RiverKeeper Flies Outtakes

I hope you get a chuckle from a few RiverKeeper Flies outtakes. How many times have you tried to take a grip and grin picture and the fish explodes at exactly the moment you press the shutter release? This quick release happens more times than I care to admit! I’ve included a few moving water and fish images as well. At the end of today’s post, I share the latest fly tying video from my YouTube channel.

    A Grey Hackle Peacock is this week’s Throw Back Thursday fly. An old one I found in one of my vintage fly wallets. Notice the leader tied into the fly. We don’t tie them like that anymore. Like I said – OLD. A wet fly originated in the 1700’s. Have any in your fly box?

This should bring back some of the same memories…a couple of Herter’s Fly Tying books from the 1960’s. My…
