I am thinking about options to catch my first chum. From what I have read, the situation on the Miami and Kilchis from the bank isn't very fly friendly. Is it possible to just walk a little bit from the bridge access points and find space? Is it a crazy idea to fish from a canoe around low...

And from Lassen Volcano NP earlier this week

A handful from a trip to the OP about a month ago

Sabalo. I read they were algea eaters so I brought some milkfish type flies. Problem is they suck the algea off the rocks - the darker areas are where the sabalo have sucked the algea off the rock. Hard presentation to master. I tried dead drifting flies through groups and they ignored...

I would have been upset too. I was thinking about posting a similar question. Sorry if this is a hijack. Yesterday I was fishing a popular run down from the Mecca campground on the Deschutes. A young couple walks down to the river 15 feet from my backpack and other rods on the bank and ask...

I first learned of kanekalon on a east cape Baja trip in 2020 - our guide liked it for his roosterfish flies. I use it on my LBM jig. I would say the stiffness is: craft fur < nayat < kanekalon < bucktail Not all brands of wig hair are the same stiffness though. I bought one pack that is...

No. That is a gurgler tied with a kanekalon tail and some other kind of dubbing for the body. Not my fly.
