Fly Pattern of the Day- " Wired Pupa"

Another great, but simple caddis pupa you can tie in several minutes. Another plus, most flytyiers will have the very simple list of materials on hand, eliminating the need to make a special trip to the flyshop, unless

you just need too.

Give this pattern a try, I think you will like it!

IS IT FISHING TIME?

It must be, the boat is back from it winter tune-up at Inflatable Technologies, they got the pinhole lead in the floor. New camera dry box is currently being built by Down River this week for the little Fatboy. That can only mean one thing. Fishing next week if the weather holds up. Its about F@#$I%^ time. Ready to have that first trout on the end of the line.

 Our kids are never so well behaved for their school pictures. Bright and shiny, so pretty

 Time to bring some brown and rainbow faces to the boat with the new winter ties. Geeked to give them a try. New gear is purchased, fly boxes organized, reels with new flylines, I would say Game On.
Bring on the fish.



Late Winter Fishing- Midge Style

I don't like to fish the small stuff very much, but is is very effective this time of the year. The nice thing 

about these flies is the ease factor. You can pump them out like no tomorrow.
