OK, test time! What is the most useless part of a fly rod? A hint: it seems to be useful, but only gets in the way and actually hinders the purpose for which it is supposedly intended. The hook keeper is the most useless part of the fly rod. In fact it is no longer part of most custom built rods, and some high end commercial offerings. What makes me say these things? Well, first of all even when several of my rods had hook keepers, I kept getting my lines tangled around
Things I Think I Know; Things I Usually Do; and Some Things I Just Like.
In Tip 12 I got on my soap box about showing respect for the targets of our fly fishing efforts. I was mainly on a rant brought on by the seemingly increasing numbers of fishers who wade across redds increasing fish mortality and decreasing survival. Well thanks to a couple of folks who read the piece and reminded me of another big problem brought on by disrespect and downright ignorance, I’m putting one foot back on the aforementioned box. Stop leaving trash on banks or t

You have now acquired your equipment, got it properly rigged and selected the fly or flies you intend to use to start the day. Then, on your fifth cast of the day, you get a strike. Now what? We’re going to talk a bit about what to do next. As with several other considerations it makes a difference whether you are fishing flowing or flat water. And if flowi

In this Tip we’re going to talk a little more about rigging up, and I’ll be sharing some of my biases about what flies to use around here. The waters available to us are indeed wonderful. Some times of the year are better than others for nymphs, versus streamers, versus dries. But on a given day we are likely to have action on any type of fly. Or the fish may seem to avoid a given type of fly! Stupid fish! One day they will be taking weighted nymphs well, and the next d
