Fly Fishing: A Pretty Massive Pickerel
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 [...]
The Times They are a Changin’ (for Bass)
In the Spring, things were good, and I didn’t even know it. I knew it because I landed and lost a bass bigger than my leg, and from that day forward had a “Captain Ahab” mentality towards this fish. I hooked into him just off the shore in about 2 feet of water on a [...]

Fly Fishin’ in Spring
Hi all, Im back and have a few more stories to report. I have moved to the North as we all have figured out, and the fishing up here is awesome. I went on a camping trip in the Catskill mountains near Woodstock and Newberg, and although I didn’t catch, (or thankfully didn’t get caught [...]
The Big Day “Arrived”
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 [...]
The Big Day
Tomorrow is a big day. I can finally relax for 24 hours and it just so happens to be opening day in Pennsylvania for trout fishing. Anyone who knows me, and there is a handful that do, know that I have become addicted to fly fishing. I don’t know all that I should, but I [...]
