Happy holidays to my fly fishing and fly tying friends!
My wish for you in the new year is to be healthy and chase as many fish as possible.
Enjoy…go fish!

Rio Grande King
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is the Rio Grande King, another fly from the Ray Bergman collection. I haven’t posted a Ray Bergman fly for awhile, so I thought it was high time I tied another classic wet fly pattern. For some reason, I just like the elegance and simplicity of a Bergman wet…
Bull Trout and Broken Rod
I’ve been known to say if you break a rod, you’ll have a hell of a story. Here is my story of a Bull Trout and broken rod that happened recently. But I’m getting ahead of myself. Let me start at the beginning. The dog days of summer are definitely here as the heat wave…
Denny’s A.P. Emerger TBT
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is Denny’s A.P. Emerger TBT. I first learned about the fly from Denny’s book entitled Fly-Fishing Stillwaters for Trophy Trout (1997).

In the book, Al relayed his story about Gary’s underwater research and how he observed adult midges crawling underwater to lay their eggs. Trout…

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…
Gray Hackle Peacock
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?
Merry Christmas to you both from The Beattys.
