    How Long to Fish a Fly Before Changing Flies

    October 4, 2022October 4, 2022

    I was watching the river last week, waiting for bugs to hatch and fish rise and began thinking about this week’s post. What topic should I write about? I finally noticed a couple of subtle rings from trout sipping insects. I wonder what they were eating? I tied on a dry fly that didn’t work…

    Early Hatching Insects Live Longer

    September 6, 2022September 6, 2022

    Have you ever waited with anticipation for a hatch to begin and see the first few Mayflies or Salmonflies float down the river without a fish eating it? If I were an aquatic insect, I’d choose to be one of the first bugs to hatch. Why do you ask? Because I’d have a greater likelihood…

    Olive Bloa

    August 31, 2022August 31, 2022

    This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the Olive Bloa. I found the fly pattern in Edmunds and Lee Brook and River Trouting (1916) on page 20. Click on the link for a FREE download. It’s one of my favorite classic books for the history of fly tying and fly fishing the old English flies….

    Return to Our Home Waters, the Metolius

    August 30, 2022August 30, 2022

    Lessons Learned from Fly Fishing the Madison River

    August 2, 2022August 2, 2022

    We’re in our third week of fly fishing the Madison River. If you had asked me a few weeks ago if I thought we would be here this long, my answer would have been no. I’m sure you have experienced the heat wave. Our plan was to head West and fish the Beaverhead, Big Hole,…

    Second Week Fly Fishing the Madison River

    July 26, 2022July 25, 2022

These included an X Caddis, Iris Caddis, and Parachute Caddis. In fact, this 21″ plus Brown Trout ate a size 16 Parachute Caddis as…
