View ArticleFriday Fish Fry –“Long Flies” Cover Fish
Realized that I forgot to post this on Friday. Sitting in my “drafts” area, but never published, so here it is as a Friday/Sunday Fish Fry. And what is it, you ask? It’s the back-cover fish from the...

From years back, on a trip to Russia’s Kola Peninsula. One of many browns that nudged the measuring tape well past the 20-inch mark. Went for a bit of funky photo filtering on this one, just because I...

Yes, Long Flies is taking its time in getting done, but at least GB is well into book #4 of the “Fly Fishing” series, so once I get caught up with LF, I’ll just jump into that. But, in the meantime, I...

Fly 10.67 from Long Flies shown as two halves (hey, it’s a *long* long fly). This is one of Bill Sherer’s beastly 4/0 BP muskie patterns. Don’t try to be a “hero” with a seven-weight when it comes time...

This is an Oregon fish, a big-shouldered ‘bow sight fished on a little piece of water that I enjoy visiting now and again. The ‘bow was cruising slowly just off the bottom and sipped a little weighted...

A well-worn Christmas greeting, but since I’m a bit laid-up at the moment I had to dig into the archives for something pre-made. And in case you are wondering, yes, the above fish-size ratio still...

Spent some time looking for carp in Portland recently, and I do mean in Portland. As it turned out, no carp, but no matter. It was a warm spring morning, with the smell of grass, trees and water, and...

A shot taken at Vermejo Ranch in northern New Mexico. This brown was cruising a weed-choked lake shoreline, looking for damsels, snails, or whatever else might have seemed tasty. Vernejo is a place...

After fielding a small heap of emails on the subject, I figured that I had better post a pic of my daughter, Brooke. Looking at those eyes, I think you can probably understand why I am a pile of mush...

When she asks for a new fly rod and a Mustang convertible, what do you think daddy is going to say? Edit: Forgot about the pony. There is always a pony. I am so done for…. ©2013 Fish, Flies &...

Kel just sent this to me, and I had to put it up. That makes two Brooke posts in a day here at FF&W, but I can’t resist the cuteness factor, especially with the fly bib addition (thanks to “uncle”...
