The Troutmen at The Casselman |
Here is the intro to an incredible journey back at the The Casselman. |
|
Fly Fishing Conewago |
Here is our final cut of our day at Conewago in PA. I have to say right off the bat that we broke off on a lot of huge fish this day and only landed maybe three including the one Luncker that Charles brought in. I didn't have much footage to close out this day but I added a few minutes onto the original to create this final cut. Enjoy! |
|
Fly Fishing The Gunpowder |
A truly amazing journey to the gunpowder. The Gunpowder River in MD may not hold the largest fish, but they are beautiful fish and picturesque locations. This has to be my favorite episode to date partially for the soundtrack and also all of the editing that went into this one. I hope you enjoy my films and continue to subscribe and tune in.

Fly Fishing Morgan Run with The Troutmen |
Here is the final cut of the Morgan Run Episode. This episode will be broken into two parts since I prefer to keep each movie under 10 min. I can only hold your attention for so long. Besides it takes me hours and hours in the editing room to produce a few minutes of final work. So for the sake of my sanity I will break this into two parts. I adjusted the music on this final cut since earlier versions felt too slow. I love the "how you like me now" track. Tell me what you think, I love all the responses I've received so far it keeps me motivated to make more! Enjoy! |

The Troutmen visit the Patuxent River in Maryland (Final Cut) |
Here is the Final Cut with some adjustments and proper ending. This is the second episode in the Troutmen series that we are working hard to create. This is a magnificent piece of film I am in love with its movement. The soundtrack works perfectly with each moment and I love the final 2 minutes of quiet sounds on the river. This short movie captures so well the spirit of trout fishing, my new love of film, and nature's beauty. I shoot primarily with a Kodak ZI8 and secondary with a Flip Ultra HD. They both have been modified to allow adaptive lenses and that is the fish eye and wide angle look you are seeing in the film. I also used a lot of interesting video coloration effects which I think turned out beautifully. I look forward to shooting more episodes of The Troutmen series it is my only time that I can really devote myself to fully shooting, since I am a little more limited on time when I shoot The Construction Diaries. I also want to thank my two main stars of the film, Charles Scilipote and Steve Cleveland. Both of these guys are top notch anglers which form the backbone to The Troutmen Series. I really hope you all enjoy. |

The Troutmen visit the Patuxent River in Maryland |
This is an epic tale of three young men who head to the Patuxent River for some trout fishing this past Sunday. I have put a lot of work into the editing of this film so I hope you enjoy all of the beautiful footage, transitions, music, and more! This is truly a masterpiece. |

With an extensive variety of stream habitats - long, meandering pools, deep holes, riffles, sluices, and structure - these waters present challenges worthy of the most dedicated trout anglers. They also offer opportunities for all of the classic fly fishing techniques, from dry flies to streamers and nymphs. Long beats and careful limits on guest numbers guarantee privacy and a world-class angling adventure. |

Sight Fishing Trout Rivers |
DVD trailer: You've seen excellent videos and photos showing trout caught while fly fishing. There are very few videos that discuss how you can be successful, how sight fishing is done. In Sight Fishing Trout Rivers, we share exactly that - how your approach, casts, line control, positioning, etc are all imperative to success. The good news is that any fly fisher can do it well, and our Sight Fishing Trout Rivers dvd lays an excellent foundation for your success. No matter if you are sight fishing those huge, trophy trout of the gin clear waters of New Zealand or smaller trout from clear or stained waters elsewhere, this dvd is a must. |

I know it's not a good video but I thought you could get something from it as it's a practice one that I had done to get a feel of how to film tying a classic style salmon fly. As you can see there's a few mistakes, the main one is that I forgot to switch the camera on when I was filming the tying on of the blue hackle sorry... |

Firebead Soft Hackle Sowbug |
This is a pattern that some crafty fly tier on the Bighorn River came up with. It works like hotcakes in the spring, especially on tailwaters like the Bighorn. Tie it with a pink, tan, or gray body. Wapsi Sow-Scud Dubbing is the preferred dubbing. Ice dubbing would also make a great version of this fly- try UV Tan, UV Gray, or UV Shrimp Pink. |
|
Ultra Violet Baetis |
An epoxy back mayfly nymph imitation. The flashback on this nymph is made from Hareline Dubbin's Purple Haze Holographic Fibers. An excellent nymph to imitate Baetis mayflies. Tie in sizes 16-20. I used Clear Cure Goo for the epoxy back. After experimenting with CCG I discovered that the extra fine accessory tips are a must for applying the small amounts needed for epoxy backs on small nymphs. |
|
Deep Purple Nymph |
This simple to tie nymph has held a spot in my fly box for the last 3 seasons. Purple flies work extremely well in certain situations. For me this purple nymph works well in the spring and fall, especially when fish are keying in on Baetis mayfly nymphs. Tie in sizes 16-20. |
|
Egan's Rainbow Warrior |
Lance Egan's Rainbow Warrior is an effective, easy to tie nymph pattern. Learn to tie this versatile pattern in this video from Dakota Angler & Outfitter. |
|
The Stillborn Midge |
This pattern is based on a Rene Harrop pattern. This version features an antron shuck and a foam back. It is effective for selective fish feeding on midges. My favorite colors are gray and cream. Tie in sizes 18-24. |
|
Skullp-Zilla Streamer |
The Scullpzilla Streamer from Solitude Flies has tons of movement in the water and it drives brown trout crazy. This has been one of our most effective streamers over the past two seasons. This video shows how to tie a version of this streamer with a Fish Skull head. The two hooks are joined by a section of fly line backing or by braided fishing line. Our favorite colors are white or barred tan. The version in this video uses a size 8 Gamakatsu octopus stinger hook and a size 6 front hook. This works well for a fly 3" in length. For longer flies use a 4 or 6 stinger hook and a size 4 front hook. Use a small fish scull for the smaller flies, and a medium for larger flies. |
|
Pheasant Tail Midge Pupa |
I can't recall where I first came across this simple pattern, but it has been very effective for selective fish feeding on midge pupa in the surface film. I grease the cdc wing and the fly hangs in the film. It is perfect for the start of a midge hatch when the rise forms are barely visible- just small dimples on the water's surface. In my neck of the woods I fish it in sizes 18-22 |
|
Rainbow Czech Nymph |
This is a straight forward czech nymph tying sequence, nothing earth shattering. Weight and body taper are formed by lead tape. The color combination on this pattern has been particularly effective. This pattern can also be tied with a tungsten bead. Tie in sizes 10-16. |
|
RS2 |
The RS2 is a proven pattern. Time after time it fools picky fish. Luckily for fly tiers, it isn't too tough of a fly to tie. Perfect fly to imitate emerging baetis ascending to the surface. See the materials list at Dakota Angler and Outfitter - link below |
|
Shuttlecock Buzzer |
This pattern is based on the Shuttlecock Buzzer patterns I have seen published in Czech books and websites. I typically tie these in smaller sizes for imitating emerging midges on my local trout streams. My favorite sizes are 16-22. Black, Olive, and Grey are all productive colors. This fly can be tied much larger when fishing chironomid hatches on stillwaters. When tying this fly in larger sizes it helps to add 1 or 2 feathers to the wing. |
|
CDC Klinkhammer |
This is a twist on the original Klinkhammer Special. Both the post and hackle are made from CDC. This pattern sits nicely on the water's surface. The CDC hackle undulates and adds movement to the fly. The black color scheme works well in mid to late summer when an increasing number of terrestrial insects find their way onto the water's surface. |
|
Pearl Core Cased Caddis |
This is a cased caddis larva pattern tied in the Czech style. This nymph is tied on a jig hook with a slotted tungsten bead that causes it to bounce along the bottom with the hook point riding up. Cased Caddis patterns are very effective, especially in freestone streams. Fish this fly on point, with a smaller offering above it. |
|
Chewee Bloodworm |
Bloodworms are extremely effective flies. They work well year round on most trout streams I fish. In the winter and spring months they account for a good share of the trout I catch. This simple to tie bloodworm works well in a czech nymphing rig. |
|
Czeched Out Hare's Ear |
This soft hackled Hare's Ear pattern, tied on a jig style hook, is effective and quick fly to tie. The bugginess from the hare's ear dubbing combined with the pink "hot spot" thorax make it irresistible. I typically tie it in a size 14, but it could easily be tied up to a size 8 and down to a size 16. This fly looks great when the body color is changed to olive or black. |
|
Pike Fly |
This is a simple, easy to tie fly for pike. I first saw this fly in an article by C Boyd Pfeiffer in Northwest Fly Fishing. The Body Fur makes a full and durable body. This streamer doesn't hold water like rabbit fur flies, which makes it much easier to cast. |
|
Chewee Cranefly Larva |
Craneflies are under represented in most fly angler's boxes. In my local streams cranefly larva are incredibly effective, especially in the spring when water flows rise. This chewee skin pattern was first seen as an offering from Brookside flies. With the availability of chewee skin we started tinkering with the material and figured out how to tie it. Tie a half dozen of these and make room in your fly box for them; you will be glad you did. |
|
Murdich Minnow |
The Murdich Minnow originated as a pattern for striped bass, but has proved itself as a fantastic freshwater fly for smallmouth bass, northern pike, and muskies. |
|
WD-40 |
A great fly for beginning fly tyers. This simple mayfly nymph imitation is a fish catching machine. Tie it in a variety of colors to mimic the small mayflies in your favorite rivers and streams. |
|
How to apply dubbing |
Many fly tiers struggle to apply dubbing to thread correctly. This video demonstrates how to properly apply dubbing to thread. |
|
Fish Skull Articulated Minnow |
An articulated streamer pattern tied with the new articulated shanks from Flymen. This streamer is tied to imitate a minnow, but this fly can be tied in several colors. |
|
Chewee Caddis Larva |
Chewee skin is a great material for adding realistic bodies to fly patterns. In this video UV Chewee skin is used to create a simple to tie, but realistic looking caddis larva. |
|
Blood Midge Pupa |
A fly tying video demonstrating a simple and effective blood midge pupa. Featuring the Daiichi 1273 red hook. |
|
Czech Quill Body Nymph |
Fly Tying with Hans - Czech Quill Body Nymph. Here is a play on a thread bodied nymph with a hot spot. Most eastern European nymph patterns have hot spot to attract fish to strike the fly. This is a concept worth exploring. Try adding the hot spot while keeping the overall fly slender. These patterns are producing well on Rapid Creek in a two fly rig. I typically fish this fly above a jig fly. |
|
Bottom Tick-ler |
This color scheme of tungsten jig is tremendously effective. Fish this fly as the bottom fly on a two fly rig, with a lighter nymph or soft hackle above it. I have had great luck with a small soft hackle on a dropper tag fished above this fly. Fish a larger heavier jig in faster or deeper water to get down faster. |
|
Translucent Midge Pupa |
This easy to tie midge pupae pattern combines flash into translucence an attractive and fish catching package. Tie it in sizes 16-22. Vary the color of thread to change the color scheme of the fly. |
|
Sunken Trico Spinner |
This is an excellent pattern by Ed Engle and can be found in his book Tying Small Flies. Fishing a sunken spinner at the tail end of a trico spinner fall will extend the hatch. Trout continue to feed on the spinners as they become water logged and begin to sink. Excellent when fished as a dropper under a dry fly. |
|
Extended Body CDC Dun |
This video features an extended body technique I came up with several years ago. It has worked quite well to imitate Baetis mayflies and PMDs. Change the color of the tubing for the species of mayfly you are imitating. It can also be used for a caddis or stonefly body. |
|
CDC Emerging Mayfly Nymph |
Fly Tying with Hans - CDC Emerging Mayfly Nymph. This has been a very successful pattern for imitating emerging late summer yellow mayflies, especially pale evening duns. It has fooled many selective fish on our tailwater. The body and thorax are made of CDC. This pattern can be tied in various color schemes to imitate different mayfly species. It can also be tied on a curved emerger style hook. |
|
Bottom Bouncer Caddis |
Fly Tying with Hans - Bottom Bouncer Caddis. This video features another variation on the Czech style jig nymph. The Bottom Bouncer Caddis is a suggestive imitation of a caddis larva or pupa. Fish this fly at the bottom of a 2 or 3 fly rig. |
|
Tungsten Mini Leech |
Fly Tying with Hans - Tungsten Mini Leech. This is my version of one of our most popular selling flies, the Bead Head Mini Leech. This fly has proven extremely effective on the lakes and streams of the Black Hills. However, it will no doubt work well on most trout lakes. Take note of the "clump dubbing" technique that will make it easy to achieve full buggy dubbed bodies without the use of a dubbing loop. Tie in Black, Olive, or Blood. Sizes 12-14 |
|
Ryan's EZ-Bug Carp Fly |
Fly Tying with Ryan - Ryan's EZ-Bug Carp Fly. Ryan Gabert's Carp Fly is easy to tie. It looks great in the water. Best of all it is darn effective at catching carp. Developed on South Dakota's storied flats, this fly deserves to be in any carp fly fisher's box. Tie in a size 4-6. Tie in orange, olive, or tan. |
|
Quick Tie Caddis |
Fly Tying with Ryan - Quick Tie Caddis. This high floating caddis is easy to tie and the fish love it. Ryan started tying this pattern a couple of years ago after seeing something like it in Wyoming. Tie it with the body color to match the caddis on your stream. Tan is a good all around body color. |
|
Soft Hackled Pheasant Tail Nymph |
This is a soft hackled "hot spot" version of the Pheasant Tail Nymph. The addition of the soft hackle adds movement to the fly and allow it to be fished on the swing as well as dead drifted. The hot spot is optional but it definitely adds a trigger to the fly. Great in sizes 12-20. |
|
Chernobyl Ant |
This is a great all around summer attractor or hopper imitation. This color scheme has been a great all purpose color for me. It seems to cover a variety of big terrestrial insects- hoppers, crickets, flying ants, and big beetles. I tie this pattern in sizes 8-14. |
|
Hans' Cicada |
This fly surprised me, it caught fish on the small streams that I fish in the Black Hills. It brought large trout to the surface when nothing else would. Do they take it for a cicada? I don't know, but it does catch fish. This fly is inspired by the cicada patterns I encountered in New Zealand. I tie it in a size 6 but it can be tied larger or smaller depending on the size of the bugs in your neck of the woods. |
|
Hans' Hopper |
There are many great hopper patterns out there. This pattern combines bits and pieces of several hopper patterns, with a couple of unique twists. As with most foam patterns, this hopper floats well. The accents of uv ice dub, cdc, and web wing add a few new triggers. Tie in Tan, Olive, and Yellow. |
|
Ultra Violet Nymph |
Based on nymphs from Czech fly tiers, the Ultra Violet Nymph is a very effective fly fished in the European or American styles of nymphing. It is also very effective fished as a dropper from a dry fly. This pattern works well to imitate mayfly nymphs as they rise through the water column on their way to the surface. |
|
BASS Worm |
Fly Tying with Ryan - BASS Worm. Nevermind the silly accent and the off centered camera view, this fly works. It works especially well on largemouth, but I have caught a few catfish on it too. Hmm. Guess you'd better tie some. Tie it on a size 4 or 6. Good colors to tie are purple, black, and olive. |
|
Bow River Bugger |
The Bow River Bugger is an awesome streamer pattern that has proven its place in my fly box. I fish this pattern for trout and smallmouth bass alike. |
|
Ryan's Fire Ant |
Fly Tying with Ryan - Ryan's Fire Ant
Ryan Gabert ties one of his favorite summer time patterns. Trout seldom pass up the chance to eat an ant. Ryan started tying his Fire Ant last summer and had great success. As temperatures start to warm, trout will start to key on terrestrials. Ants patterns are so effective that they deserve ample room in your fly box. |
|
Euro Jig Pheasant Tail |
European nymphing is gaining in popularity here in the Estados Unidos, as it should. The techniques that have been used in France, Spain, Poland, and the Czech Republic deserve attention. They add a new perspective to nymph fishing and open up new opportunities on our home waters. The jig style nymphs employed in various tight line nymphing techniques give the angler the option to fish right on the bottom without fear of repeated snag-ups. The weight from these jigs keeps the the multiple fly rig taunt and allows for better telegraphing of strikes. The jig in this video is a pheasant tail style nymph. Many of our standard nymph patterns can be adapted to tying on these new jig hooks. |
|
Boat Anchor Scud |
Fishing the Bighorn or other western tailwater? Hate using split shot? Use this scud pattern in place of weight and save yourself the trouble of digging for split shot or untangling rigs. The trout dig it. Caught some of the biggest fish of the past trip on this fly. |
|
CDC Split Wing Sparkle Dun |
Blue Winged Olives (aka Baetis) create superb early and late season hatches. This simple but effective take on the sparkle dun pattern features a split CDC wing. Fish this fly as fish begin to feed on the surface. Its fine if the fly hangs a bit in the film. This fly can even be tied on a curved shank emerger hook to fish as an emerger. |
|
Hans' Sowbug |
Hans' Sowbug is an alternative to some of the more common sowbug patterns. This pattern has worked quite well on the Bighorn River. The Ray Charles pattern works great, but it is nice to have a slightly different fly to try if the fish get picky. |
|
Pheasant Tail Nymph |
The Pheasant Tail Nymph is one of the most widely used nymphs on trout streams throughout the world, and for good reason. This fly is one of the most productive flies of all time. This version is tied in the newer american style. Al Troth is widely credited with creating this version of the pheasant tail nymph. Great fished in sizes 12 down to size 20 or 22. More videos to come of Pheasant Tail Nymph Variations. |
|
Tungsten Skinny Nelson |
The Skinny Nelson is a Baetis nymph pattern developed for the Bighorn River in Montana by Tracy Peterson. It is a simple but deadly fly. It works great in any stream or river with small mayfly nymphs. It can be tied with or without a tungsten bead. Typically it is tied in sizes 18-20, but tying them in slightly larger or smaller sizes works too. |
|
Hot Spot Pheasant Tail Nymph |
For the past several months this pattern has been very effective on my home waters of Rapid Creek. Where I fish it is best tied in sizes 14-16 This pattern is well suited to use in a Spanish or French nymphing rig. Feel free to alter the body color and change the color of the hot spot. I have had good luck with a black body and a purple thorax, as well as a black body with an orange thorax. |
|
Parachute Dry Fly |
Parachute style dry flies are some of the most versitile patterns in a fly fishers arsenal. Tie them in a few colors and sizes and you are ready to match many a hatch. |
|
Ray Charles Sowbug Pattern |
The Ray Charles pattern is a Bighorn River staple. It catches fish everyday of the year on the Bighorn. It works on many other tailwaters. It works to imitate small scuds as well as sowbugs. Tie this in tan, pink, gray, or white. |
|
Yellow Stimulator |
The Stimulator is one of the best attractor dry flies around. Stimulators are extremely versatile. Use them as alone or with a dropper. Kudos to Randall Kaufmann for a great pattern. Great fished in sizes 6 down to size 18. |
|
Cranefly Adult |
Craneflies are often overlooked by trout anglers as a food source. Craneflies, both in their larval form and their adult form, can be very abundant. On our local waters I have had tremendous luck the past several seasons fishing both the larva and the adults. This adult pattern came about after watching two large rainbows fight over an cranefly that was skittering down a riffle on our local tailwater. I tied up a couple of these and caught several fish on the next outing. On this video I used 210 UTC thread because my bench was such a mess that I couldn't find my bobbin with white 120 UTC thread. It was a bit too bulky at the front of the fly. Use 140 denier. |
|
Hare's Ear Nymph |
Hare's Ear Nymph
Another classic nymph. The Hare's Ear Nymph can be found in fly boxes around the globe. The version tied here is the now standard version found in most fly shops. It can be tied with lead wire for weight, or with a bead head for flash and weight. Tie in sizes 10-20. |
|
Mercury Midge - Glass Bead Midge |
Beginning Fly Tying - Mercury Midge - Glass Bead Midge. This is one of the best flies to begin a tying career. These flies are simple to tie. Tying a glass bead midge teaches how to wrap thread and how to rib a body. Probably the best reason for tying this pattern is, that despite being so simple to tie, it catches loads of fish. For the waters I regularly fish, it makes more sense to tie a few dozen of these rather than tying a box full of wooly buggers. Vary the thread colors to include black, olive, and red bodies. The availability of wire and thread colors makes for endless color combinations. |
|
Prince Nymph |
Does anybody go fly fishing without a few prince nymphs in their box? I hope not. This is a fantastic nymph pattern that fools trout all over the world. The pattern is credited to Doug Prince. This pattern can be tied with or without a bead. It can also be weighted with lead wire. |
|
Beginning Fly Tying - Elk Hair Caddis |
Al Troth's Elk Hair Caddis is a classic. This pattern is a stand-by that should be in every fly-fisher's box. The basic pattern shown in this video features a tan color scheme. The Elk Hair Caddis can be tied in several colors to match the caddis hatching, but the tan is a good all around fly. Tie in sizes 12-20. Tie with tan, black, or olive bodies. Experiment with Ice dubbing for the body to add flash to the fly. |
|
Tungsten San Juan Worm |
Fly Tying with Hans - Tungsten San Juan Worm. This is worm season. Flows are up, which stirs in the worms. Fish like aquatic worms, go figure. Tie some of these up and catch some truchas. |
|
Tungsten Squirrel Hair Leech |
Tying with Hans- Tungsten Squirrel Hair Leech. On the small streams I frequent, it is hard to fish streamers. It doesn't seem like an obviously fly choice. However, once you start using them and catching fish they become a staple in your box. Rabbit Hair leeches and squirrel hair leeches work great. On smaller water I find myself fishing them more and more. I cast across, let them sink, swing, and then "jig" them back upstream. Tie some and you will be happy they did. |
|
Split Case PMD Nymph |
This is a great nymph from Solitude flies and it does a bang up job imitating emerging nymphs. This fly works great for PMDs or BWO's. Change the body color to a dark olive for BWO's. |
|
Tungsten Undertaker |
This is a great little nymph that I started fishing about a year ago. It works well as a dropper behind a larger offering. I typically fish it in size 18. The tungsten teardrop adds a good dose of weight. When fished behind a weighted front fly in a two fly nymph rig the need for additional split shot or weight putty is eliminated. This patter is also well suited to use in a Spanish or French nymphing rig. Black is my favorite color for this nymph, however any number of color combinations or schemes would work well. |
|
Killer Mayfly Nymph |
This is a great nymph from Solitude flies and it does a bang up job imitating small baetis nymphs. A recent diet study found that baetis nymphs and midges were the top trout foods in Black Hills Streams. We use this fly as a dropper below a scud or an attractor nymph. |
|
Chewee Worm |
Let's face it, worm patterns can work well. Extremely well. Here is another pattern to add to the worm pile. It looks good and is easy to tie. Good in red or worm brown. |
|
Pinkie Worm-Midge |
This fly tying video features the Pinkie Fly, but not the pinkie of Bighorn River fame. This fly came about after seeing small pink worms in stomach pump samples in our local tailwater Rapid Creek. While this is not a perfect match it works very well. Coincidently it also works very well on the Bighorn River. Fish might also be taking this fly in our tailwater as a mysis shrimp. |
|
CDC Beetle |
Beetles and Ants are some of a trout's favorite summer foods. This pattern has done me well the past couple of summers. It was my go to fly on the fish in our catch and release area. Fish that had repeatedly refused other offering would often take this fly on the first presentation. The fact that it is easy to tie is a bonus. Happy Tying |
|
Hydropsyche Caddis Larvae |
Tying with Hans - Hydropsyche Caddis Larvae. This has been a solid producer for me in areas with good populations of free swimming caddis larvae. This pattern is very similar to the caddis patterns of Oliver Edwards. Thanks for the great tips and instruction Oliver! The legs are a great addition to any caddis larva pattern, or stoneflies and clinger mayfly nymphs. Happy Tying. |
|
Hans' Spring Soft Hackle |
Tying with Hans - Hans' Spring Soft Hackle. This easy to tie soft hackle pattern takes early season trout feeding on midges or emerging baetis mayflies. The purple thorax seems to be a trigger to trout. This fly can be fished deep behind a nymph, on the swing, or as a dropper a few inches behind a dry fly. Happy Tying. |
|
Sipper Midge |
Tying with Hans - Sipper Midge. Our take on the bighorn river classic. This is a simple fly pattern that packs a punch. Fish this for selective trout feeding on midge adults or even emerging midges. Tie this in several body colors- namely black, olive, grey, and cream. Fish this with just a bit of floatant rubbed onto the post and hackle. Don't put floatant on the abdomen of the fly. That allows the body of the fly to hang below the waters surface. Fly tying videos by Hans Stephenson of Dakota Angler & Outfitter. |
|
Chewee Scud |
Tying with Hans - Chewee Scud. This is a pattern that I have tied for quite some time, but it has been updated with a new material- UV Chewee Skin. Big fish love scuds. I fish this in our local tailwater and it works great. |
|
Chewee Blackfly Larva |
Tying with Hans - Chewee Blackfly Larva. Black Fly Larvae are often overlooked as a food source for trout. Most of the streams in our area have an abundance of Black Flies. This pattern worked great on its initial outing and has earned a spot in the box. |
|
Fish Skull Streamer |
Tying with Hans - Fish Skull Streamer. Wow. These fish skulls are the ticket. They make an ordinary streamer pattern have some pop. They are super easy to use. |
|
Jig Hook Clouser Minnow |
This is a great bug for smallmouth bass. We have used it extensively on the Missouri River system. It has accounted for several of our biggest smallies. Try various colors, but this generic whitish color scheme works well. Be sure to tie this to your tippet with a loop knot. |
|
Frosty the Snowman |
Started tying this oversized lightning bug/north fork hybrid this past fall and had some great results. Seemed to work well on aggressive fall brown trout. This fly can be tied up to size 10 and is meant to catch a fish's eye. Fish this fly deep with an upstream nymphing style or fish it on the swing. |

Silver and Gold |
What does Yukon Cornelius love? Silver and Gold. Silver and Gold. What does YGF like? Silver and Gold. Well, more like Rainbows and Browns. Close enough. A video filled with bumbles, abominable snowmen, miners, reindeer, brown trout, and rainbow trout. Consider this the pinnacle of the concept of YGF. It can only go downhill from here.

Trout of 2011 |
The trout of 2011.... that I decided to take video of. Fly fishing in western, southwestern, and central Montana. Includes a 23" brown, 25" brown, 27" brown, and 28" rainbow. It was a good angling year. |
|
toxic |
A foggy morning on the bitterroot turned into a tough day of fishing. No epic streamer fishing was to be had. Two streamer takes all day. A 17-18" brown was angry and/or hungry enough to take an original and a 20" rainbow wanted to become internet famous until it threw the streamer hooks. When 2:30 rolled around the BWOs started hatching and some fish were caught up top.

The Only Way Is Up |
We've started working on a brand new documentary about ourselves, and here's an edit of some the first material we recorded during winter/early spring 2011. We´ll record throughout 2012, and the film will be out in the early months of 2013. |

|
Northern Exposure II |
Northern Exposure pt II: Trout Latency. On a blistering hot summer day last week, I travelled to one of my favourite trout rivers up north. The fishing was very slow indeed, but eventually I managed to find two big trout. The first one ignored my attempts completely in the ultra-bright conditions, making me feel clumsy.
The second one was rising steadily in the late evening, gulping down whatever insects the stream carried. It took my mayfly pattern on the first cast. |

Les Vaches et les Mouches |
"Cows and Flies" - Another beautiful spring day above the arctic circle. This time, the weather was on my side, and I had a fantastic day, catching several beautiful trout on the dry fly and communicating with the local cattle. Cows are much more intelligent than you might think! |
|
2 Fast 2 Furious |
A huge storm was coming in from the North Atlantic, giving me just a few minutes to fish the calm before the storm.
Driven to a frenzy by the river´s feasting trout and further aggrevated by the sound of some guy drilling a hole for a flag pole outside his summer cottage, I experienced some severe strike problems. Somehow, I managed to cool down just before the storm hit the river and made fishing and filming impossible. |
|
Trout, Bardu |
Since we have had so much hard time finding the trout lately, I thought it would be a good idea to remind ourselves what it looks like.
Here's one of very good quality from Bardu, Norway. Music by Jazz & Fly Fishing |

How to Sell Jazz to Fishermen |
There was thousands of visitors at the Jonkoping fishing fair. So many that we were confident we would sell out our cd's in no time. After Joona had played a beautiful intro and solo on the Hatch followed by my excellent bass solo, we were expecting to see a long queue to for cd's and autographs.
But what?! Not single one on the sales desk? A catastrophe!
It seemed like they didn't even realize what they were missing: The only record in the universe that combines these two worlds - jazz, and fly fishing - in a perfect harmony.
This wasn't going to happen. Not to us. We were bound to make a difference. Go fishing. Make music. Make love. Make peace. Buy the Jazz & Fly Fishing album "Slow walking water". |

Jönköping Fishing Fair Interviews 1 |
Jazz & Fly Fishing was at Sweden's biggest fishing fair at Jönköpings Fiskemässa.
We had three questions to ask from everybody:
1. What's your biggest fish
2. Do you listen to Jazz?
3. Have you heard about Jazz & Fly Fishing
We got some pretty good answers. Check it out. |
|
Sight Fishing 2 |

Urban Fly Fishing |
If you though urban fishing meant carp, bass or panfish, think again! Jazz & Fly Fishing goes trout fishing in downtown Oslo in Norway. You may want to select a lower video quality since the 1080p HD video is very slow and jerky... |
|
The Silver Rush |
The guys from Jazz & Fly Fishing are at it again. A great little B/W video with some excellent Duke Ellington jazz to accompany a sea trout trip. |

A Fly Fisherman's Monologue. An “out of the box” personal, expressionistic exploration of Jeff Layton’s passion for Steelhead on a double handed Spey rod.

Joe's Smelt |
Had a request for a smelt pattern. One of the smelt I came up with, Joe's Smelt. |

Black Ghost |

|
Olive Pheasant Tail Wet Fly |
Olive mayflies hatch all season long so having some of these in your box won't hurt. |
|
Stuck In The Muck |
This is the dry fly version of the GSS emerger. Good Luck with yours! |
|
Gummy Caddis Larva |
Try out this material on for your caddis larva & rock worms. The material is cheap & streaches 10x the length than the at rest size. When considering the amount of fly's you can make with it, the price is pennies. it comes from Spirit River, I use the orange, green, & red. |
|
Early Black Stone Fly |
Quick easy dry stonefly pattern. Can also be tied in brown, or yellow for when the yellow sally's hatch in the summer. |
|
Cinnomon Segde Pupa |
Here is another Gummy fly. This material is really cool stuff |
|
Bead eye GRHE |
This fly will ride point up due to the bead chain. So it's important to tie the wing case on the under side of the fly. |
|
Tying a Cork Popper |
Using Cork to make poppers is more time consuming. This video was 45 minutes cut down to 18. Sorry for all the editing. |
|
Bluegill Olive Soft Hackle |
Another great pan fish fly. Can also be tied in any color. Tied it weighted if you want to fish deeper water in the 5 to 10 foot range. |
|
Bluegill Popper |

Tying an Egg Pattern |
This is the easiest egg pattern you'll ever find! |
|
Adams Parachute |
An Adams parachute is a good pattern to use after the mayflies have been hatching for awhile, and there is no immediate hatch happening. |
|
Adams Cripple |
The crippled mayfly is the easiest meal a hungry trout can eat. The first "Crippled Adams" I ever saw came from the vetaren fly fisherman, that asked me for a Dyberry Special. It was a fair exchange. |
|
Dyberry Special |
This is one of the first fly's I ever tied that worked. It worked in the Dyberry Creek in Wanye Co. Penna. I was fishing the fly only section. It worked so good I gave a few to the veteran fly fisherman. I was just 20 at the time and 50yr old guy's asked me for one of my pattern, how cool was that? Anyway Hope you can come up with a special fly yourself. |
|
Tying a grasshopper |

|
Griffiths Gnat |
Tying a Griffiths Gnat with Jim Misiura. For a beginner fly tier this is the easiest and most productive fly to learn. Tie them in size 14 - 24. This is the most productive fly in my box. I tie them using both natural and olive dyed grizzly hackle. Tie alot of these! |
|
Egg Sucking Leech |
Tying an Egg Sucking Leech with Jim Misiura. This is a popular patern where spawning fish are. The use of the Pom Pom makes this an easier pattern to tie. The weight put the fly to the bottom where the fish are feeding. |

|
The Sparkle Braid Prince |
This is a Prince variation that I have been fishing recently. While I love the original Prince, I also love to work with different materials and see if the work as good or better than the original. This pattern, so far, has worked just as well. Try them in red and chartreuse for an attractor and caddis color. |

|
The Royal Gorgeous Caddis |
This little caddis pattern works great anywhere there are caddis larva and pupa drifting around. It is based off of the Cimarron Special, a pattern from Greg Faught, one of my favorite patterns of all time. This is a very simple pattern to tie and the key is the buggy rubber leg dubbing. |
|
The U.V. Pearl Jam Midge |
This is a variation of the Disco Midge that I call the U.V. Pearl Jam Midge. It works great during the winter when midges are always on the menu. Easy to tie, I make sure I have plenty of these on my midge box. |
|
The Colorado Caddis |
The Colorado Caddis, tied in either green or cream, will cover most of your caddis species during the hatch. This little bug will work well when there is not a hatch too. Tie it heavy or light, It will work well for you. |
|
Sucker Spawn |
Walt Mueller tying a Sucker Spawn |
|
The Buggy Arizona Prince Nymph |
The Arizona Prince comes from Jeremy Davies and this is a variation of that pattern. I have added a bit of soft hackle to make it a buggier pattern. This is a lot easier and faster to tie than the original Prince. Give them a try. |

A Mayan Prophecy |
MOTIV Fishing cuts their own path through some of the most rugged jungles of Belize in hopes of finding out-of-the-way locations—with fish, and escaping with captured memories. To make it home they have to keep moving, or the jungle will surround and overtake them, making you just another roadside casualty in the vehicular ancient Mayan burial ground.
Belize is a contrast of extremes (beauty and pain), and the road you end up traveling may not be by choice, but as with anywhere that human interaction hasn’t overtaken, once you get there, paradise and unspoiled fishing are right at your feet. |

Geofish Trailer |
MOTIV Fishing is an independent media production company focused on the creation of progressive fly fishing films, and adventure travel series broadcasts for outdoor television. Our mission at MOTIV Fishing is simple: Create a new genre of fishing media that is appealing not only to fly fishing and conventional sport fishing enthusiasts, but also inspiring and captivating to general audiences, fishermen and non-fishermen alike. |

Rush to the Driftless |
I traveled back to the homeland for a week of family and friends. Fly rod and tenkara in tote, my dad and I met up with the Winona Fly Factory (winonaflyfactory.com) fisherman and we explored some of what the Driftless area has to offer for trout fishing. The tenkara rod ended up being a great option for my dad, someone who is pretty new to fly fishing. He took to it well. It was a long time on the water, but we had a great weekend fishing, finding morel mushrooms, and hanging out at the barn. |
|
Cast 'n Swim in Warmer Waters |
We seek refuge in the warmer waters of southern countries when the winters begin to drag. Fly rod in tow, I tried my hand at tropical fish. We snorkeled and SCUBA dived to find the ones we didn't catch. If you keep your eyes peeled at 3:42, you'll see my elusive Permit swimming through the frame. Now, stop watching and go catch some fish. |

For graduation, my parents asked what I wanted. I said a fly fishing trip in my new home.
Sara and I went fly fishing for striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay with Capt. Chris Newsome of Bay Fly Fishing. This was Sara's first time fly fishing and she did awesome!
It was a beautiful day, and the stripers fell like dominoes. |

Surf and inshore flyfishing 2011 |
Another year of fly fishing the inshore waters of the Northeast |
|
Surf & Inshore Fly Fishing |
Having fished likely my last saltwater day in 2011, it was time to do some editing of the massive amount of images collected during the year.
This is a first look at some of the footage from the 2011 season. There is a ton more to go through and some of the footage from the flats of NY&CT, Block Island and Montauk, especially underwater footage, is really interesting. |

Prince Nymph Jig |
Here is the third installment in a series of Jig Style weighted nymphs for use with any euro or tight line nymphing rig. This pattern is a jig representation of the ever popular prince nymph. Only difference with this particular pattern is it substitutes peacock with a synthetic dubbing and cdc collar. Jig style nymphs are very deadly fish catchers and should be in every nymph fisherman's rotation. |
|
Brown Quill Jig Nymph |
Here is the second in a series of Jig Style weighted nymphs for use with any euro or tight line nymphing rig. This pattern is a brown version that is working quite well currently as a representation of any type of medium to larger mayfly nymph, notably the hendrickson, sulfur, quill gordon or the like. Jig style nymphs are very deadly fish catchers and should be in every nymph fisherman's rotation. |
|
Olive Quill Jig Nymph |
Here is the first in a series of Jig Style weighted nymphs for use with any euro or tight line nymphing rig. This pattern is a light olive version that is working quite well currently as a representation of a baetis type nymph or any olive colored medium to small mayfly nymph, or caddis larva. Jig style nymphs are very deadly fish catchers and should be in every nymph fisherman's rotation. |
|
Rainbow Ice Pick Swinger |
Here is the shanked trailer hook version of my ever popular Ice Pick Streamer. I spun this guy up for you swingers out there who like to fish for steelhead or any species for that matter on the swing. The video demonstrates how to effectively tie a shanked style streamer with a trailer hook, and how to properly position and set up the trailer hook on these types of flies. |
|
Quill Body BWO Dun |
A very simple quill body style dry fly for the upcoming Blue Wing Olive Hatches in early spring. This fly like most, can be altered in size and color to represent any mayfly emergence. The construction of the fly demonstrates a couple of tips to ensure neatly tied and durable quill bodied flies. |
|
Emerging Midge |
A pretty simple emergent midge pattern tied on a rather unique hook. A few slight tweeks in color of thread and rib material and you can cover any midge on any given river at any given time. Have fun with this one. |
|
2011 Year In Review |
Just a recap of some of the fishing that I actually did in between guiding. Next year will be much more as I will not be guiding....Look out |
|
Hog Snare Streamer |
My double articulated streamer that I concocted last season, and it accounted for some rather stellar browns. Alter the colors and you can cover the bases. The color combo tied in the video is my all time favorite. This fly has both horizontal and vertical swimming action |
|
Tiny Dancer Caddis Pupa |
My personal pattern to imitate the winter caddis that we get on our home river of the Farmington. The fly is intended to be skated, but can also be fished dead drift. The fly can be altered to imitate any pupa that is meant to be skated on the surface. |
|
BS Swinger |
A shanked trailer hook streamer, typically used in steelhead fishing. This is a very basic pattern that gives the tyer the tools to create stinger style streamers for use with a single or double handed rod. Stinger style streamers are often overlooked by trout fisherman, but are a very useful tool in ones arsenal. Vary the colors and have fun |
|
Slate Drake Nymph |
My absolute favorite slate drake nymph pattern. Like most of the flies I gravitate towards, it is yet another versatile subsurface pattern that can be fished actively or dead drifted. Out of all the slate drake I tie and fish, this one is by far the one I turn to the most. Enjoy |
|
October Caddis Pupa |
My go to October or Pumpkin Caddis Pupa. This is a very versatile pattern, strip it, swing it, dead drift it catches fish during an october caddis emergence. Brings up some big fish too. |
|
The Meat Helmet Sculpin |
Here is a new sculpin pattern utilizing the New Sculpin Helmet Fish Skull and Articulated Shank from Flymen Fishing. The beauty of this particular pattern is it provides you with many options in terms of number of hooks, hook placement and of course length and of fly and articulation point. |
|
PMD Nymph |
A spin off of the chicken finger that worked wonders out west for a pmd nymph. Alter the color and size and you have one nice micro nymph |
|
Farmington Caddis Action |
Just a teaser of what the fishing can be like during caddis time. |
|
Rich's Busted Stone |
A shaggy low riding surface stonefly pattern that could easily do double duty as a hopper. |
|
Hendrickson Comparadun |
Just in time for the Hendrickson hatch, here is a modern classic that has a place in all dry fly boxes. Alter the size and color to imitate any mayfly hatch. |
|
Rich's Chicken Finger |
A streamlined weighted mayfly pattern designed to cut through the water easily to get to the fish. This pattern can be altered in color and size to imitate various types of mayfly nymphs. |
|
The Beach Comber |
A really simple streamer mainly designed to represent sand eels, but could easily be altered for bay anchovies or any smaller salt water or even freshwater baitfish. The fish skulls are also used in the construction of this particular fly and really make this one a real winner. |
|
The Bloodied Baitfish |
Just another fun streamer pattern to tie. This particular one uses the new aluminum sea eyes as they aren't as heavy as standard dumbbell eyes and they allow the tyer to uses larger diameter eyes in the dressing. A good representation of most baitfish with a quick alteration of colors. |
|
The Cellar Dweller Streamer |
Vertical Jig Style streamer pattern. Can be fished for several species. Jig style streamers are very overlooked patterns and styles, and this one is a deadly one. |
|
The Articulated Ice Pick |
The jointed version of my Ice Pick Streamer utilizing the new Fish Skull streamer heads by Flymen Fishing Company. If you liked the single version, this one is even nicer and makes a much bigger baitfish pattern. |
|
Rich's Winter Stone |
A small beaded nymph for the winter stoneflies that hatch in February through March on most Eastern Streams. Tie this fly in shades of black or brown in sizes 14-20 and you can cover your bases. Good luck and happy tying. |
|
Iron Maiden |
A wired pattern which works pretty good in the winter months. This is a good attractor pattern when all else fails, but can also be a stonefly mayfly or dragonfly nymph. Does double duty as a great panfish fly. |
|
Zebra Midge Soft Hackle |
A soft hackled variation of the zebra midge. The sky is truly the limit in terms of color combos, rib materials, and body materials that can be utilized to match any midge activity on your local waters. |
|
The JBL |
A blackfly larva imitation that takes about a minute or so to tie, imitates the natural very well and catches fish all year long. A very overlooked food source for trout and one that is very prevalent in just about every body of water. Tie a few up and hang on. |
|
Syl's Midge |
An homage to a wet fly great Sylvester Nemes and one of his most well noted creations. This tutorial also demonstrates the proper way to build a peacock herl body. |
|
Crippled Midge |
A great all around midge pupa or larva pattern that can be fished in the lower to mid portion of the water column. Another simple tie, that with a few alterations of size and color can match any midge activity. Good luckCast: Richard Strolis |
|
Spicy BWO |
A spiced up version of a euro style bwo nymph utilizing some newer materials and hooks not readily available to those of us in the states. The construction of this particular pattern demonstrates how to lay down a quill styled body and how to construct a split thread dubbing rope. |
|
The R-F Caddis |
Great caddis surface pattern using a couple new materials in a traditional pattern. Something different to throw at those finicky fish. |
|
Hendrickson Soft Hackle |
A very easy soft hackle pattern that I like to fish during the Hendrickson hatches both prior to, during and while spinners are falling. This particular fly can be altered in size and color for any mayfly hatch not just the Hendrickson Mayfly, so experiment and find what works for you. |
|
Egg Sac Spinner |
My personal spin on a an egg sac rusty spinner pattern. This is one fly that will become very important in your arsenal this month once the Hendricksons get into full swing. Alter the sizes, omit the egg sac and you have a spinner imitation that will cover the bases during any spinner fall. |
|
Rich's Simple Sulfur Nymph #2 |
Round 2, similar to the first, but a bit different yet just as easy and maybe even more durable. |
|
Rich's Super Simple Sulfur Nymph #1 |
Doesn't get much easier than this, a very simple 3 material pattern that is super deadly. This video also serves dual purpose for those of you looking for a simple pattern to start with if you are a beginner fly tyer. |
|
Tungsten Trico Trio |
3 Subsurface trico patterns to add to your arsenal. Be sure to tie all three colors with tungsten and brass beads. |
|
Spun Sally |
A fly demonstrating how to tie a furled style extended body fly. This particular one is the simplest form of furling, with only one material utilized. Simple and effective. |
|
The "Ice-Pick" Streamer |
Zonker variation of a streamer utilizing the new Fish Skullz by Flymen Flyfishing. White, yellow, grizzly and orange are some top producers. An easy streamer pattern that works very well. |
|
The Knucklehead Streamer |
A uniquely jointed streamer utilizing wiggle tubing, and the new Fish Skullz to make a really cool medium sized streamer. Vary the colors to have endless possibilities. |
|
Sticky Icky |
A grub/caddis larva utilizing the new UV chewy Skin. Fun and easy |
|
Rock Candy Larva |
A two material caddis larva pattern that is virtually indestructible. Was one of my top 2 anchor flies in 2010. Tie this bad boy in olive and green and hang on. |
|
Rich's MBA |
Rich's MBA can be both a march brown and a medium sized stonefly. It's moderately weighted and designed to be fished as an anchor in a "euro-style" nymph rig. |
|
Vitreus Soft Hackle |
A soft hackle fly used during the Yellow Quill hatches. The fly can also be fished as a nymph in the round and deep if you add a bead. |
|
Rich's Mop-Head Streamer |
A generalist streamer pattern that could represent a slew of different food forms for just about any species. Sculpins to minnows to crayfish, trout love it, and it's not too difficult to tie. This video also displays how to tie a veiled head on a streamer. |
|
In The Round Stonefly |
A simple stonefly pattern that works great as an anchor in a euro rig, or under an indicator, or without the bead as a wet fly. A very, very versatile and simple tie. Back to basics on this one, and with some influence by Joe Brooks and his Brooks Stone, and Jack Gartsides sparrow. |
|
Woven Mayfly Nymph |
A woven mayfly nymph that can be tied to fish in many disciplines based upon how it is weighted. The video shows the basic weave method. The beauty of woven flies is they provide a near perfect two toned fly very similar to the natural insect. |
|
Shucked Up Emerger |
A concoction Richard Strolis came up with last March prior to leaving for the Bighorn and the olive hatches that he were to fish there. Something a bit different from the norm. And it worked very well. Tie em all the colors and sizes to imitate your prevailing mayfly hatch. |
|
The "ST" Stonefly |
A stonefly nymph imitation that merges realistic and impressionistic concepts together to make a rather easy fly to tie. Most of the stonefly nymphs out there are either more impressionistic or extensively elaborate. This merges the two but doesn't take forever to tie. Tie these in sizes 2-10 on a 3x long shank hook. The best color combinations are golden with gold and black wire rib, brown with amber and brown wire, and black with black and gold wire. |
|
Case Closed |
A cased caddis pattern that works wonders in the spring on freestone rivers in the northeast. Any river where these insects are abundant, this pattern will do the trick. Another great pattern that utilizes 3 materials. Also featured in Thomas Ames' book Caddisflies. |
|
The Shimmer Stone |
The Shimmer Stone is two toned like a natural, and takes on a woven fly look without the weaving. Colors and sizes can be altered according to taste. |
|
Rich's Winter Stone |
A small beaded nymph for the winter stoneflies that hatch in February through March on most Eastern Streams. Tie this fly in shades of black or brown in sizes 14-20 and you can cover your bases. |
|
Crazy Leg Caddis |
A slightly new spin to a Czech nymph. Nothing groundbreaking just some added flare to an already effective fly. |

This is probably the best movie I ever done. I had two camera teams working so it has to be.
Or, at least two cameras.
But unfortunately I have to warn the younger viewers. This film contain some cruel, brutal and violent scenes , not everyone's cup of tea. And worst of all; animals used to make this video did come to harm. Serious harm! And you who cannot stand the sight of blood, don't watch this video! |

Steelhead Dreams, part 2 |
Part #2 of the epic trip to Northern British Columbia. it was a glimpse into a life most people dream of; living within a short walk to stellar waters, seeing mountains in every direction, and sharing habitat with North America’s kings of the food chain – the grizzly bears and wolves who frequently visit camp. A great story about two amazing women. |

BWO Dun |
#2 Wide Open Fishing TV - Chapter from the movie The Fish & The Fly 1 Dry Flies. Morten Oeland is tying BWO Dun |
|
The Fish & The Fly 3 Terrestrials |
This is dry fly fishing at its best. Terrestrials are land based insects - grasshoppers, beetles, Daddy Long Legs etc. Imitations of these insects are natural additions to any flybox and Morten Oeland shows why.
We join him as he uses his fantastic imitations on a number of fishingtrips in Denmark, Greenland, Germany, New Zealand and Swedish Lapland.
We follow him as he chooses his fly, tactic and fishing technique in every situation. The film is packed with fact and information about fishing the terrestrial.
Morten is a skilled and experienced flytier. The second movie on the DVD is about the tying of the imitations he uses. He shows step by step how he ties his original, simple and highly innovative flies.
This is an instructive movie, which is also full of great moments and exciting fishing situations. Morten catches lots of beautiful fish in amazing surrouding. A film of the same high standards as the previous movies in this series. |

The After Work Special |
With spring....springing and the sun setting around 8 pm, the after work special is again a viable option. Getting into to work by 6 am and setting off alarms, so you can get out on the water by 3 pm. You know, "The After Work Special." This edit features four separate after work specials fly fishing for rainbow and brown trout on the Bitterroot. Some trout were caught. Some were lost. |
|
The Leprechaun and the Yeti |
Some fishing partners are tall. Some are short. Anthony of False Casts and Flat Tires is the Leprechaun. I, apparently, am the Yeti. A couple of days of fly fishing on the Bitterroot. We got into some solid rainbows and browns, but nothing too extraordinary. Things are heating up, but we could have said that about the entire winter. Although, it is good to have some dry fly fishing on the horizon. |
|
King of the Herd |
New and completely fake terms are being coined. That monster group of whitefish you see huddled around a big trout. That's a herd. And that big trout flanked by those pesky whitefish is the King of the Herd. A day of fishing with the False Casts Flat Tires (FCFT) crew on the Bitterroot. It was generally slow with the exception of the 22" cutbow that Zach hooked and Anthony miraculously netted. We found some pike in some shallow backwater. All of us stung one, none of us caught one. That goal will have to wait. |
|
Calling Hogs |
Spent this past Saturday on the Bitterroot with Matt Breuer and Blakely. Floating in the Breuer's skiff, we enjoyed the slightly seasonally warm temperatures, and to a lesser degree, the biting winds. While the float was a little hurried, we were able to stick some fish, including two solid rainbows who were both caught on streamers. Icing on the cake. |
|
Cutties are for Suckers |
A warm January day on the Bitterroot with Zach and Stan from False Casts and Flat Tires. For a while, it seemed like all I could catch were suckers. 4 or 5 of them in a row at one point. Big ones too - 21 to 22" on the high end. I will admit it, they were a worthy fish on the fly rod. But, eventually we found the trout. We caught our fair share of cutthroat and rainbows. I caught a couple nice 17 to 19" cutthroat and rainbows to end the day. |
|
Sleep, Dreams, and Birthday Donuts |
It's December in Montana and winter hitting us hard.....LIES. It was over 40 F this past weekend, so Bucko, Blakely, and Matt Breuer (of Ponoi River Co.) traveled over to the Mo to harass some of it's trouts. We stopped by Headhunters Fly Shop in the morning and then hit the water. It was a relaxing day on the water, for sure. Several good trout came to hand. It was Blakely's birthday, so we stopped and got a Birthday Donut from the Donut Hole in Helena. |
|
mad |
Some fall fly fishing for the Madison River's brown trout. The browns were on the feed as evidenced by the 18 inch brown that had an 8" rainbow sticking out of it's mouth. We never found the monsters that the Madison is known for, but some solid fish between 16 to 19" were caught. |
|
____ in a Barrel |
To say Monday on the Ruby was an epic day of fishing would be an understatement. It was overcast and the water had a little color to it. Perfect for streamer fishing for brown trout. Caught uncountable numbers of 14 to 19" brown trout and in the evening, Bucko caught a 27" Brown. Rainbows threw themselves at streamers and dries, as well. I can't remember a better day on the water. |
|
Boom goes the Brownomite |
A day of fly fishing on SW Montana's Beaverhead River with YGF and Evolution Anglers. Nothing too huge came to the boat, but a good time was had. Browns and Rainbows were caught. An 18-19" brown trout was the largest fish caught. |
|
Mining for Browns |
This is a video about brown trout. Big ones. Abandoned mining operations litter Montana's landscape. Surprisingly, some of the mining operations have provided fertile environments for trout to live, grow, and eat streamers. This is one such operation. |
