Hanging with the guys from Upper St Clair Fly Fishing Club

This past week KG and I spent an evening with our old friends at the Upper St Clair Fly Fishing Club in Pittsburgh’s south hills. We chatted with them about soft hackles, streamers and some of our favorite blue lines in western Maryland. For the guys that were there and for those who couldn’t be […]

A Bug Chucker’s Lounge

My god, life gets in the way, and the weather has sucked. It has been a long hard winter, streams have been frozen solid in the negative unholy temperatures. That’s lead to virtually zero fishing…and very few posts on here. I haven’t even had much time behind the vice…that’s about to change. About a month […]

The Kryptonite Leech

The Kryptonite Leech is this months fly and will be the featured at Cabin Fever this Sunday. This pattern was created by combining several similar patterns together. I began fishing this pattern when I lived in Alaska and as you see above I had to use the custom-built Pebble Mine sign. I have used this […]

August Bug of the Month: Drinking Water Crease Bug

Since large mouth and small mouth bass don’t have the teeth that blue fish do, I’ve forgone the epoxy […]

The BCI Sculpin

We had to share KG’s creation prior to picking the next Bug of the Month. Enjoy!

June Fly of the Month and Brookie Teaser

This month’s fly is the Flashback Pheasant Tail. It was the most productive fly of our trip and we filmed a little video on how to tie it while we were experiencing that now infamous Rain Day. Tie a bunch up, they just work!

FISH SKULLS AND CLIPPED BROOKIES

In the past few weeks of fly tying I decided to experiment with the Fish Skulls on some older productive patterns. As you can see from above, they add serious realizm to just about any baitfish pattern. If you have already tried them out, you probably already know this. If not, you should definitely try […]

Articulated Hareball Leech

Fast, Easy, Effective, and Fun pattern is the Articulated Hareball Leech “AHL”. This pattern was introduced to me when I lived and fished in Alaska. This is a common pattern up there and as you fish your way back East it starts to be just a pattern you see in books or on the web […]
