Temperature Triggers

I came across this photo of an article that I saved years ago. Thought it may be of interest to others as I found it to be a good read. Puts a little different spin on things. Enjoy!

To Bead or Not to Bead

There is little doubt that the bead head nymph is a staple in everyone's fly box. And for good reason. As we all know, it is extremely important to get the nymph down to the bottom of the stream quickly in order to achieve as realistic a presentation as possible. But....have you ever really thought about what this may look like to a trout laying in 7 feet of water?

Indicator or Suspender?

Some of my favorites for suspending flies

Strike indicators have gotten a bad rap over the years, but you have to admit they are definitely effective for detecting strikes while nymphing your favorite streams. Even a purist can't deny that it makes sense to use them. I know there are lots of other ways to detect strikes, but none that are as easy to implement or teach, especially to new fly anglers.

F3T

Below is a post that I copied with the details about the upcoming Fly Fishing Film Tour in Chattanooga.

Fishing Streamers

I decided to write this article about how to fish streamers because it seems like 70% of the time when we tell people that they are hitting woolly buggers, they say that they have no idea how to fish a streamer. We certainly don't mind explaining how to fish them, but I thought I would post it here for the benefit of our readers and followers. So, here it goes:
