"No fly rod at any price is going to magically transform you into a Lefty Kreh or a Joan Wulff any more than a Stradivarius is going to turn your middle school violin student into Itzhak Perlman. And make no mistake: Itzhak Perlman could pick up a yard sale fiddle and extract soulful Tchaikovsky from it". - George Roberts, Tail Fly Fishing Magazine
Fly tying carried me through the summer. As I've said to many that I've guided if I couldn't fly fish any longer I'd still tie flies!!
Merry Christmas, or whatever Holiday you celebrate, and have a very good New Year!!

Ken, Merry Christmas to you and don't ever forget that despite a not so great fishing season YOU continue to bring a gift to your blog readers and we love you even when you you're not catching fish!! PS not to pour salt into your wound but I had the best ever salt water season down here in Rhode Island. Happy New Year too. Dave
Merry Christmas, Ken.
And the same to you, Steve!
Dave,
No salt in these wounds. I like it when readers catch fish. I'll solve that problem next Spring.

Happy Holidays Ken and to everyone on this blog. Let’s hope for more water in 2023 and health and happiness for all!

A lifetime ago when I lived to ride my Harley I hated rain in the summer, these days not so much. Like you tying flies will get me through the next 3 months of dark, artic days.
Merry Christmas to you Sir!

Merry Christmas, Ken...and everyone else who participates on this blog.
I always learn something every time I read it, and I read it every time it's posted.
Not many fish came to my net this year, but there was one day right after a rain that the Millers rose to 300+ and remembering my long ago largemouth days in the Carolinas, I told my wife that I was going to run out to Kempfield and see if the smallies were active. The river was boiling with them, and I took 13 in 50 minutes. Non-stop fun.
Best wishes for better trout fly fishing waters in 2023.

Charles,
Thank you and have a Happy Holiday season.

Merry Christmas to all! BTW I've been meaning to ask for years about your main photo showing you netting a trout. Is that on the East Branch across from the gate?
Anonymous,
That photo was taken on the EB on the Bliss Pool which is just across from the "entering Bliss State Forest" sign. A great place.
Merry Christmas!!

Ken, wishing you a belated Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2023. I have not been able to fish since early November so I appreciate reading your posts as well of those from your readers. Over the years I have appreciated what I have learned on your site which has helped me with my fishing.
Regards, Sam
Sam,
