Goto a stream around here. Find a riffle and pick up a rock. You will see these small cone shaped shells dangling on the rocks. These are the cases for one variety of caddisfly. In an attempt to create something similar I used the basis from a recipe from charliesflybox.com. …
I managed to get sick and stayed home from work on the last day of the season. I watched from the couch as the sun went down on the last day of trout fishing. This was my first season and frankly I didn’t realize that I could have been fishing …
Decided to go and explore a new stream before the end of the season. When I arrived I must admit I was alittle discouraged by the size, often it was no more than three feet across. I decided rather than going for the safety of a stream I knew I …
Cloudy day on the water today, I think the temp was only 68 at the high point in the morning. I chose to head south of 90 to see if I could find trout in a new spot before the season ends. I drove and enjoyed the morning drinking my …
Arrived at water edge at 7:15. The sun had yet to crest over the bluff behind me. I watched as no wind created a very slow moving pond at one of my favorite spots. Fish were rising. I started with a larger terrestrial which in hindsight was a mistake thinking …
I was looking through quite a few of my pictures today and found a few I hadn’t posted. The bigger ones were nice and frankly probably some of the largest I managed to net this season. The small ones, I was always surprised I didn’t rip there face off or …
No Pictures, No Fish. I went out, to the same spot as the last two times just to continue the experiment. I tried the same tato-scud/indicator rig for five casts and moved on. Had some problems with getting snagged a few times. I didn’t have the time I wanted and felt …
So being fairly new, i.e. this is my first summer seriously fishing for trout, I didn’t fully understand what a friend of mine at work meant when he said he couldn’t wait for “hopper” season. Honestly, hindsight makes me think how could I not have known what he meant but …
Went out for a few more hours of hunting. I wanted to do an experiment to see what affect a few changes have so I went back to the exact same spot I tried last night at the same time. The weather conditions were almost exactly the same. The trout …
I fished one stream north of 90 today working my way from spot to spot stopping at four places along the stream. I had little to no luck for the first three hours I was out. I caught something on my fire fly streamer that looked like a large shiner …
