Ron,

Great post, and a very thoughtful approach to trout fishing. Once I learned to slow down, observe more, and cast less I caught more trout. I'm still learning...

I hope you have been well.

Hans,

As always, a fantastic video and tutorial.

Mark,

Our Genesee River trout would be on that fly like a duck on a junebug!

Very nice!

Lance,

Very nice story, legacy, and set of flies.

Very good, also, for John S. to come through.

Wishing you good progress on your work!

Thank you for posting them.

Tim

Ray,

Nice looking fly, description, and technique-as always!

Well done...

Tim

I tie up a lot of my larger wets for night fishing on TUE hooks. When I fish a blood knot dropper set up, for fishing two flies (point and dropper, I won't fish more than two flies, especially at night), I seem to have a better hook up ratio when I use a fly tied on a TUE hook. I've been using Gaeli...
