Monday brought us 35mph winds, Tuesday brought us more wind and two inches of rain, and Wednesday brought us blown out streams. The weather lately has been tough for fishing for sure, but when I get dealt this hand I hit the tying bench to restock my fly boxes. Generation on the Toccoa River has [...]

Just finished tying up a batch of this attractor stonefly pattern I came up with specifically for freshly stocked trout on delayed harvest trout water. You can see it’s pretty colorful, which is designed to get the trout’s attention. Give this pattern a try next time you hit the early season delayed harvest trout water. [...]

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, [...]

I tied this up to imitate all the emerging caddis on our rivers and streams. For the next few months nymphing or dropping this fly off the back of a dry fly will bring a ton of trout to the net. Apologize for the shawty photos. I’m looking at getting a new camera shortly. Hook: [...]

TJ Zandoli just finished sending me over this spoon fly pattern. These guys are great flies for all sorts of species and they aren’t hard to tie as long as you have the right materials. Below are some photos of TJ’s pattern, and I’ve attached a link that will take you to a website that [...]

I grew up fly fishing local farm ponds and lakes as a kid, and there’s no doubt the time I spent chasing down bass contributed greatly to my love of fly fishing. With the great innovations in fly tying materials this day in age, balsa wood poppers have fallen off the map. They’re just too [...]
