General announcement....

Not that I am soliciting, but for those that purchase flies from me. I am going to be tying the majority of Pyramid patterns used this year, midges, Woollys, beetles and tadpoles and maybe a few new ones, in the next few weeks. If you need to purchase Pyramid pattens from me please get e-mail or call and place your order soon, within the next couple of weeks. This also goes for larger orders for fly shops.

Good morning to all,

The real trick is to throw the heavy line and get the fish to bite it. That is when you know you are doing everything correctly. Right location, right time of day, right fly line, right depth, right fly. Its easy to get bit while using lite line, but isn't it more of a game to get bit on the heaviest line possible? Besides it has the two fold effect of being able to land a big fish once you have it on and the big diameter line allows you to land it in a shorter time frame to make the fish easier to revive.

What is Everything Stillwater?

ES is a favorite place for me to go. For the most part we converse about trout, large trout, that we persue in the stillwaters of the western United States. It not only covers trout, but whatever other species chase and eat a well presented fly.
