We fished a total of 10 waters during our 29 day 3,233 mile trip. I didn’t write about all the places we fished, so this week’s post will be wrapping up our fly fishing road trip. If you missed it, here are the waters I wrote about: In addition to those rivers, we also fished…
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is Mike Lawson’s EZ Caddis. Lawson’s EZ Caddis is an offshoot of his Spent Partridge Caddis he created over 40 years ago. The reason is fairly simple how the fly came about…old age. Yup, as Mike got older it was more difficult for him to pick up the fly….
Fly fishing the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River was the last stop on our fly fishing road trip. We only fished an afternoon, evening and the following morning. Even though it was a quick stop, it certainly was memorable. I’ve only fished the Henry’s Fork a handful of times and still consider myself a…
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the North Fork Special. I found this fly when visiting North Fork Anglers in Cody, WY while fly fishing the North Fork Shoshone River. I’d heard about the North Fork Special from watching Trout TV a few years ago. Tim Wade is the owner of North Fork Anglers….
The next stop on our fly fishing road trip is the North Fork Shoshone, WY. Why the NF Shoshone? We’ve heard from a variety of people about how overlooked this river is because it is so close to Yellowstone and most fly fishers fish in the Park. And we see some large trout pictures on…
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the Purple Haze TBT. A customer asked me to tie up a dozen Purple Haze flies for him and I needed a fly for this week’s TBT post. I thought it was perfect timing! This is my variation of the original. A quick Google search provided some information…
The next stop on our fly fishing road trip is fishing the Boulder and Stillwater rivers. On one of our stops, someone recommended very highly we give the Boulder River a try. We told him we were headed east to the Stillwater River, but he was adamant we should make the effort and fish the…
This week’s Throw Back Thursday post is about dye materials at Blue Ribbon Flies. My wife and I stopped at Blue Ribbon Flies back in July during our first trip this year to the Madison River. I almost always stop in at Blue Ribbon Flies to pick up a couple items. This year, it was…
We’re at the end of our second trip fly fishing the Madison River this year. I’ve always said that no two days on the river are the same. That saying also is applicable to the fishing we’ve experienced this week on the Madison. Last year, we had spectacular fishing with ants on the Madison in…
My subscribers are expecting a Throw Back Thursday post today, but I decided to provide a “bonus” post instead. We’re on another fly fishing road trip and headed to Montana. My last post stated the next spot we planned to fish was the Madison River. But…I always am open to a “plan B”. Well, fly…
