I can’t believe this is the last Throw Back Thursday Fly post for 2020. It’s the last Thursday of the year and I thought it was appropriate to share a few of my favorite Throw Back Thursday Flies for 2020.

Fall is definitely in the air and the river is showing it’s colors the last few weeks. And fall colors are always spectacular. Whether it’s fishing for steelhead… …or along my home river. It’s a great time of year to stop and appreciate the view as you’re waiting for a hatch to begin and fish rise. And…
I’m anxious for some good dry fly fishing. How about you? I was on the river the other day waiting for insects to hatch and find a fish or two rising to them. It never happened, but as I changed flies, I looked in my fly box and thought it was time for some fly…
