FLIES: Bass Hook Fly

Posted in Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Northeast, tagged , , , on May 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »

A blurry, out-of-focus photo of a haphazzardly tied bendback on a bass hook. I guess it’s more aptly described as a weedless, but whatever, they’ve worked well for bass. I’ve been tying them to use on my northern pike trip next week. She ain’t pretty but she gits it done.

Bows in the Gloaming

Posted in Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Northeast, tagged , on April 30, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Longer days make late afternoon sneak-aways easier to come by. Fish the hour before dusk and see what happens.

(Photo from Carp on the Fly.)
Why have I declared 2008 the year of the carp? (For me anyway; Eric Byrnes of the AZ Diamondbacks has declared it to be “The Year of the Mustache.” ;) Because when I check out other blogs like the DayTripper and read stuff like this:
There’s an age old question. What happens [...]

NYC: Not Far From The Madding Crowd

Posted in Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Northeast, tagged , , , , , , on April 23, 2008 | 13 Comments »

Never fish Central Park during a school holiday. I headed up to the Park and met up with Randy Kadish and Matt Stansberry’s brother Nate to try for some bass. So did about 800 other people.

All Scouting, No Results

Posted in Fly Fishing, Freshwater, Inshore, Northeast on April 21, 2008 | 4 Comments »

The quest to find new waters continues. I’ve been complacent in my home area of late, hitting the usual spots and doing the same things.
