This week’s Saturday Shoutout showcases two fly tying blogs that are updated regularly and sure to motivate you at your vise. Check out FrankenFly and FloatFisher for good fly pattern recipes and videos.

FRANKENFLY – “WHERE FLY TYING COMES TO LIFE”

Paul Beel, creator of FrankenFly, caught my attention a while back with his passion for fly tying and his unique blog name. It’s a relatively new blog but he’s been Johnny on the spot with consistent postings for quite a while now. I’ve been digging the patterns he’s been posting lately. Check it out, I think you’ll like.

FLOATFISHER

The FloatFisher is another fly tying content heavy blog out there that I’ve been enjoying. You all know that I’m a sucker for fly tying websites. This one also is regularly active and a great place for finding pattern ideas for filling your fly box.

Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for tuning into Gink & Gasoline. We appreciate each and everyone of you.

Saturday Evening Post- Monday Edition

 Ms. Floatfisher still looking for rising fish, even with the boat on the trailer

Blue Wing Hunt on Easter

Easter Weekend treated us well as the weather was absolutely fantastic, so nice that I donned shorts and  sandals for both days. A smidge chilly in the mornings, but really nice the rest of the day. Oh how I do not miss wearing waders.

 Our view for a great deal of the float. What a great way to spend Easter Sunday.

Ms. Floatfisher in Easter Outfit, think she got her holidays mixed up.  Should have fished on St. Paddy's Days.

Blue Wings were out flying today, sure was nice to see noses rising to our flies. Game On.

Fly Pattern of the Day- " Two Wire Prince"

Because the spring fishing season is just beginning, it is very hard to pass up post this fly again.

A great producer as the rivers warm up and the caddis become more active. If you do not have a selection of the in sizes 12-16 , you are missing out. Tie some today!
