My memory isn't perfect, so I might have posted something in the past about the book called "ORANGE OTTER" written by Christopher Knowles. The book details the life, fishing and fly tying of Rev. Edward Powell of Munslow, Shropshire. I believe that the Reverend caught so many trout that h...

Holy smokes, I like that!!

Wayne, That is a great color! Is the hare's mask from Charlie's Fly Box? Thanks- Ken Ken, how did you know I got it at Charlies? That is awesome.

Watched him land a fish, release it, reach into the top pocket of his waders, dress his fly and make another cast. When it got too dark to see to fish any...

I keep looking for something that desecrates the soft hackle and can't find anything, unless you mean beads. If that's the case I've been a desecrator for years. Looking good, Wayne. Ron, psssst. There are some nasty nasty rubber tails. I took a Black and Peacock, a Partridge and Peacock, and a Mar...

When I return from work in 16 days, the first Caddis Hatches should be in swing. I will be nymphing with an indicator, Mono-Rig, swinging for the trout with these patterns.
