Skiddish Smolt Fly- by Fred Tellen/ BIg R Fly Shop

Although we have had lots of wet weather here in Colorado this year, a couple of great overcast, grey cool days will and should bring on some great streamer action. Though it was only proper to throw down a little video from our friends at the Big R Flyshop. 

An extremely productive and easy pattern that should be in every streamer box. As Fred, describes, you can tie several different color . I would do it and stock you boxes with some. This fly will not 

disappoint.

The Other Golden Pond

On our recent trip to Montana we witnessed a beautiful sunset on golden pond, Montana style.

Just on the other side of the pond, the braids of Madison waits for you.

Eric Ishiwata Flies

 It does not matter if you fish single handed fly rods or two-handers, Eric Ishiwata twists up 

some fabulous flies. The Grand Master Flash pictured above fished down and across is deadly, and should be in your arsenal of flies. 

Eric also has many other terrific fish catching flies in his portfolio, only to include the Butt Scudley, Kool Herc, Drunken Hopper, Swinger Cray and several others. Check out this fabulous Colorado fisherman and fly-tyer. 

Alaska Hunting

Outdoor activities run strong in the Floatfisher extended family, my cousin has had a very productive

summer hunting in his home state. Not a common site to most of folks around our neck or the woods,

hopefully.
