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...

Kayak spills, a couple times, while Fishing

We caught a really nice Guadalupe bass on this trip, but was it worth it? Both of us dumped, and it was a long exhausting day.

Size 30 Black Beauty Midge

Midges are small, at least the vast majority of them are. Especially in western tail waters like the San Juan river.

Small Looped Zonker Streamer

So while this rabbit strip (zonker) style streamer is a relatively simple pattern concept, it still takes some effort to tie correctly and you have to get the proportions just right to make it look

The Texas Gulf

Seems like every time I go to corpus, I don't catch many fish. There must be a curse because I will only catch when its either too dark to film properly or the camera dies.

No Waste CDC Caddis

This Caddis utilizes CDC feathers that have been used already on other flies. Many times (with quite a few patterns) you will use just the tip of the CDC feather.

Last Chance Cripple

Last Chance Cripples mimic an emerging mayfly (PMD to be exact) that has a crippled wing or cannot emerge from its casing.

Redfish Cracklin

The Redfish Crack is a very effective pattern for many species like speckled trout, redfish, and flounder in the gulf of Mexico.

Everglades Special

The Everglades Special is an EP style saltwater streamer fly that is a specific coloration. This is a popular color pattern for, you guessed it, the everglades.

Copper John

The copper John really does not mimic many species of aquatic bugs. In fact, it doesn't really resemble any of them.

Fly fishing for Sunfish

Last week Paul and I went out to kayak fish the Medina and had a blast. The water was super clear though and we could not get any fish to bite.

Kayak Fishing the Medina River

The Medina river was filled with fish, beautiful, and had amazing structure. It had the makings of what could have been an amazing day fishing!

Dragonfly nymph

Dragonfly and damselfly Nymphs are tasty snacks for may fish species. They are larger than many other aquatic bugs and therefor fish are more willing to move out of their hole for one.

The Better Bodkin

Have you ever had to replace a bodkin because it got gummy from head cement or UV resin? Have you ever bent a bodkin while picking out dubbing? Hate spending that money repeatedly?

Best way to tie a wooly bugger?

The wooly bugger is one of the most versatile and widely used streamer patterns ever created. Because of this, multiple ways of tying it have evolved.

Micro Crayfish

I just moved to South Texas and small crayfish patterns tend to work very well for smallmouth bass, Guadalupe bass, panfish and the Rio Ciclids.

Dry fly fishing in Texas?!

I was really starting to miss the small creeks and dry fly fishing in Colorado. I think I mentioned that to Paul like 10 times on the last trip, and so he took me to this little creek to catch fish o...

Redfish Crack

Redfish are a fish that are tough on flies, so a redfish fly should be very durable. The redfish crack is an all synthetic take on the redfish slider, so it’s much more durable.

Rio Getter

This fly is a very versatile pattern. It was created by Matt Bennet to fish Rio ciclids. But when tied a little larger, it can be very effective for just about every species of fish in south texas r...

Llano bug

The Llano bug from what I was told was designed and developed for a river called the Llano River. It was at one time, one of the most popular rivers to fish in Texas and still holds some good sport f...

Big Bass Hopper 2.0

Hopefully you guys saw my video on the large “Texas sized” grasshopper. This hopper was created for bass and is a very large hopper pattern.
