THE FLY PAGE And Spring Is Right Around The Corner

Well, I decided to "formalize" my fly selling effort and dedicate a whole page(s) to the endeavor instead of the current scatter gun approach and having the flies share space with other blog related things.  Welcome to the FLY PAGE!!!

Follow these easy instructions:

1. go to my current blog post

2. Directly across and to the right of the current blog title you will see a tab labeled "The Fly Page".  Click that tab.

You will then be able to scroll up and down through an expanded offering of flies all accompanied by much better photos.  I've expanded the selection to include larger wets and flymphs for our bigger freestones and this section will continue to expand.  Paypal takes care of everything.

So, dig in and restock your fly boxes.  We will be fishing soon enough.

It starts in February

Spring that is!!  Since 12/21/19 we have gained over an hour of precious daylight.  And even though February has always been a snowy month it is the month where the sap lines (it used to be buckets) begin to flow.  Pretty soon you will find a little black stone fly or three by any open flowing water.  There's no stopping the change in seasons!!!

The Bread Crust - It always works

                                                                             
The late Polly Rosborough invented this caddis/mayfly imitation to be fish wet.  He also made it a devil to tie. Try splitting partridge tail feathers in the "red stage".  I eliminated the partridge and made a lucky substitution last year and it worked fine.

Also notice the fine, soft, blue dun hackle on these flies.  It comes from the cheapest  grade C (or worst) roster hackles I can find.  Not as soft as partridge or starling but getting close.  Plus I'm a sucker blue dun hackles.

I'm starting to book up trips.  Don't be late.
