Flies For Fall Browns & Steelies

My flies of choice for fishing big bad browns and steelies in the Lakes Ontario and Erie tributaries. Hot Ass Yellow Zonker, Yellow Marabou Muddler, Mickey Finn, Yellow Zoo Cougar. OK, so fall leaf colors, fall fly colors. Sizes 2-6 are the choice. Tight lines.

Jack Dennis Retires

Rumor has it that former Fly Fishing Team USA guru, Jack Dennis, is retiring from much of his active work in the fly fishing industry. He will be around and about, but is easing back considerably.

Who's The Boss?

Toad, spider or mosquito (on back leg of toad)?

Big Bad Brown

Bee Eating A Pork Chop

Last March in Chile, while on our great South American Trout Expedition, my friend Mike and I were fascinated by the bees that would come in and cut out a chunk of meat to take away. They would land and cut out a hole-punch-size piece of meat, tuck it up under the thorax and abdomen and lift off like a heavily-laden helicopter. This occurred every day during our shore lunch. So cool.
