I had a pretty good Easter weekend.  Saturday my uncle came over to go fishing with my dad, I couldn’t go I had a track meet.  He knows that I tie flies, so he brought me a full pheasant skin which was pretty awesome and a couple fly fishing magazines.  Easter was pretty lazy.  I […]

Today is the first official day of my spring break.  I am glad there is no school, but this break isn’t looking like a good one.  The weather is supposed to be really bad.  The highest temperature for next week is supposed to be like fifty and its going to snow or rain pretty much everyday.   […]

How do I get more storage space for pics?  I have been wanting to make new post but I can’t upload any pics, because the storage space is full.

Today was the first time I was out fishing this year (about time). I realized many things I like to have when I fish.  There was a chili cook off at our local Izaak Walton chapter and my dad entered his chili (he won, third year in a row), so I figured I would be able […]

I am adding a page that has my patterns and how to tie them and such.  Some are patterns I have created and others will be existing patterns that are proven fish catchers that I just can’t leave out.

This is my verson of the Letort Hopper that I tie.  This is the fly that I used mostly when we went up to the Ausable River.

body-dubbing color of choice

 Last August was my first time fly fishing for trout.  We went up to the Ausable River in Michigan.  It was only for a couple days though; I wish we could have gone up there longer, but there was to much stuff going on at home. 
A word of advice, if you haven’t been up there […]

The other night my dad had my brother bring in our two labs from outside since it was supposed to be cold.  My brother brought them in but he didn’t check to see if all the gates were up to keep them from roaming around the house.  Anyway, the younger dog got into my room […]
