New Mexico: Seeing Past Dark Water

Published by CtScribe under Fishing, Flies, Fly Fishing

I just recently returned from the lovely state of New Mexico where I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks on the Dine’, or more commonly, the Navajo, Reservation. While there, I was able to travel to a number of different streams and rivers, in search of a native that could give me the [...]

Dodging Duckweed

Published by CtScribe under Fishing, Fly Fishing, Maintenance

This past week I spent time scouting out, and fishing, a local pond here in northeastern Connecticut. It was my first time fishing this specific body of water, so I met up with the owner of the property to discuss the ins and outs of fishing there. After a few minutes of conversation, he began [...]

When You Get Hit

After all the casting and hard work finally pays off, and you have that beautiful trophy trout on your line, there are many things that take place both in your mind and physically on the water. The most common thoughts that come to mind are those regarding size, whether to keep it or not, and [...]

What’s A Yeti?

Just yesterday I was fishing with my three brothers at a favorite childhood fishing hole behind the house where we grew up. While we were fishing, my little brother accidently brought up an interesting topic that I decided to discuss today.

Over the course of the blog, I have discussed many tips and tricks to catching more, and larger, trout. Although this is very helpful, there is more to the experience of fishing than just fishing for, and catching trout.  Although the actual act of fishing is, in my opinion, the best part of fly-fishing, the [...]

Derby Day ‘08

Published by CtScribe under Fishing, Fly Fishing

Today was a great day of fishing. I and a number of other men and women hosted a fishing derby for inner-city children, and children with special needs. Although the day was fairly slow, and there was not a huge number of fish caught, the day was very productive in that it gave us the opportunity [...]

The Ultimate Fishing Challenge

The season has begun, and certainly on a good note for many of the fishermen around the country. I spent opening day this year on the Natchaug River in northeastern Connecticut. Although I did not get the opportunity to do much fishing, I did have the pleasure of sharing the art of fly-fishing with a [...]

‘Fly Day- Friday: The Soft-Tail Crayfish

Published by CtScribe under Fishing, Flies, Fly Fishing Tips

Each November, I look forward to heading up north to do some fishing during the steelhead and salmon runs. One specific trip is permanently inscribed in my mind as one of the greatest eye-openers in my career of fly fishing. After a sleepless night spent in a makeshift ‘motel,’ that seemed to be constructed [...]

Fish For Fun

When You Catch Yourself…

When I was about ten years old, I was out fly fishing on the river behind our house. My day was wonderful. Trout were biting, hatches were rising, and it seemed as though everything was just grand. Unfortunately, this beautiful state of affairs was brutally interrupted by a sheering pain that ran down my hand. [...]
