Today I went out to this little stretch of water where the bass ate the bluegill on my line, and decided to give it another shot. I had on a Hildebrant spinner, and tossed a few in with no results, and then it happened. A massive fish hauled it down, and started running. ..and my [...]
Fly Fishing: Bass Strikes Huge Bluegill
I have written a few posts on fly fishing and up until now, am still of average experience throwing flies to catch bass. This is one of those stories. I found a new stretch of water that is split in two by a bridge. The “canal” is about 100 feet wide and you can just [...]
“The Beast”
I have been fishing a lake near me that is quite a large lake. It seems the larger the lake the more difficult it is to figure out how to fish. This has been true for the past 4 months from spring to summer and now into early fall. I have been fly fishing for [...]

Today was opening day of trout season in Pennsylvania as I eluded to in my earlier post. I was excited this morning and hit the road to PA. It took about an hour and a half to get to Valley Forge where I was to test everything I had learned. Well, first I had to [...]
