Georgia Fly Fishing

I created this attractor stonefly pattern to imitate the golden stonefly that’s found on many of our Georgia trout streams.  With all the stonefly patterns out there I wanted to come up with a pattern with the following characteristics.

A different look from traditional stonefly patterns
Create a pattern with both attractor qualities while still keeping the [...]

Fly Fishing Trips

Here are some photos from my first float down the Roaring Fork in November.  Will Sands, creator of the S.T.D. (Sands Tungsten Deception) and Kyle D. Holt, the guru on the Fork, took us out for a wild day of fishing.  My buddy Jared Darnell tagged along and put some awesome fish in the net.  [...]

Georgia Fly Fishing - Bruce Chard

My good friend, Capt. Bruce Chard graced us with one of his bonefish patterns.  This fly is guaranteed to work and it’s an easy tie.  Stock up your fly box before your next bonefish trip.  I know I’ll have a few of these guys stashed away in my saltwater box.  For more information on Capt. [...]

Bruce Chard’s Ultimate Bonefish School will be held Nov. 14-21, 2009 at Andros South Bonefish Lodge.  This school will be headed by legendary Florida Keys guide Capt. Bruce Chard.  In my opinion, it’s the most comprehensive and technical bonefish school in the industry, suitable from beginners to advanced fly fishermen.  There’s only two spots left [...]

My vote for the perfect beer

With all the posts around the blog world about the perfect fly fishing beer, I felt compelled to give you my favorite.  I know it’s cool to have a fish logo on the bottle or packaging but does that really give it justice to be THE BEER to drink?  I personally prefer to recommend a [...]

Klewein

I tied this pattern up on the road when I was out fishing the Trico hatch on the South Platte River in Colorado.  The idea came to mind when I saw clumps of a dozen or more Trico’s floating down the river together.  I haven’t seen any patterns like this yet in the industry and [...]

Florida Keys Flats Guide, Capt. Joel Dickey

Practice, Practice, Practice……
As winter arrives many people start dreaming of warmer weather… Many of these people are also thinking of making the transition from fly fishing in freshwater to fly fishing in saltwater. The fact that every outdoor channel in the world is showing some professional angler in an exotic destination chasing bonefish, permit, [...]

We’re asking everyone to take a few minutes out of their day and email our state representatives to stop the closing of the Lake Burton Fish Hatchery.  The closing is not for sure yet, but they have said they are planning on eliminating brown trout all together and potentially reducing the rainbow trout output [...]

25.5" Toccoa River Brown

Last week fly fishing on the Toccoa River my client landed this trophy brown trout of a lifetime.  Bo said, he’s fly fished all over the world and this is his biggest brown trout to date.  When is the southeast going to get some recognition for trout fishing? The exciting fight lasted over twenty minutes.  [...]

Yes, I know the Cicada’s have been gone for over four months now.  I just think this is a cool pattern I came up with.  The Cicada’s pretty much missed Georgia altogether this year so I didn’t get to try it on my home waters.  However, I did make a trip with my good friend [...]
