Fishing Time

23 Mar 2012 | 2:26 am

Recently I read an article about traveling and how to save money with hotel rooms. Usually when I go for my fishing trips I tend to use hotel booking websites like agoda and the likes to scout for great deals. However, recently I started using Hotel comparison tools available online and got pretty great deals.You can read more about it here -- Best Resort Hotel booking

The Fly Fish Chick

7 May 2012 | 11:41 am

My husband and my dad returned a week ago from their bonefish trip in the Bahamas but I am just now getting a chance to share the pics. For those of you out there who have been waiting a lot longer to hear back from me or get whatever it is you need from me, you’ll be shocked by this seemingly short turnaround time. (It’s all perspective.) But hopefully everyone can enjoy (nay envy, like me) these one week old, slightly lukewarm-off-the-press pics from their Exuma trip…

8 May 2012 | 3:34 pm

When I first planned this girls trip to Mexico waaay back in January, I had grand plans to bikini bootcamp my way through the spring months and melt away in time for a tropical reveal. Well…with a net loss of negative four pounds and the trip just eight days away, all efforts have turned toward more fabric and conspiring to acquire as many chic cover-ups as I can lay my hands on. I love anything that smacks of 60s style. For example I adore this picture that Stanley Marcus took (in his book ‘Reflections of a Man’) in Acapulco 1962. Another story for another day I will share why I…

Fifteen tips on Switching from Freshwater to Saltwater Fly Fishing

The Orvis Fly Fishing Guide Podcast

30 Apr 2012 | 10:12 am

This week, in preparation for the best months of saltwater fishing from Maine to Florida (May and June) we explore the idea of moving from freshwater to salt. Trout anglers are seldom prepared for the transition to saltwater fly fishing--although the equipment requirements are easy enough to understand and you only need a few extra knots, it's mainly the casting and the expectations that throw trout anglers a curve ball. There are 15 tips for making this transition easy and fun. Also in the Fly Box this week, we answer questions about the Surgeon's vs. Clinch knots, knots…

The Effects of the Moon and Barometric Pressure on Fishing

13 Apr 2012 | 8:20 am

In this week's podcast I interview Captain Jim Barr from Rhode Island and we talk about the effects of barometric pressure changes and moon phases on fly fishing, both in Jim's arena of striped bass fishing and also on various freshwater species. If you're looking for easy answers you'll be disappointed, but I think you'll enjoy hearing us talk about the empirical observations we've made over the years. In the Fly Box section this week we discuss methods of weighting flies with non-toxic materials, why you catch bigger fish on worms than you do on flies, and an explanation of the…

Trailer for the Film "Sipping Dry"

Our own Simon Perkins has a film in this year's Fly Fishing Film Tour. We are going to have him on the show to discuss his film "Sipping Dry" in the coming weeks. In the meantime, check out the trailer. From the website at www.flyfilmtour.com: There are plenty of addictions to get hooked on in the world of fly fishing. One of the most consuming is the obsession with the dry fly, which explains why anglers travel the globe in search of epic hatches and large trout rising on the surface. "Sipping Dry" takes you to a place many refer to as the "dry fly capital of the world"--the…

Tippets: Whitney Gould Wins Again, Importance of Small Fish, Mississippi’s New Course, Fly Fishing Literature’s Elements of Style

Erin Block

16 May 2012 | 5:55 am

In the casting ponds of Golden Gate Angling and Casting Club, Whitney Gould has won her third Spey-O-Rama competition with a combined cast total of 525 feet, and a long cast of 135 feet. Small herbivorous fish might get no respect, but they play an integral part in maintaining the health of an ecosystem—which in turn benefits jobs, livelihoods and ecotourism, say researchers in a recent study published in the journal Ecology. For a first in “in modern times,” says John Lopez, executive director of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, the lower Mississippi is charting a new course,…
Quick Fix: Use Medical Tape to Make a Sunglass Retainer

timromano

16 May 2012 | 5:50 am

It may not look pretty, but it works... A couple weeks ago I was on location for a photo shoot in the jungles of Guyana and realized the sunglass retainers I had with me did not fit the larger ear stems of my Costa Del Mar sunglasses. I was pretty bummed until I remembered a trick my friend taught me years ago on a backcountry trip when I’d forgotten my Croakies then too. All you need is about seven to ten inches of medical tape (preferably the fabric kind) and you’re set. Here are the steps: #1. Cut a length of tape 7 to 10 inches long, depending on where you like your glasses to…
Video Hatch: “Jazz & Fly Fishing, Season One”

Erin Block

16 May 2012 | 5:49 am

As jazz is a conversation between human and instrument, so fly fishing is a conversation between human and water. And the four men—Håvard, Joona, Fredrik, and Tapani—who make up Jazz & Fly Fishing are masters of both. Tight lines you might say, on all accounts. The long awaited film “Season One,” from their tour during the summer of 2009, is due out May 25, 2012.
California Steelhead Take Backseat to Wine?

Benjamin Clary

16 May 2012 | 4:46 am

A group of scientists recently conducted a study that links higher steelhead death rates to low water levels and the amount of vineyard acreage upstream. In the late summer and early fall of dry years, when water is at a premium not only for irrigation but also to encase the vines in ice during a unexpected freeze, steelhead can suffer up to a 70 percent mortality rate. “This is the first scientific publication on how vineyards and summer stream flows relate to fish survivorship in California’s tributary streams,” said study principal investigator Adina Merenlender, cooperative…

Santa Fe and The Faraway

Little Chick and I have just returned from a long weekend in Santa Fe celebrating Mother’s Day with my mother’s side of the family. We had four generations represented: my grandmother, my mom, my mom’s two sisters, my two Santa Fe cousins, my Colorado cousin and her two sons. We had several churches outside our hotel room and while their bells were lovely, it proved a bit confusing since I have set the church bell chime as my ringtone on my iphone. I found myself jumping a lot to answer non-existent calls. But what a view to wake up to on our first morning… First things first, my…

Hope Dies Hard On A Fishing Trip…

Tom Chandler

14 May 2012 | 12:47 pm

No matter how much we stared at them, the snow drifts covering the road refused to melt. I wasn’t really surprised; in this part of the world, the snow level is currently around 5500 feet. But you know, this road and this pass were going to be different. Then we rolled around the corner just past 5400′ and the dream of being the first into a small alpine stream died. The moment hope died... Every time this happens I go through the usual stages; denial, anger, bargaining, depression over the lack of realtime satellite intel and finally, acceptance. Usually, I don’t…

Muscles were strained, dehydration was experienced, and yes, trout were caught — all after the stream we wanted to fish remained just out of reach, courtesy a couple snow drifts.

I was ready, but the bastard wouldn't fall in. See you doing dad things, Tom Chandler. Happy Mother's Day!

Trips like this generate enough hope to power a small city, though all that wattage rubs against the very real possibility of abject failure and disappointment, so you wouldn’t normally make a big public deal about it (like posting it on a blog or anything). Still, we’re planning to confirm a couple places we have been, try a couple we haven’t, and also to fish some of our…

Outside of the check I received for writing CA Fly Fisher’s “The Good Fight” section, it’s clear I benefited from the article in other ways; Little M recently used a word that raised the L&T’s…

Oldhippie

15 May 2012 | 11:54 am

My nymphing technique heretofore has been pretty much restricted to indicators such as yarn and thingamabobbers. I'm curious to give the Euro Sighter technique a try and wonder if some of you have found it consitently & significantly more effective or just another arrow in the quiver. Last night I made up a couple of backing style Euro Nymph Sighters as described on a troutpredator video. The shop I went to only had 20lb white backing and 50lb chartreuse, so I went for the chartreuse and colored it with a coral snake kind of theme. Most recommendations are for a splice of 30lb orange…

Choice of Fishing Lines

GFG

27 Mar 2012 | 9:09 am

Prospective fishermen must have an idea of the fish they want to catch. This factor will normally give an idea of the average size of the fish. Fishing lines are made thicker for the heavier fish (the weight of the fish in comparison to the line is referred to as pound test.) However, from experience, I can attest that they can hold more weight than what is printed on the package. And, from personal experience, the more of a fight the fish puts up the more fun to catch them. However, you have options for how the line is made. Here it is:Monofilament line is made of a single fiber. It is very…

He found the hull for the ship, which is steel, in Turkey, and the behemoth took several…

Fishing is a Good Test of One’s Parenting Skills

Dennis Zimmermann

12 Apr 2012 | 4:39 pm

Often when fishing with kids..its a group effort. Sometimes it’s (1) the pure chaos that occurs when a fish is on the line. Other times it’s (2) the lack of clarity around who was holding it, watching it, reeling it and monitoring the situation. Occasionally, it’s (3) not being able to tell the younger child for fear of tears that it was in fact his older brother’s fish. Yes, fishing is another good test of one’s parenting (or lack thereof) skills. Such is usually the case when I ice-fish with the family. We drill a bunch of holes, set-up a…

Be More Visible Out There Paddling and Fishing

Dennis Zimmermann

3 Apr 2012 | 7:49 am

Just read a scary online story from Kayak Angler Magazine Online about a fishing kayak struck and crushed by a boat in Australia. It makes me think we have to be more visible out there while paddling out Yukon waters. Sure we don’t have the same traffic and most of the time you are out there on large lake by yourself…but I think that in itself can be an issue as boaters become complacent. As a boater myself I’ve hammered across large Yukon lakes on autopilot after a while. With so much space we often forget there is traffic and rules of road in boating as well.

New King Salmon Retention Policy at Alaska West

2012 Quill Gordon Summit Recap

25 Apr 2012 | 10:50 pm

By The_SasquatchPhotos by SkybayWe're all back from the 2012 Quill Gordon Summit, and by all accounts the event was a great success! We had a good turn out of about 7 guys; Skybay, Dave_S, Turkey, CSoult, Wetfly_01, The Sasquatch, and my father, Jerry (non-board member).The weekend started for Jerry and me at 5:30am. By 9:15am we were on the Pine Creek in Ansonia not far from Sandfly's shop. We fished for about an hour and then headed over to Sandy's. First thing we noticed was that the water was low and very very clear. No fish to be found in the AM, but lots and lots of caddis on the water.
Fly Fishing Getting Started - Mayfly Sex Identification 102

23 Apr 2012 | 6:20 am

Recently going through my mayfly photographs I found a nice set of pictures from the Paflyfish Spring Jam in 2010. The Green Drake (Ephemera guttulata ) hatch was in full swing that year and photographs of these mayflies was easy and plentiful. Most of the weekend was overcast and rain as normally forecasted for the Spring Jam. Emergers (subimigo) and spinners (imago) were not so much active during the day, but lined the sides of the streams in the hundred's of thousands. I am always torn between fishing and photography on days like this but glad put down my fly rod for a while and captured a…

May Bank Holiday, Sea Fishing on Anglesey

15 May 2012 | 3:59 pm

Bull Huss for Wendy from Cemlyn Bay, AngleseyWe’ve just spent the last week on Anglesey sea fishing and generally relaxing where, much to Wendy’s amusement, I was out-fished in both species and size.The week started well and after after chatting about possible locations for fly fishing and picking up bait from Menai Angling we spent the first day doing nothing. On the Sunday we made our way to a mark where Bass have been caught on lures and spend a couple of hours salt water fly fishing. After a while it became evident that we need more practice with the heavier rods and the fish…

With the weather producing freezing rain and wind in truly biblical scales we haven’t done any sort of sea fishing or fly fishing these past few weeks and even venturing outside to do a little bit of gardening has had to timed between downpours so like any other angler what do I do when I can’t go fishing? Look up places I want to go fishing when the weather improves of course, and it was during such a search that I came across this short clip of a full length film called “Tapâm – a flyfishing journey“.To say there is some remarkable fishing involved is to…

Flounder at Fairhaven on Easter Sunday

Stu

9 Apr 2012 | 12:34 pm

After such glorious weather it was almost inevitable that the weather for the Easter bank holidays would be grim as we turned up for the Blackpool and Layton Angling Society (BLAS) Match at Fairhaven, Lytham. This was to be leg one of the Estuary Cup and the target species sea fishing at this venue is Flounder. The tide races in and out here and if you are fishing off the wall as we were you’ll generally only get about 3 hours of worthwhile fishing unless you want to follow the tide in, up to the wall and back out again.Six people braved the bitterly cold North West wind and at 11:15am…
Salt Water Fly Fishing – 2012 Target – Mullet

This years target species for sea fishing is the Mullet, thin or thick lipped, we don’t care. We’ve tried and tried to get one of these and we’ve been so very close but this is the year , I can feel it. We’ve a fairly good ‘Mullety’ type river near us, the River Douglas which I’m convinced will produce Mullet as the tide floods into the small creeks but the water isn’t very clear so we’ll have to ‘cheat’ and use float fishing techniques.Our aim though, and it has been for some time now, is to catch one of these beautiful fish…

Fishing Tips for Finding Sneaky in Between Bass

Jason Sealock

15 May 2012 | 7:00 am

Being a successful angler has very little to do with understanding bass behavior under ideal conditions. Anyone can catch them when it's "perfect." It's when the fishing gets tough and the bass are sometimes beat off of the beaten path that the truly skilled anglers show their worth. For it's when the bass seem to leave the "obvious places" and set up on sneaky places. These sneaky places aren't sneaky to the bass. They are just the next thing down from where they were or where they are heading. The funny thing is we give bass a lot of credit for being mystical creatures who enter and vanish…

The numbers of fish in many of these waters can be good, even astounding! But it’s not at all unusual to find bass abundant but the average size only about 12 inches – and sometimes considerably smaller. These lakes are great for working on techniques, testing new lures and tackle, honing skills, and introducing newcomers to fishing -- underlying themes…
Make Skirted Bass Fishing Jigs Better

Greg Hackney and Denny Brauer might just be the who's who of fishing jigs. Of course most of the guys that fish at the top level know a lot about jigs and are accomplished anglers having won a lot of money with jigs. But when you talk about fishing jigs in heavy cover and now after Denny's win on the Arkansas River last year on the Elite Series, you're also talking about fishing jigs offshore. "I rarely fish a jig right out of the package," Brauer said. "That doesn't mean they aren't good right out of the package, but guys have a lot of personal preferences.

Joe has won in excess of $250,000 dollars fishing the Great Lakes and is a past Everstart and BASS Open winner. He is a designer and has created several lures and products specifically for the Great Lakes, including the first ever goby lure. He provides some excellent insights into subtle differences between the two species, and how small changes in approach for smallmouth cranking can pay dividends and help put more…

So when I saw Santee Cooper slated for late April, I started feeling froggy. I had only been to Santee once to fish a college event a few years ago, but it was love at first cast and a place that I have since wished I could spend more time. Upon arrival, I took my dad, and practice partner, to a place I had picked out on Google Maps for the College Fishing…

Where to Fly Fish During the Runoff

30 Apr 2012 | 3:23 pm

So what do you do when Mother Nature comes to town and turns your local rivers into runs of chocolate milk (either muddied with rain, or a heatwave that triggers the snowmelt)? If water clarity becomes an issue in the spring, try fly fishing other bodies of water such as ponds, lakes or even the ocean if you're near a larger body of water. Stillwater reservoirs can sometimes avoid the wrath of Mother Nature, at least for a few days before the feeder creeks make things murky across the board. Fish are also keen on when storm fronts are nearing, and often gorge themselves right before major…

I don’t know the winners of the April 2012 Round Valley Trout Association trout fishing tournament as of this writing but I’ll update as soon as I do. You can also visit the RVTA website at https://www.fishrvta.com/ I do know that a 17.2lb Lake Trout and a 15lb Laker were weighed in. The bigger fish was released.

OLYMPIA - Anglers will have at least four more days to fish for hatchery-reared spring chinook salmon on a section of the Columbia River stretching 163 miles upstream from Bonneville Dam.

Smallmouth Jerkbait Tips from Bass Pro Bill Lowen

Joe_Cermele

15 May 2012 | 11:00 am

by Joe Cermele Last week I spent some time chasing smallmouths up in Buffalo, New York. If you're a smallmouth freak like I am, at some point you have to fish Lake Erie. Even the small fish are footballs and the shear number of bass is insane. One day I shared a boat with Elite Bass Pro Bill Lowen, who proceeded to crush me in the numbers of bass category. It seems every time I fish with a bass pro, I'm like Baby Huey. Case in point, at the end of this video featuring some great jerkbait tips from Lowen, you get to watch Billy yank a treble hook that's buried to the bend out of my hand. It…
How to Use Free-Lining Live-Bait Minnows to Catch Shy Brown Trout

Sarah Smith

15 May 2012 | 8:10 am

by John Merwin Yesterday morning in about two hours, I caught more large brown trout than ever before in one day of fishing. It was just crazy. In addition to the 7-pounder I’m holding in the photo, we also caught and released a brown of 8.5 pounds and a third that weighed in at 5 pounds. I guess that’s bragging of a sort, but mostly I share all this so I can then explain just how it was done. In a nutshell: Free-lining live-bait minnows. So here was the deal. A small local lake had become infested with alewives, a non-native species introduced by accident. Some years back, the…

by Joe Cermele I don't know about you, but I've had the grill out and fired up a bunch already this spring. It's barbecue season and I couldn't be happier! Now, if you're looking for a little change from normal burgers and brats this year, may I suggest Asian carp dogs. That's right, Schafer's Fisheries in Fulton, IL, is turning the fish we all love to hate into the foods we all love to eat. I know what you're thinking: What about when we have to pack a lunch and can't grill? Fear not. Schafer's is making carp bologna and salami, too. Check out this most excellent video from The Daily.
Cameron Diaz Nearly Eaten By Grouper. Yeah, We're Serious
