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…
I’ve spent time at the vise lately and finished an order of 96 dry flies for a customer and thought I’d share a few images of the flies. The first two are Klinkhamer and Quigley style flies. I enjoy tying these flies with turkey biot furled bodies. Both of these flies are size 20, a…
After spending a week at Casa de Campo, our next stop was fly fishing at Trocoman house with SET Fly Fishing. It wasn’t the original plan…we were scheduled to stay at Rakin Lodge (although we know it as Codihue), a new SET lodge approximately two hours away by car. We were looking forward to fly…
Our last two days at Casa de Campo found us fly fishing the Rio Alumine with SET Fly Fishing. This is a float section where SET provides a wonderful camping experience for their guests. But first, I wanted to share links to the last couple of posts for my subscribers. It turns out my Mailchimp…
A couple of weeks ago was a milestone for me. Know why? RiverKeeper Flies turned 11 years old on March 5! That’s right, I’ve been at the keyboard writing these posts for 11 years. It’s hard for me to believe where my journey has taken me. It may be difficult to see, but this is an image…
We spent our next 2 days in Argentina fly fishing the Rio Malalco with SET Fly Fishing, another river in Lanin National Park.

Our second day at Casa de Campo Lodge found us fly fishing the Rio Calfiquitra with SET Fly Fishing. I hope you were able to read last week’s Fish Hunting at Casa de Campo post and our first day fishing in Argentina. Our destination today was Lanin National Park. On the way to Rio Calfiquitra,…
March is finally here and for the fly fisher it’s probably the first major hatch of the season. Are you ready for March Brown mayflies to begin hatching on your local river? For me, this is the first hatch I really look forward to. Give me a Sparkle Dun March Brown and Pheasant Tail Soft…
Did you notice the word “fishing” wasn’t included in the title? Our second week of in Patagonia found us fish hunting at Casa de Campo with SET Fly Fishing. It was our third year with SET Fly Fishing and we were looking for options where we could mainly walk and wade fish. SET has several…
I hope you were able to read last week’s post about my fly tying activity. It’s fly tying season for me as I just completed the first of several orders. In addition to last week’s Zoom class I taught for my Central Oregon Fly Tyer’s Guild, I’ll be teaching again this week on another Zoom…
