Very nice! This reminds me so much of BrkTrt (Alan Petrucci). Alan was a huge believer in the kebari mysticism. I have a couple of Alan's kebari creations, though I doubt I'll ever fish them now. Keep going with this theme!

I finally gave in. Ken Callahan just got a copy for me from England. I paid too much, more than I've ever paid for a book before. I have a cousin who lives in England and has fishing privileges to some nice water; he said, "Buy it!" ...and so I did. The most I ever paid for a book before w...

Gorgeous tie, Ron. That fly will do great work on the upper Aroostook; Munsungan and Millinocket streams.

I must live under a rock, or in northern Maine, because I've never heard of this stuff until just now. I think I'll try it, thanks for the knowledge, Wayne.

That fly would rock on the Little Mad. Gorgeous tie, Wayne.

Spectacular tie, Ron; absolutely perfect.

Mike, Well said about Alan P. He was a peach of a guy and a whiz at the vice not only with soft-hackles of all sorts but with feather wing streamers tied in the traditional way! Mounting two and sometimes four long hackles vertically on top of the hook shank is never as easy at the tying videos mak...

Back in '92, I built myself a 6'6" Lamiglas 4 Wt. for those brushy little creeks in Eastern Oregon. Didn't need much distance, but relied on a bow and arrow cast most of the time. ;) High banks and over hanging branches are the name of the game around here, unless your fishing a still water fr...

I think the old sliding bead technique is an old bass fishing trick... using a bullet weight above the worm and letting it slide as it moves along the bottom...sure works with a plastic worm on bass... should work on trout. I'd forgotten about that set-up; we used to use it when surf casting for st...
