Here is another Recent Updates post to highlight additions you may have missed.

I’ve added an About Me page.

Added a few new Fly Patterns:

Updated the Resources tab with the following items:

  • Added 2 more books to the Favorite Fly Fishing and Fly Tying Books section.
    • Barr Flies by John Barr
    • Steelhead Flies by John Shewey
  • Because of a comment from Bob in my Fly Fishing Knots blog post, I decided to try the Davy knot. It’s a simple knot to tie once you get the hang of it…like anything. Seems to hold tight when fighting fish. I’ve added to my Fishing Knots section.

If you are on Facebook, check out and LIKE my RiverKeeper Flies page. I’ve continued my â€śThrow Back Thursday” weekly post of older flies that were popular years ago and sometimes, but not always forgotten. The Skunk and Elk Hair Caddis were the last two flies posted.
