The book has been doing very well. It’s been in the top ten fly fishing product sales (as high as number 1) for the last year and some change. I’ve been blessed with great reviews from Tim at Combat Fly Fishing, Dan at The Fly Fish Guy, and Kirk at Trout Magazine. Many others have given me great reviews for which I am thankful.

Rods, Reels & Heels: The Beginning.....

http://rodsreelsandheels.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-beginning_9158.html

Rods, Reels and Heels. True life adventures of a small town girl, trapped in a big city. Learning to fly fish through all the frustrations and glory! Saturday, July 6, 2013. During a recent move, I came across my 2012 ‘Bucket List’ that included “fly fish once a month.”. Fly fishing was just going to be an “I feel-like-being-outside-today” activity, yet my once a month goal has become more of a weekend ritual and in my first year, I logged about 40-50 days on the water. One massive nymph rig knot. Obviou...

Shelves and the Formula. Hidy Ho Good Neighbors! Added a new video at: https:/ youtu.be/h 8BmcfsYnQ. Obligatory grip and grin…. Enjoy the video. Go work a shelf as soon as possible and get back to me! Posted September 29, 2016 by flyfishersplaybook. Sure is dry out today…. Hidy Ho Good Neighbors,. The key to dry fly presentation when it comes to how the fish are eating is observation. Watch how the fish are feeding, where they are staging, and then cast 4 to 5. Dry fly fishing in beautiful places…. High ...

Hidy Ho Good Neighbors! Ok, so you’ve read the water, locating likely holds, and determined how to fish the nuances for the best behavioral drift. You’ve also read the fish and have determined how they’re eating, giving clues as to what stage of the insects are being consumed. Finally, you’ve identified the bugs either in the air (preferred) or by rummaging rocks. Simply reverse engineer systematically. Fear No Water,. Reverse engineer from here once you’ve read the water and fish…. Ascent Fly Fishing Re...

It’s in the bag….. | flyfishersplaybook

https://flyfishersplaybook.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/its-in-the-bag

It’s in the bag…. Hidy Ho Good Neighbors! My client hooks a beauty of a brown in a soft seam about fifteen feet out. The river is in pre-runoff, so there is a dangerous element to landing big fish that get into big water. I bark a few directions about rod tip angles and height that puts my client in good fighting position. The brown took exception to it. At some point, I know I’m going to have to let go of my clients wading belt, stop dragging him along the rocks at river edge, and go in for the beast&#4...

8220;Oh waiter, there’s a fly in my soup….”. Hidy Ho Good Neighbors! So glad May is finally nearing June. I traveled a bunch giving presentations in Colorado and Arizona. I’m not much for hotels and rental cars, but I do enjoy speaking to various groups. I spent 2 days in Tucson, 3 in the Phoenix area, and 3 in east-central Arizona’s White Mountains. Big groups of “fishy” folks. Notice how I say basic tenets of fishing instead of fly fishing? Of the food fish are. Suspended somewhere in the middle? It ma...

Come To Your Senses….. | flyfishersplaybook

https://flyfishersplaybook.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/come-to-your-senses

Come To Your Senses…. Hidy Ho Good Neighbors,. Did you hear that? My client says, Hear what? I thought I heard a fish eat on the surface downstream to our left , I reply. Nope, didn’t hear a thing , he says. This conversation, and many like it, happens often while I’m guiding. Seeing adult bugs fluttering over the river is important, but hearing fish eat on the surface without a visual clue is deadly. Also, the ability to discern by sound how the fish are eating on top, and the ability to make approp...

The next step…… | flyfishersplaybook

https://flyfishersplaybook.wordpress.com/2015/04/01/the-next-step

The next step……. Hidy Ho Good Neighbors! Last time I talked about the systematic approach in attacking the river. We discussed reading the water, fish and bugs, and how to formulate a plan. This plan is flexible, but is always cut out of the options cloth, and not the guesses cloth. Just like one roll cast should set up the next roll cast, one drift leads to and sets up the next one. Sytematically. So what is depth? Depth is where the fish are. Do I have to nymph fish to catch fish subsurface? Create a f...
