Medina in the Winter

Bass, Sunfish, Carp, Catfish all are mainly warm water fish. The Medina is a warm water fishery but a cold front moved in. This dropped the temps and definitely slowed down the fishing.

Hybrid Carp Fly

Carp are interesting fish. And the flies most people use to fish for them are even more interesting. Some very simple, some very complicated.

Wooly Bugger

The internet is not short of wooly bugger videos, however I figured I would show a few extra techniques like dubbing a body and what type of feathers I like to use.

Craft Fur Clouser

Craft Fur Clousers aren't like deer hair closures. Sure they look similar, and tied in similarly as well.

GFI Hopper

This pattern is awesome for trout, sunfish, bass, and anything that will eat a grasshopper. It also can be tied in black to mimic a cricket really easily as well.

Some nice bass!

I went out fishing at the Medina River near San Antonio Texas with my new Risen 4wt fly rod and caught some nice bass. If you haven't fished this river before, its beautiful!

Fishing in a Texas City

I am fishing in the Breckenridge park once again, in down town San Antonio. Its a beautiful park with beautiful fish. These Rio's are some of the biggest ive seen, and are easy to catch here.

$100 rods worth it?

I own all three versions of the Risen Genesis fly rod. The 7'6" 3wt, the 9' 5wt and the 9' 8wt. All of them fish amazingly for the cost.

The Perfect Egg

Clown eggs, and egg patterns in general are a great fly to fish trout, especially stocked trout. Granted they at times have a bad rap, and I probably wouldn't fish them on a remote stream with wild t...

Copper John

The Copper John is a classic pattern that has been around for ages, and also its one of the most popular attractor and lead fly ever created.

Fishing the San Antonio Riverwalk

The San Antonio Riverwalk is a major tourist destination. Probably the top tourist destination for San Antonio. Well that and the Alamo.

Panfish Gurgler

This small top water gurgler is a fly that has caught me lots of fish over the last few trips. There are a lot of little frogs that are hopping all over the place, and they are light colored.

My sons first River Trip

Fly fishing on a river has different challenges than just a small lake. I really wanted to take my son out to the river to catch some fish, so he could start to learn how to deal with them.

Bully Bluegill

A great fly pattern is one that is not only effective, but also very easy to tie. This fly is just that.

South Texas fishing with a 3wt

I went fishing with my new Risen 3wt fly rod. The Genesis rod and new Armor 2 reel. Great setup for under $200! This thing performed wonderfully on the bass, sunfish and Rio Grand cichlids!

Western Coachman

The Royal Coachman is a dry fly I have fished before, and absolutely love! I also love the Royal Wulff as well which is very similar with a different tail.

Perdigon

So the perdigon fly has become very popular in recent months, and for good reason. They are quick and simple to tie, they drift hook point up (so less snags) and they are very effective and versatile...

Fishing not Allowed

So, I took my son fishing with his brand new fly rod, and we got kicked out of the park. Apparently San Antonio had closed down all parks due to covid.

Kwan Fly

Here is another tying session video where you join me in me tying some flies for customers. This one happens to be the Kwan fly, which is a great saltwater pattern.

Teaching a kid to fly fish

Fly fishing with kids can be difficult, especially young kids. My boy is 6 years old, and for many people this is too young to take fly fishing.

Split Tail Shad

EP (Enrico Puglisi) style flies are quite popular. They have been staples in many saltwater and warm water fly Fishermans boxes for years.

Brushy Creek in Texas.

Brushy Creek is a small river up north of Austin Texas, that travels through Round Rock. I didn't get to fish the entire stretch, but what I fished looked really pretty and nice.

Guides Choice Hares Ear Jig

Guides choice hares ears are in my opinion one of the best summer months swinging flies. It mimics a caddis emerging perfectly, Its got just the right amount of flash to get the fish's attention, th...

Quarantine Fishing

I am quarantined like the rest of the United States, but I really wanted to get outside and fish. Fishing is one of those activities you can do and be socially distant so I felt really safe doing thi...
