This past weekend I had the opportunity to work with a young man who wished to be introduced to fly fishing. Before beginning his first lesson, I set him up with a Pflueger rod and reel kit. The same set that my father bought me when I began fly fishing. Although the package was supposed [...]

Well Now that I Have the Fish…

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 [...]

Keeping Your Feet Dry

Published by CtScribe under Uncategorized

Yesterday I was abruptly reminded of a very real problem that many fishermen face this time of year.
I was unpacking some fishing gear with a friend. When we examined his waders, we found a number of holes in the legs, as well as dry-rot cracks were they had been creased. Furthermore, we found about [...]
