The River is certainly wide enough to fish 2,3, or even 4 across. We usually fish up one side and then down the other, concentrating on the edges and any kind of structure - big boulders, limbs, tires, etc. along the way. Robb Nicewonger Photo.

This is my brother's brother-in-law, Slim, with one of the smaller bronzebacks from the River. What these little guys lack in size, the make up in sheer numbers and agressive hits. Slim wasn't flyfishing, but spin casting with a Mr. Twister type grub on a 1/4 oz jig. This is arguably the best bait you can use in the river, especially in shades of brown. Slim outfished us 2:1 this day, causing me to start to experiment at the vise with Mr. Twister type plastic tails--more to come on this later. Robb Nicewonger Photo.

I don't have any pictures of me with bass, so here's the next best thing. My daughter and I spotting fish on a warm July afternoon. Its never too early to get the little ones started.

A few random articles for your entertainment The measure tape II Jari Wiklund participated in the Danish Fly Casting Championships and finished second. Read his report from the event and his reflections about casting for the sake of casting and (almost) not a word about fishing. He quotes Lefty Kreh who said: June 25th 2006 Green Machine The Green Machine is a classic salmon fly from the Eastern part of Canada. It's fished as a wet fly in spite of being tied with deer hair and a hackle like a bomber. This article shows you step by step how to tie it and shows an alternative and easier way to create the green body. November 28th 2008 Mango The Mickey Finn is one of the first streamers many beginning fly tyers learn to tie. Kasper Mühlbach never used it and for years a yellow and orange fly was missing in his fly box. Last year he was inspired to tie a replacement.
