The NW Fly Tyer & Fly Fishing Expo is this weekend at the Linn County Fairgrounds in Albany, OR. I’ll be tying each of the three days. Stop by and say “hi”. I’ll be watching many of the 72 concurrent tyers and catching up with friends I only see once a year. I always find something new – technique, material…wonder what it will be this year?

Stimulator
It’s Thursday again and this week’s TBT fly is the Stimulator. I first learned of this fly from Randall Kaufmann’s book Tying Dry Flies. Tied many flies from that book. This is an older fly I tied many years ago. I obtained the book in the early 90’s…so old is relative, I guess.
My September Fly Box
Can you believe it’s the first of September? Summer has really flown by for me! I look forward to fly fishing in September and October because the weather usually begins to cool and insect activity picks up. It’s time to check the flies in my September fly boxes to make sure I am ready for…
Juan’s Condor Nymph
This week’s Throw Back Thursday Fly is Juan’s Condor Nymph. OK, it might not be a true Throw Back Fly, bit it fits my theme of our recent trip to Argentina. Juan Carlos Carrera was one of our guides from SET Fly Fishing during our stay at Estancia Chochoy Mallin in NW Argentina. He pulled…

Thank You,
