Dec 21 2009 at 7pm for our monthly general meeting for a round-table of our resident fly-tiers, raffles, free refreshments, and some holiday cheer.  Please feel free to bring some of your own holiday treats to share so that you’re not the only one who’ll get ‘thicker in the middle’ this holiday season.

All are welcome. […]

They say a steelheader’s flybox is a window into that angler’s perspective and attitude towards the fish and sport.  The Grey Heron is a modest simple fly that just screams to be grabbed.   Thanks for the suggestion Walt

The fish was hot, landed a bit green, and still cranky at picture time…whatever, it was perfect.

Evening 3 of a weekend fishing bender ended in a pushy tailout that swung itself, dry-lining skaters on a side of the country where it’s just not done.  The resulting boil was almost better than the hook-up that never came…obsession renewed…

Meetings are being held in dark alleys and back rooms planning Spey Nation III.

Fishing somebody else’s water is alot like taking their sister out on a date.  You find out that they trust you enough to do it but it’s unwritten that you’re not going to blab all over school about it.  Then there are those spots where you get shown by people that give you, “The Talk.”  The […]

2 nights into a 3 day bender during steelhead season highlighted by chalky high flows, black string leeches, swinging low and slow, and some choice microbrews, the corner of the cabin started to gather stuff…and the recliner started to gather me.  Hey, some times you win, sometimes you drink…

 
Part 2 of Manitou’s (Jocelin LeBlanc’s) epic trip to Aux Outardes river for it’s run of huge Lake Trout is up at The Angler’s Net right now.   

According to Encyclopedia Brittanica, “The Aux Outardes river in Côte-Nord (“North Shore”) region, east-central Quebec province, Canada, rises in the Otish Mountains and flows southward for 300 miles (480 […]
