I'm learning to fish lakes again and have the privilege of fishing a private lake that some members of a couple of local fly clubs have created a partnership to stock. Tuesday I was trolling a beadhead black & red SimiSeal leech on an intermediate line with no results when I got to a spot about...

Is anyone using craft beads? A few years back at an IFF Washington Fly Fishing Fair, there seemed to be a theme going on among many of the fly tiers with low cost alternative materials. One of which was beads. I stopped by a local bead specialty store and was amazed by the variety and the very...

I’ve had these for a number of years but I didn't fish still water a lot. The fins and straps are in good condition but the foam “heel strap wraps” (pads) wore out. The good news is if you really think they are necessary new “wraps” (pads) can be fashioned from heavy rubber tubing, foam...

I came across this in a Tenkara forum from an angler who believes analysis of colors that attract fish to strike lures and power bait could apply to (hotspot) colors for fly tying. It is interesting that often the colors look completely different when underwater. This video is unique in that...

I always carry my cell phone with me fishing and hiking so I can use a fishing log, Fish Washington, Gaia maps, and a couple of other apps when I'm out. I kept it in my sling pack's strap pocket for instant access. But I took a quick "dip" while wet wading last week and surprise, surprise, the...

I've been fly fishing since 1976. When I bought a Tenkara rod in 2017, I found the "Discover Tenkara" channel on YouTube. DT was started by a couple of anglers and guides in Great Britain; freshwater biologist Dr Paul Gaskell & John Pearson. I subscribed to and studied their DT YT channel videos...

I been fly fishing for almost 50 years but haven't fished lakes much. I am brand new to fish finder-sonar and just bought a nice Garmin Striker 4 fish finder. My only frame of reference is USAF fighter interceptor weapons system radar that displayed target relative vertical & horizontal...

I need some booties for float tubing. I started out many years ago with some rather inexpensive Orvis booties to use with (1st gen) Force Fins. The Orvis booties had a flexible sole with no real support. Kicking around for a couple of hours in a float tube gave me excruciating cramps in my...

I want to replace a float tube with an internal PVC bladder that I've had problems with leaking at the valve. Cleaning the valve & bladder inner-outer surfaces has not helped. The mfg is not responding to questions about (in-warranty or even purchase) of a bladder and/or valve. I've had a...
