I am stuck with Gaffy Baitboy?:down:

We had a great week in the Adirondacks. Water was in the lower 60s and the flow was above normal. The fish would pile up in the eddies and calmer current to get some refuge from the high fast flow. I caught a lot of fish most were small wild Browns. All the small Browns were taking small black...

The studies primarily focus was on how drift feeders locate and find pray. I found the study to be interesting. This I found to be the most intriguing and unexpected find. "We’ve hypothesized that the fish focus their efforts on a particular region (for example, within a 10 cm radius of their...

I had a good evening fishing today. Fish were taking tan caddis and green sedges right before dark. A lot of bugs on the water. What I did find alarming was the water temp is now in the mid sixties also it is low and clear. The warm water temps is likely the reason for all the insect activity.

I got out today. What I saw happen on the KLG this afternoon was amazing. I can not remember the last time I witnessed a hatch of this size on the gorge. I looked up stream and down stream and saw fishing rising every where. The Hendricksons and Qilll Gordons where coming heavy. The best...

Here is the article from the latest issue of Fly fisherman Mag that I read. It should should have made the cover not a small editorial. https://www.ausableanglers.org/great-press-on-the-fish-farm-case/

Just when you thought you seen it all?

Fly fishing has become a 750 million dollar a year industry in the US alone and the dollars keep flowing in. From Chess to full contact fighting and every sport in-between, there has been more written on the subject of fly fishing then any other sport. With all that information available, you...

I took these pictures on the lower Raritan River this morning. I have never seen this species on the river. At first I thought they were Puffins. Highly unlikely that they would be this far south, and the beak is not right. So I can rule them out. I looked on the web , I can not find an...

I had the opportunity this past Sunday to be part or the grand opening for the Orvis store in Princeton NJ. I was happy to see the store was not the typical clothing store. The store has an entire section devoted to fly fishing. The shop caries the complete complement Orvis rods and reels to...

We have all experienced that fly that has unwanted material blocking the eye of the hook. most nippers and forceps have a small pin on them to clear the eye . This always results in the pin pushing the material out of the way but does not remove it. I know it can get frustrating trying to...
