Shucked Up Emerger

See video in full resolution

A concoction Richard Strolis came up with last March prior to leaving for the Bighorn and the olive hatches that he were to fish there. Something a bit different from the norm. And it worked very well. Tie em all the colors and sizes to imitate your prevailing mayfly hatch.

Blog Creek – GFF's weblog. See what we muse about right now:

Some things make no sense, but we do them anyway - like driving 3 hours out and 3 hours home to go shopping.

Innocent fly anglers can also be lured into spending money on odd and probably worthless causes and products.

Carp fishing with a fly has been suggested to me several times, but I never tried it.

Next article "Red Gold" to be published in less than 5 hours

More about "Sinister Phly"

Sinister Phly

Area61: Another variation on large saltwater flies from the hands of Pete Gray. Mainly for striped bass, but useful for other specied too. This is the sinister version for fishing in darkness - or for dead drifting at O'dark thirty as Pete puts it.

Go to the article "Carp on the Fly"

Carp on the Fly

Carpin': "Carolina blue skies, light and variable wind forecast with temperatures in the 90s were working to my advantage this July morning." Read Capt. Paul Rose's advice on carp fishing. Tactics, gear and flies. "Pound for pound their fighting ability surpasses all other freshwater fish."

Aux Outardes River Pike

Pike: Pike fishing is not only possible in lakes. Some rivers offer great pike fishing, and there is no end to the number of great new fishing spots in Quebec's Aux Outardes River. The cold clear water offers fantastic trophy pike fishing.
Hunt trophies in Canada here.

Find "Phar Side Phly" here

Phar Side Phly

PhuzzieNotions: They all start out as PhuzzieNotions [R&D ideas rattling around in Pete Gray's noggin and looking for a place to happen]... and then materialize into PharSidePhlyz. Saltwater flies can all start here and become almost anything.
Follow Pete Gray... if you can!

Directly to "The Source - Tasmania"

The Source - Tasmania

Review: A more than beautiful account of the fishing in a fairly unknown destination: Tasmania. Lots of variation, lots of fish and lots of stunning landscapes and locations. Filmed in breathtaking HD by Australian Nick Reygeart.

Go to "Breaking the LAW"

Breaking the LAW

Reel love: Martin had a tremendous fly reel breakdown this past season! Upon returning from a fishing trip he did one one the rare maintenance rinses of his LAW-reel, and noticed that the small rubber tube holding the ratchet had cracked. Disaster!
Read about Martin and his reels here.

Jan's Giant Buzzers

Giant Buzzers: I have always loved fishing buzzers for many years for trout, its just my favorite way of fly fishing except perhaps daddylonglegs. Most of my fishing is on reservoirs sometimes desolate windy rough places, where buzzers come into their own.

Find "The Perfect Woolly" on this page

The Perfect Woolly

Bugger!: Many flies were developed from the Woolly Bugger, German Raoul Kempkes got back to it and created a very simple pattern which is extremely durable and very easy to tie. Only a few materials are needed to tie a great pattern which is highly versatile. The perfect Woolly Bugger!

Jim Roszel

Fishy Art: "I have been an artist and fisherman my entire life. I realized a few years ago after catching a giant striped bass that I wanted a way to remember the fish so I painted the fish life-size with all of the details of the catch." says painter Jim Roszel.

Jump to "A Passion for Pike"

A Passion for Pike

Review: A book solely concentrating on fishing for pike by Dutch artist and avid pike angler Ad Swier. This book will take you around the subject of fishing for the toothy predator. As an angler with a smaller passion than the author's, but still a passion for pike, Martin thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Click to see "Tying Furled Flies"

Tying Furled Flies

Review: Hanley's pragmatic and productive approach to a specific tying method: using furled pieces of material to create elongated shapes of different kinds. Used to tie all types of flies from mayflies over large damsels to small fish. Richly illustrated with great tying and fishing pictures.
