Brings back exciting memories of fresh water streams and learning to tie flies . Picky fish on the beaverkill helped me once moved to Florida... sanibel island area . Applying that I learned how fish key in on certain forage in saltwater as well . I dearly miss hendricksons pool where I caught a 28 in brown on a teeny nymph pattern.

Hi Bob, Your web pag...

Hi Bob, Your web page is outstanding and it shows all the places I fish on the Beaverkill and area rivers and streams. I caught my first trout on the Beaverkill standing on Piano Rock at Hendrickson Pool .This area I was the person that developed the newer version of the Thorax Dry Fly that is the most popular tied these days and during this time I develope Overton's Wonder Wax .. I now live in Libby, Montana that is much like the Roscoe area .
So I thank you for what you have done here...Glenn Overton

How do you get to painters bend from the Roscoe Diner? What river houses the largest trout. Last Memorial Day weekend 2008, I caught some bruisers at The Roscoe Campground all on Lure, and yes I threw them back. The next day a friend of mine home on leave from Iraq caught and released over 50 trout from Cairn's Pool. The trout were so abundant they were swimming around us like sharks on a wreckage.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
