Friday Thoughts……..a random bit of fly fishing from my head.

Snow/Rain/Crap

So i am getting fed up with all this extra snow…….. lots of crap on the side of the road that looks like crap all brown and such from cars….and rain predicted for monday will melt all this snow away into our rivers and lakes….. so it looks like the rain in the forecast will wash away all this snow into our rivers and make them high again for like the 3rd fricking time this year….. but dont worry every story has a silver lining……. I have heard from a few sources including a few guides that the spring fishing will be on FIRE!!! good water levels all though the year and good fishing later in the season! The SNP will probably be fishing well later this year the normal… Good flows all year for floating rivers

Fly Tying…..

School Days get really long and i often find myself daydreaming about fly fishing and fly tying…. often times a new fly pattern gets written on the back of classwork or such…. I have been in the works of a new nymph pattern that originated on the back of some classwork in school. I have been experimenting with doing a dubbing loop which is a really cool technique if you have never tried it. I am a huge fan of woolly buggers with dubbing on them and now my go-to bugger is a dub-bug (my own version of a woolly bugger). If you there is still any doubt in your mind about attending the fly tying marathon it will be incredibly awesome! lunch will be provided and deserts!

Kayak Stuff

Have some fly rod holders coming in soon to put on the kayak for some summer smallmouth action on the fly from the yak! Been hard at work filling my new smallmouth fly box for the coming season……however i must say i am more stoked for the trout season!

Fly Fishing

Might go fly fishing on Sunday after the marathon but that is still in the works!

Some Pics from a smallie trip a few weeks ago

I have not been fishing in about a week and you all saw the last post from the 2-fly tourney. So i think i will post some pics from a previous smallie trip… Enjoy!!!

All Grassed in…. Fish were caught on a hopper pattern under a Tree where there was no grass.

And so you guys can see a pic of the rig i am fishing out of. This winter i hope to start customizing it with some more fly rod holders (for the ever growing collection of fly rods) and some other gadgets….
