Dream day at BSD – Davy Wotton
Oh its been good on the White as Davy shares from one day on the water last week … As we near the last few days at BSD, my favorite haunt many memories of the many trophy fish we have caught spring to mind, particularly the number of Browns this past year not [...]
Big Fun On Dry Run Creek
Emails like the following one from Cord McClure in Ok make me glad I don’t have a real job. We had 9 kids from, I think 4 families, along with their parents wander into the shop last Friday, heading for Dry Run Creek. It was a real burst of energy, and it would have been [...]
Awesome Musky Images
TOSH Brown is one of those photographers whose work never ceases to blow me away _ When I heard he was up fishing with the Musky Tribe I knew it was going to inspire some epic photos. I wasn’t far wrong, seriously if you’re a musky fan or just want to see some amazing [...]
Monster Hopper Brown Trout – Fishing Report 10-26-11
I think the works “awesome” and “damn” fell from mouth when Ben Levin showed me the pics of this huge male brown taken by one his his fly fishers at the Bull Shoals Saturday. After I’d recovered a bit more “You are on a roll mate” This is the second 10lb+ plus Ben has put [...]
Davy Wotton’s BSD Report
Hot action continues at BSD with class Bows, all be it the Brown trout bite has slowed some which is typical at this time of the year as we near the spawning period. More so during levels of low water and blue bird skies these fish become very wary indeed, and will flee at [...]
Don’t Spit On Fluoro–Lefty
THE irrepressible Bernard Victor “Lefty” Kreh is still hard at it at 86 and showing no signs of slowing down. Lefty’s still fishing, thinking, taking photos, working on TFO rods and just being Lefty. I stumbled over an interview with Lefty on Cleveland.com this week, and amongst other musings Lefty dropped a little gem [...]
Fly Fishing Report: 10-20-11
IT has been another great week on the White River and Norfork Tailwater with a nice turn fall in the air and some goodly amounts of wading available. The mornings have been cool, but the days delightful, and it shouldn’t be all that long before the fall colors start coming out along the tailwaters. [...]
Zebra Midge Tying Video
THE Zebra Midge is pretty much a standard where-ever midges are found, just some thread, wire and a hook and bead. But I’ve said for several years that tying zebra style midges teaches you plenty about thread control, wrap counts , and building even bodies which are equally applicable across all your fly tying. After [...]
Sage One on One Review
The ONE is indeed a gutsy, special fly rod. I found myself thinking more about fishing, and less about casting when I used the ONE, and for that reason, I give it an “A” – Kirk Deeter WE have been really stoked at the response to the new Sage One rods _ there have [...]
WHAT A WEEKEND
WOW what a crazy fun hectic weekend we have just gone through. Some great water, good friends around, made some new ones, plenty of big fish and lots of fun on the river and in the shop. We are midway through October, the hoppers are still on the bite and I’m still wearing [...]
Musky Hunting at the NAFF
WE will be giving a presentation tonight on our Musky Trip to Wisconsin in September to the North Arkansas Fly Fishers in Mountain Home tomorrow night. I’ve been drafting up a presentation with our pictures from the trip, and will be giving a run down on getting prepped to chase these phenomenal predators. They really [...]
Welsh Ways and Flies
Its been a crazy hectic week over Conclave, and the days following, which is why we have been a little less than diligent on the Blog, but back to normal shortly. We have been tangled up with a bunch of 2012 ordering, and some to come for 2012, like the Diablo Paddlesports standup fishign kayak [...]
