The next stop on our fly fishing road trip is fly fishing the Madison River in July 2023. We’ve fished the Madison a little over a week now. It’s a favorite river of ours and you’ll see why below! We arrived on the Madison River on the evening of July 7 after spending a few…
This week’s post is about our 2023 fly fishing the Henry’s Fork of the Snake River.
Eddies are one of my favorite places to fish. I’ve caught some nice fish in eddies. It would be difficult to determine what my favorite water to fish is, whether it’s eddies, runs, boulders, or tail outs. I think the answer is WATER. But I always fish an eddy. The image above is a small…
It won’t be long and we’ll be on our 2023 fly fishing road trip. I’ve been looking forward to it. I’m checking fly boxes for our Montana fly fishing trip and pulled out the provider boxes to make sure we had enough flies for the expected hatches on the waters we fish. Sure, we have…
Here are this week’s images from the water. While waiting for fish to rise, I have plenty of time to look around and find subjects to capture. I hope you enjoy the images below. I love to capture Mayfly spinners with my camera. If you are observant, you might find them on the streamside vegetation….
It’s that time of year when I spend more time fly fishing and fewer flies from the vise are tied. The official start of summer is tomorrow. I’ve been on the water more days than not, looking for hatching insects and rising fish. In fact, I finished my last customer order last night, several Beetle…
Our next fly fishing road trip is only a few weeks away and I need to begin getting our road trip flies ready for a several weeks of fishing. I’ve had a few RiverKeeper Flies regulars ask when we plan to leave on our next fly fishing road trip and whether we will return and…
Last week, I was fly fishing the Lower Deschutes River with my friend Eric. This has been mostly an annual event for the several years and it’s something I look forward to. The image above is Eric’s reaction when the fish decided he’d had enough pictures! We launch at the Warm Springs boat ramp and…
I was having an email conversation recently with a friend of mine where he asked do larger fish key on Mayfly cripple fly patterns or standard dry flies. It got me thinking about the flies I use to imitate these insects during a Mayfly hatch. Here is a part of our discussion… “What is your…
It’s really been hit or miss on the river as of late. The warm weather has played havoc with the river levels, producing daily changes of 100 to 200 cubic feet per second (cfs). Much of the time, I expect the river to be between 1300 and 1400 cfs, but it’s been bouncing in the…
