering a class in tying with spinning loops, demonstrating tying tactics, and presenting programs on fly fishing, including the new program on “Fishing the Film.” Our new book, Fishing the Film will be available and I’ll be happy to inscribe copies. For more info […]
My old friend and tarpon maniac Lee Haskin was in Belize, and has sent this report. Seems he had a rather good time and got to prove his tying efforts yet again: Back from Belize. What a great trip. Bad weather most of the week, but plenty of tarpon and permit! The bait was VERY small, and […]
Holy Cow! Have a look at the size of this tiger that Jeff caught in Africa while filming with Confluence Films. He says: Our fishing and filming in Africa these past two weeks far surpassed our expectations! Wait till you see this Confluence Film segment on the big screen! There are no words to describe it. Check out some […]
Yesterday was the last day in a series of warmer that normal days for November in Wisconsin, and John Beth, Doc Zavadsky and I met on one of our favorite Wisconsin tributary streams to search for browns. I was up at 3am, on the road by 4am and casting by 6:30am. Right away I had […]
I mentioned this in an earlier post, but wanted to show it in photos to make clear what I was discussing. This is a tactic that my friend, Dr. Gary Eaton, uses when fishing minnow imitations on the spring creeks of Missouri and other streams with a gravel bottom. The shot is attached to the […]
This is a note from my fishing friend, John Beth, who was chasing trout and salmon last week. I found a few coho when we first got there, and went 3 for 4. But they were nowhere to be found by early afternoon. There was, however, an abundance of kings. Every area that we normally […]
The day after the Old Pueblo TU Seminar was Halloween, and Mike Mehrer and I headed south to fish for bass. The following story from that day’s fishing will appear in two of our forthcoming books: Really Matching the Hatch II, and Stillwaters. The story will change slightly to emphasize that aspect discussed by each […]
Thanks to the Old Pueblo TU Chapter for inviting me to participate in their Halloween On The Fly Seminar day. Mike Mehrer and his wife Julia hosted me for the weekend, and we stayed up too late a couple of nights talking. However, the Seminar Day went just great. We had a casting class from […]
I’m off tomorrow for Tucson to speak to the annual Halloween on the Fly program put on by the Old Pubelo TU chapter. Looks like it will be a fun time for all. If you nearby, come on over and enjoy the day’s activities with us.
I’ve been away from the office this last week, sadly because of a funeral. But upon my return I noted an email from my friends Jeff Currier. In part he notes: I’m headed to Tanzania as the angler for the latest Confluence Films project. Confluence Films has produced two popular fly fishing movies, Drift and Rise. We are filming […]
