Serious Drag Test

Glad I have a Ross Evolution in my arsenal just in case I rope a GSX-R or R6 on my back cast.

So who wants to fly fish the Congo? Wet wading anyone?

Bad Ass Fly Wallets!

Beautiful is an understatement! These wallets are bad ass! Mac Rowdy is the man behind these creations and if you check out the link he can put just about anything on leather. If you’re a Fly Fisherman or know someone who is and thought you/they had it all… Not Yet!

Check it out and have him create a family heirloom for you.

Japanese Paper Trout

I tried one of these projects with my son and it's still under construction! It's harder then it looks. Think I'll stick to spinning deer hair.

Yakima Canyon in the Fall

• Where: Yakima River

Bugs: Lightening bugs, copper johns, WD40’s, BWO’s, Sparkle Duns, Parachute Adams

After spending the previous weekend chasing steel on the Methow and getting my ass handed to me. Wayne and I spent Sunday getting redemption on the Yakima tossing size 18 BWO’s to selective trout. Day started out nymphing and ended tossing dries with the Sage 4wt. Between the both of us we easily had 30 fish to hand.

The following Saturday Tyler and I headed east to get some more Yak lovin! I did my homework before we left. Flows, weather, etc. mirrored the Sunday before. I knew it was on! First run we fished the water came alive with fish crashing the surface for Baetis. Methodically, like a sharpshooter Tyler looked for rising fish and would deliver the fly with pinpoint accuracy with his 3wt Winston BIIX. Fish after fish Tyler put on a clinic. I was also roping fish with emergers and dries. Eventually the hatch fizzled out and it was time to hit another run. We also caught fish on this run but the wind kicked in and sent us on our way. If I had to guestimate a 40+ fish day.

Fishing the Canyon in the Fall…Priceless!
