A Nice Afternoon Steelheading with Bob and Mike

I could not get up until 9:30, so after hitting up Fat Nancy’s in Pulaski, New York for some supplies, I was on the river by two. The crowds were VERY light so we had our choice of spots. We all did excellent. The Salmon River did not disappoint! We did very well with switch and Spey rods with indicators and egg patterns. We had some fresher steelhead in the mix along with some older “holding” fish. Who cares what they look like when you are having fun with two great friends!

First fish of the New Year a Little Late :)

I got out on New Years Day to a small limestone stream in eastern Pennsylvania. The water was slightly high, but the fishing was decent. I fished a dry fly with two dropper nymphs. The trout were all wild brown trout from 6 to 12 inches. It was not a bad start to a New Year! From the pictures that you will see from the past two weeks you’ll see that it’s been really good so far!

….you have Umpqua Shimizaki dry fly shake in you bathroom. Dry fly Floatant in with the toothbrushes, shaver, and the other toiletries looks a little weird but it means that you are really hardcore ;) Or maybe it means that I can’t wait to cast dries to rising fish???
