This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is Lawson’s E-Z Caddis, developed by Mike Lawson from Last Chance, ID.

Another year has come and gone. For many, it’s a time of reflection and celebration of year end. Seems like an appropriate time to reflect about all I’ve done on my website this year. I started the RiverKeeper Flies blog as a way to combine my passion of fly fishing & fly tying with an ability to…
The 2018 NW Fly Tying & Fly Fishing Expo is one month away. You might recall I was the Expo Chair in 2015 & 2016, as well as the Treasurer for 4 1/2 years. I decided to step away from the Expo Committee last year and now answer a question or two in my adviser role….
