Some of the many fish I caught a couple of weeks ago at Patagonia Baker Lodge. Didnāt set any records, but all the fish were solid, and made us work for them. Nymphs, big & small dries, and streamers-all worked! A fantastic place and people. We even got a copter flight in down to the lodge.
The remaining trout in our community ponds may not last through next week. I have to travel an hour or more to get into them from my town. Gonna missthe easy access until next season!

By John Byron Itās a thing. Gear Acquisition Syndrome. GAS. The most you can use at any one time is one. One guitar. One fountain pen. One fly rod. But how many you have is N, where N is a much bigger number than one. Thatās GAS. The concept and phrasing, GAS, came from the world of music. Yes, how many guitars, pickups, mikes, etc.
I am starting my second full season of fly fishing and spend a fair amount of time on the Cape in the summer (usually early and late summer). An older neighbor recently gave me two rods that he used to use for striper fishing; 8 and 9wt Orvis rods and a Battenkill reel.

The fly fishing community feels like a big family. We get together a few times a year for reunions at the fly fishing shows, and occasionally meet up on the water for a trip. There is a reason we are so close. It is because we are all passionate about this wonderfully weird sport where […]
The blizzard was bad enough that I considered heading back to my in-laws’ rather than continuing the drive. I’d been there all week, though, staying with them while on a work trip to Utah.

By Chris Dore So we donāt have any Sea Trout here in New Zealand as many would know them, but we have some great sea run brown trout fishing. Our 'Sea Runners' are just your standard, wild brown trout simply exercising their efficient feeding patterns: they follow the food into and out of the salt as availability determines.
Tying flies for a trip is almost as fun as getting to use them. Researching patterns for a location, figuring out hook choices, and building a box is a rewarding process, especially when the fish approves. I definitely have way too many bonefish flies but that's all part of the process. These were all tied for a trip to aitutaki.
Two anglers from Missoula, who were on their way home from a fly fishing trip in the Seychelles off the east coast of Africa, are trapped in Dubai while Iran continues its attacks on countries throughout the region.
So Iāve been fly fishing for trout around Fife, Scotland for the last year (Wormit mostly with some River Eden failures lol) and I wanted a better way to track trips and conditions.I couldnāt find an app that focused on the stuff that actually matters to me when fishing, so I started building one myself. Itās called Fishable.
Had a great day in aitutaki fishing for bonefish and GTs. The bonefish are big and smart. Casting to them was much more like permit fishing than the bonefish I am used to on the Atlantic side of the world. Definitely worth a trip if you love challenging flats fishing.

Southern California is hardly a freshwater angling destination. When most think of the area, one conjures up surfing, Hollywood, mansions, and sunny weather. The thought of rivers, snow-capped peaks, trout streams, and even animals like bears rarely comes to mind.

By Garner Reid A GOOD PORTION OF MY FLY FISHING INVOLVES THROWING SOME SORT OF A SINKING FLY LINE. Realistically, half of my time on the water involves streamers and sinking lines at least for some part of the day. If I am not out on the water guiding for streamer-eating fish like stripers, Iām in the fly shop talking about them.
From the streamer junkie stripping heavy articulated meat to the technical purist, thereās something here to keep your hands busy and your mind on the water. So heat up the coffee, fire up the UV lamp, and put a few new tools in the box before spring arrives.
