    REVIEW: Simms Flyweight Access Wading Boot (Photo heavy)

    I wade a lot of miles, so I don’t expect gear (especially boots) to last forever… that said, I expected a lot more than what I experienced… I just ordered a pair of Patagonia Forra boots… I doubt they are the last pair I ever own, but hopefully they’ll work out well..

    REVIEW: Simms Flyweight Access Wading Boot (Photo heavy)

    In order to give the most complete (and hopefully objective) overview of the Simms Flyweight Access Wading Boot, I am going to address various aspects of my experience with these boots. They have a couple very strong positives and also some very strong negatives to discuss: The Claim: Simms...

    Why so many nymphs with black beads?

    Oddly enough, bass prefer Mongolian throat singing… my guess is that they pick up the low tones on their lateral lines… anything by The Hu will work for any species of bass, and also golden dorado…

    Why so many nymphs with black beads?

    There are very few secrets in fly fishing… but this is one of them… it works great in large fish, and it is essential for carp fishing…. Carp like Dwight Yoakam songs, Whitefish prefer Hank Williams… Trout don’t seem to be too picky…so I mix it up… 😂

    Why so many nymphs with black beads?

    That makes sense… I don’t fish Stillwater, so I hadn’t considered that possibility… The chinook… I was trout fishing a river in the early fall with my normal setup… a 3wt, with a dbl nymph rig on 6lb tippet…had not seen any signs of salmon and had no idea they’d entered the river…. I was...

    Why so many nymphs with black beads?

    That’s my assumption as well… it’s an effort to make the bead “disappear”… and look closer to a beadless nymph… so, you’d think it should fish as well or better in pressured situations… and equally in non pressured situations… but I have caught 0 fish on matte black beads… which maybe just means...

    Why so many nymphs with black beads?

    As of late, it seems like more and more commercial nymphs are being tied with black beads? Why is this? Is there an advantage over bright beads ( nickel or brass)? I’ve tried a number of flies that have black beads… they are really cool looking… but I haven’t had very good results… and I’m to...

    What are you listening to?

    This is the Avett Brothers, before they were the Avett Brothers. Not nearly as polished as their later music, but you can definitely understand feel the punk/rock influence that they later combined with folksy music, and their dads influence (bluegrass musician). This whole album is raw, unlike...

    Riverstick Custom Wading Staffs

    Hey Otter: The cord I use is a paracord daisy chain. I use Uni-to-Uni knots, each section is 6” long… 3 total sections so the total length is 18”… this gives me enough room to maneuver with the staff, and it isn’t too long so I can easily retrieve the staff if I drop it… Hope this helps…
