I tied these two fly patterns up a few weeks back but never posted any pictures. Take a look and let me know what you think of their Basstastic ability. This fly is made of two hooks and probably leans more towards the Muskie/Pike world but I decided to put together a perch pattern with [...]
Last night at 11:46pm I came to the realization that after all of the hard work and fanfare over my new DIY fly tying desk, I neglected to actually tie anything on it. Two weeks with no fly tying makes me cranky… With a burning desire to put some Bigmouths on the end of my new Sage [...]
What started as a simple DIY woodworking project turned into a full blown piece of furniture. I use the term DIY but be warned this project may require some of the skills your learned in high school shop class. Before I dig in here, I want to share a link from Pinterest. My fly tying [...]

Is Tenkara fishing a fad? Could Tenkara be some sort of cult that is brainwashing the fragile young minds of the fly fishing world? Could Owl Jones be right? I’m not really sure about any of any of the recent internet banter surrounding Tenkara fishing but boy, Tenkara USA had a pretty booth! While I’m still trying [...]
I took a quick trip to Cabela’s today. Before any shopping could be done, there was an urgent need for some good ol’ fashioned “health” food. A buffet was in order! I went to Cabela’s to try and find an 8wt TFO Clouser and some line. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any in stock. Looks like [...]
Where will I be at the end of the month? Woo hoo!
