Novembers fly o’week

The Copper John is a popular and effective pattern has taken the fly fishing world by storm. This fly sinks quickly and can be used as a deep nymph or a dropper. Fish seem unable to resist the combination of color, flash, and realistic shape. it is best fished where mayflies or stoneflies are common and even works in certain lake situations. Most guides and serious anglers never enter the river without several sizes, colors, and variations of this pattern in the fly box.

Fly of the Week:

Pale Morning Duns (PMDs) usually hatch mid to late morning. But, during some magic days, hatches can continue into the late afternoon. In our local rivers these hatches start in June and run into August.

In Search of Mr Green Drake

There our those times that you get something on you mind and its all you want to do and think about. With me it happens all the time. I am a very passionate person when I get my mind wrap around a subject. About a month ago it was Green Drakes. They were the target and I was going to do anything to find them and imiate them. It first started with tying a whole new box of them, then I had gotten a tip from a friend to there current location and with a free Saturday I was now chasing them with my friend Hoss. The hunt didn’t go as planned, We didn’t see one Green Drake all day. But it was OK because during the chase we were able to witness a great PMD hatch, Caddis hatch, and Stone Fly hatch to fill the void. Best of all I was able to use some of the big drakes that I tied and they work as if the hatch was on fire. I don’t know excatly what it is, but there is something special about being on a trout stream from 8am -9:30pm. You are tired, beat, hungry, and completely refresthed with the the things that you have seem and learned as the day changed. It was a great day…

Fly Of The Week #2

Fly Of The Week: Green Drake

These large insects are trout candy on our western streams. Green drakes are the largest mayflies that provide fishable hatches in our fast local waters. Hatches occur during mid-day and are usually easily visible. Windless, cloud-cover days are best. Green Drakes are large insects and evidently taste really good to trout. When Green Drakes hatch in good numbers the trout forget all other foods and target them only. A dense hatch of Green Drakes can bring the largest trout to the surface. But, Green Drakes are fickle and somewhat unpredictable. Some days have heavy hatches others very light. Some regions of a stream will have more insects than others. Green Drake hatches are something that the fully armed angler prepares for, even though it may not be the main target. However, if you ever encounter a major Green Drake hatch and are unprepared you will remember it with sorrow.

The Fly Fishing Den

So I have always wanted to create a real fly tying desk. One that’s sole purpose is to be used to tie flies and do outdoors stuff at. (A Total Guys Hangout Place) After much careful thought I finally did it. In our extra room which is now used as a computer room there is a large walk in closet. It used to be kind of a storage room where I put all my outdoor stuff. But now it has been revamped as my own personal fly fishing room. I am going to be spending lots of time in there getting ready for the Frenzy and just hanging out reading fishing magazines and doing guys stuff.
