Spreading Didymo Through Stocking

OK, so there is didymo in the Farmington River. CT harvests fish for breeding stock from the Farmington River.These fish are transported from the river to the hatchery. Sounds to me like this also brings rock snot to the hatchery. Or are the breeding stock given a bath first? Ha. What about the contamination of the equipment and trucks used to the chauffeur stocking fish around the state?  I am no expert, but where do my felt soles factor in here? Oh, and by the way, I have yet to see one bird-washing station. How do water foul and other animals decontaminate before traipsing from one body of water to the other?

The Best Floatant: Dry Magic

This is an unique silicone floatant that works wonders on all dry flies and it lasts forever. Works extremely well on CDC and Snowshoe rabbit flies; will not mat down the fibers. This is the one floatant that won't let you down or let your flies sink.

Quick Tye: Flexi-Floss Worm

Hook, bead and flexi-floss and you are good to go. Very effective in red as well. Don't leave home without 'em.

The true fisherman approaches the first day of fishing with all the sense of wonder and awe of a child approaching Christmas.

Trout Madness

Shout Out To The Trout Master

Nice fish Bill. Sorry about the quality, but I was perched high in a tree, with a telephoto lens. I shared my lunch with a squirrel named, Rusty. He said he knows you pretty well??

Toothy Critters On The Fly

It's that time of year! Nice beast Jen. Go deep with wild flies on big sharp hooks to catch these hens.   "That particular fish actually dropped her eggs in my hand when I was taking off the fly. Then she reached around to eat them.  What a bitch!"
