Capt. Joel Dickey just submitted me this killer tarpon pattern for all you saltwater fly fishermen out there. I fished this pattern with Joel last year and we jumped multiple poons with it, YEAH BABY! I like the natural colors, which at times can be a much better color choice than your typical bold chartreuse [...]

I’ve had a lot of clients asking me about lodging lately and I finally have a professional first-class Cabin Rental company I can confidently recommend to my clients. Escape to Blue Ridge, understands how important it is to pay attention to the details, no matter how small they may be. And the companies customer service [...]

I designed this pattern primarily for bass fishing on Lake Blue Ridge, but it will catch anything that eats forage fish. Yes, that means big trout as well. The pattern is articulated which gives it great action in the water, and I truly feel fish have a harder time spitting a fly that’s articulated. I [...]

The long awaited Mother’s Day Caddisfly hatch is right around the corner. We could start seeing sporadic black caddis hatching any day now. Each year the hatch moves around a little, but you can’t go wrong to book your guided float trip during the 2nd or 3rd week of February. Our favorite trout species on [...]

The Yuk Bug in my opinion is a real under rated fly pattern. Although it is primarily an attractor wet fly pattern, its functionality covers a wide range of fishing situations. Try this pattern instead of a woolly bugger next time your out on the water trout fishing. I guarantee it’s seen less often by [...]

Stranahan’s Story
Great Minds Drink Alike
Full-bodied as the fire that bore it, this whiskey glowed amber from the start. When volunteer firefighter Jess Graber responded to a neighbor’s barn fire down the road, he never imagined any good could come of it. But the barn he made effort to save belonged to George Stranahan, long-time liquor [...]

Here’s a Bonefish leader formula that I came up with over the years that works wonders for casting accurately and turning over your leader in windy conditions. I like to use semi hard to hard mono for my saltwater leaders. This helps to fight the wind and lay out the fly straight into a stiff [...]

NEW DATES SET for BAHAMAS BONEFISH SCHOOL
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 [...]

Here’s a couple photos from a half-day guided trip at Noontootla Creek Farms with Chris Tennant. We hooked up with some giants but many of them got the better of us by spitting our barbless hooks and breaking us off on snags. Sometimes you just have to look back and say I fought that fish [...]

Guided John Landowski on a float trip down the Toccoa River yesterday. We had the river to ourselves, which reminded me of the norm four years ago when it wasn’t uncommon to be the only drift boat on the river. We took advantage of the open water and took our time sight-fishing to feeding trout. [...]

The snow has been falling the last couple of days, and the temperatures have been brutally cold. The icy roads, icy rod guides, frozen stiff reels, and near frostbite fingers weren’t for the faint of heart. Despite the freezing conditions, it didn’t stop Louis and I from hitting the river. Having a few days between [...]

After last nights temperatures dropping below 10 degrees the Upper Toccoa River comes very close to freezing completely across on some sections. It looks like the weather is going to warm up a bit the rest of the weekend. Fishing should be bareable on Sunday. Dress warm and hit the river. I know I am!

This is a simple tie and very effective pattern anywhere there are midges. I always have at least a half dozen of these flies in my box. Don’t make the mistake like many anglers, who look at the simplicity of this fly and write it off.

After seeing the artic weather today I’m really glad I spent the previous two days guiding Alan Lin at NCF, instead of today and tomorrow. By the end of the second day of guiding the trout were really starting to turn off from the cold front. It also didn’t help much to have continuous ice [...]

If your heading to the river today you’ve got my vote for being a trooper. I was on the river guiding yesterday, which was much warmer than today, and I still dealt with frozen guides, ice-coated flyline and leaders. The fishing started to turn off with the drop in temperatures after lunch. Expect the trout [...]
