One time, I tied up what I now refer to as the “bread pattern” fly in an effort to catch HUGE rainbows!  These suckers are all over 22”!  Unfortunately they had become so accustomed to being fed by kids and tourists that they wouldn’t strike a traditional fly….

We all know that Salmon Flies are orange, big, and induce general pandemonium.  But what we tend to forget is that they are a pain in the ass.

Zane Mirfin tried to get his father to appreciate the fly rod on the waters around Nelson, New Zealand, but as far as I know he still prefers the twelve gauge.

Early season trout, I can probably polish off whatever is left in the bottle(s) from the spring
steelhead runs, but once summer hits, ice-cold tequila suits me just fine.
