Well, well, well. The advance copy is a beauty to be sure. Our printers did a bang up job, but it wouldn’t have been much without Jason’s dedicated skill and pre-press efforts. There is still time to get your pre-publication price, postage and handling included. See the post below on Fishing the Film pre-orders.
The last two and one-half days have raced by. The third day of the trip, Duane and I explored more areas that we had not fished before, and re-worked areas that we had fished on days one and two. The fish were not super cooperative (when are they ever?), but we did manage 8 landed […]
As I was landing fish number three today, my cell phone rang. It was Nancy. The advanced copy of Fishing the Film arrived this morning. She says it is beautifully done. I’m really excited to see it for myself, but first, there are some more salmon that need to be taught about flies and fly […]
Our second day of the salmon trip dawned clear, and the pile jackets felt good against the cold of the early morning.

Duane Stremlau and I arrived at the river a little after noon and were met by our friend Lou Jirikowic. “You’re in luck,” he told us, the salmon are coming in heavy.” And so they were. There were older fish there, too; ones that had run in the week before. But as we stood fishing, […]

The kings have arrived, but in low numbers. None-the-less, I am headed out on Monday to see what the conditions are and catch a few of the wily rascals. Watch for post reprots this week.
I had a note from Captain Jake Jordan. He had just been through the huge rain and flooding in NC and finally got out to have a look for some fishing action. Here’s his report: Until about a week ago when the bad weather arrived, we had a great September of fly fishing, we caught hundreds of […]
I’m just back from an exploratory trip to Canada for lake trout. The trip was a success, providing not only a fun time but fodder for a story. This story, or versions thereof, will appear in three of our forthcoming books: Long Flies, The Angler as Predator, and Fly Designing. Watch for the elements of […]
From reader, Chris McCall: Gary, Which leader-to-tippet knot is the strongest, the Blood Knot or the Surgeon’s Knot (double or triple)? Are either of these knots as strong as the tippet-to-fly knot (I typically use the Clinch Knot)? It seems like whenever I get into a situation where I have to break off due to a […]
