Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll get a copy.

That’s a solid idea. I’m going to come back to that pattern in a week a or two. I’ll give it a shot.

I struggled with calf body hair all weekend. I think aspects of the material and technique in this fly probably require more advanced skills than I have.

Thanks! I see that now. There are so many possibilities and iterations. I’m always happy to see your work.

Well said.

Thanks for clarifying.

CDC and deer hair caddis and Endrick spider. Both patterns I saw on this forum. I started tying a couple months ago because I enjoyed looking at the work posted by users here. The proportions of my flies are still inconsistent and I regularly use too much of all materials but it’s fun and...

I have a Lamiglas SI 723 C paired with a Shimano Curado 150 that I adore. It’s expensive but an absolute joy to cast and fish with anything from unweighted plastics to heavier top water lures.

There’s a lot of good recommendations in this thread. Trask by Don Berry, though not fishing related, is historical fiction about the man that pretty river is named after and the region it runs through.

Went 2/2 last Thursday. Both on a cerise and white hackle jig. A nice hatchery buck and a surprisingly late wild coho. By Friday the water had dropped and become clear, the cloud cover was gone, and I had no luck. I’m curious to know what patterns you guys have confidence in when float...

We are. We’re fortunate to live a short walk away from a fishy stream so we spend a ridiculous amount of time on the water and fly fishing became a new game to play together. It’s fun and I feel lucky.
