Reel Job Fishing guide, Joel Dickey with a BIG Smallmouth

All of us (Eric Welch, Joel Dickey, Kent Klewein) had the day off last week, and we hit the road early in the morning to bass fish on Lake Chickamauga.  The day was flat out awesome, with us landing between 65-70 bass during the day.  We had to dodge some pretty nasty thunderstorms and we [...]

Fly Fishing with Hopper Patterns

Clients are sometimes surprised when I tell them we’re going to be fishing hoppers.  Many eastern fly fishermen assume fishing with grasshopper patterns is a tactic only used on western trout streams.  Yes, it is one of the most popular places to fish them, but I promise they can be very effective dry fly patterns [...]

Fly Tying: Estaz Zonker

Kent Klewein | August 24, 2009 Read This Post...

This is a great streamer pattern that’s tied by nationally renowned fly fishing guide Kevin Howell, from Davidson River Outfitters (DRO).  I’ve always looked up to Kevin Howell and I respect this man a great deal.  It’s been a pleasure competing with Kevin Howell and Walker Parrott in some fly fishing tournaments in the past, [...]

Toccoa River Tailwater Photo

Had a Toccoa River float trip this past Saturday with clients Ernie and Jim.  We had the river to ourselves until 10:30am and then the canoe rentals started coming down in full force.  All of them had stringers of trout trailing behind the canoes, with one boat that had harvested a 22-inch rainbow.  To say [...]

Alaska Bound Part 1

Kent Klewein | August 21, 2009 Read This Post...

Alaska is a fly fisherman’s utopia.  The wide range of species available for anglers to catch on the fly is among the highest of any destination for cold-water species.  Even better are the trophy size fish that you encounter here.  I don’t miss the 7 days a week guiding in Alaska, but I do miss [...]

I floated the Toccoa River Wednesday with some friends and we landed this nice wild brown trout just as the water was rising from generation.  The colors on this brown trout were exceptional.  The picture was taken with my phone, so I apologize for the poor picture quality.

Canadian Fly Fishing Video

I so0000….. wish there was a dedicated channel that played fly fishing videos exclusively.  I’d be in hog heaven.  I don’t know what it is about them, but I really enjoy watching independent fly fishing videos.  When you watch them you really get sucked in to the film.  Plus these guys always seem to add [...]

Klewein’s Hook-Up Beetle

Kent Klewein | August 19, 2009 Read This Post...

beetle_fly_pattern_hook-up-edit1

Recently I’ve been pondering the question can a hook down fly pattern increase trout refusals on dry flies.  The last month or so I’ve been fishing beetle patterns on many of my trout streams with good success, however, I have had my fair share of trout refusals even with some of my best patterns.
I developed [...]

I wanted to continue posting Louis Cahill’s photos from our trip out west. Below are some photos captured while fly fishing a tributary of the Snake River in Wyoming. The water was extremely high and off-colored from recent rains and winds were gusting into the 50mph range. Let’s just say it wasn’t [...]

Every once in a while you run into a fly fishing product that totally rocks.  Well, Korkers NEW Predator Wading Boot is by far the best wading boot that I’ve ever run accross.  I had a chance to help design this boot and it was such a pleasure dealing with a company that actually cared [...]

Joel Dickey and I finally got a chance with our busy schedules to get out and do some fly fishing in North Georgia.  We started the day off fly fishing the lower Toccoa River.  The night before we got enough rain to really dirty up the water.  It wasn’t very good fishing conditions for our [...]
