It was about 1978 when I started my career as a fishing guide on the Madison. Back then, no one ever seriously fished wet flies, streamers or nymphs.

What Size Leader to Use

I remember working in my uncle’s fly shop as a kid trying to decipher the leader board. 9 foot 3X, 7-1/2 foot 0X…by the time I got it all up on the board there were over 30 different leaders to choose from. Which one do I need for how I am fishing?

Big Fall Fishing

I went out to my car yesterday morning and what did I find? Just imagine. Ice! Only three weeks into August and I already have ice on my windshield. My first thought was "oh no there goes my garden." But it was my second thought that really got me fired up – brown trout.

The Big Day

Knowing that we needed to get up early, we decided to prep and pack that evening. We loaded the car with fly rods, backpacks, water, etc. The boys came over and gave a hand. We had them start thinking of the things they need for tomorrow. Sunscreen, bug spray, sunglasses, hat, etc.

Interesting and New Products at ICAST

Last week I was in Florida for ICAST, the world’s largest sport fishing trade show, checking out the latest innovations in fishing gear and accessories. I was surprised how large the fishing industry as a whole seems to be compared with the niche of fly-fishing. There was a noticeable change in culture as I walked from the fly fishing area to the bass and saltwater sections.
