Looks like we’ve got a real clear winner jumping to the top quickly!!!

Hi All, Need your thoughts and advice please. I have a 16’ Clackacraft FFB with the ‘standard’ set of oars. Nothing fancy - just the plastic set. I’d like to upgrade them at some point but can’t make sense of material, shape, or manufacture. Anyone favorites out there that you love? Or...

Ah, here we go. This it right here. Might need to quit greeting the delivery driver at the door with a smile though. Could get awkward pretty quick. (And if you’re wondering, the answer is yes. I’m gonna keep posting as these beauties roll in. Don’t even try to take this joy away from me. 😃)

Oh snap, I think I know what’s in that box. It’s happening kids…

Man…you nailed it. The YouTube tying video quality is off the charts good. And the amount of stuff that gets pushed in online content in general just gets exhausting…I guess there’s no reason for fly fishing to be immune from it though. It just feels gross. Interesting observation about...

Cant believe I fell this out of touch with fly prices, but flies are crazy expensive now. I’m seeing anywhere from $3.00 to $4.00+ per nymph. I’ve always told people that tying flies isn’t about saving money. It’s about your creativity, getting a pattern no one else has, stuff like that. But...

This place doesn’t suck…

In case anyones wondering the mop fly is literally made from a mop. Currently scouring the closets for tying material…

I always liked to think the ribbing was the problem…I guess fish just hate me.

Hadn’t even heard of a mop fly in my 25 yrs fly fishing! Checking them out now!!

Hi All, Long-time trout angler that’s finally breaking down and getting into this euro nymph ‘fad’ that’s been spreading. 🤠 Question on the flies… After looking at patterns online, it seems like anything goes with these as long as they stay sparsely dressed with non-buoyant material. No...

Challenge accepted! Haha. I’ll need to check this stuff out next time I’m at the fly shop.

Nice fly…looks great. I’m not familiar with this fly style but I think a micro version of this could be deadly for trout in lakes. I’d see it replacing my simple marabou leech patterns pretty quick. (Edit: I also literally can’t remember the last time I fished a lake…but you know, if I did...

Was just working on some Muddler variations this morning…

Now we’re talkin! Nice work!!!

Strong recommend for Central to Northern BC trout fishing…both rivers and lakes. Amazing experience and if you stay away from steelhead rivers, you’re more likely to have many places to yourself.

Just knocked out my first batch of flies. 🤠 Since this caused me to finally dug out my tying stuff (haven’t tied in about three years) I might move on to a second set. Feels like I’m just starting to figure out this tying thing again…having some fun with it. (And just like all of you special...

Hah! The wild roses…just awful. And I never seem to be out when they’re blooming to enjoy the beauty.

Oh yah…I’ve been down these roads. Throw some Himalayan Blackberry and a down puffy jacket in the mix for a real fun time. The logical side of me says I should just golf more and avoid this stuff. But I’m good at ignoring that kind of thinking…

Alright…I couldn’t find the exact bags I was looking for but I did uncover these guys though. Free for the taking if you want to visit Tualatin. And incorporate them into our fly swap somehow. Also happy to snail mail them if that’s easier. Otherwise, Portland Fly Shop is prob your next option.
