A Thought on Definitions in Fishing

Is a Clouser minnow a fly or a jig? The pragmatist in me says that because it’s cast using fly line then it is a fly. The puritan in me says it’s presented the same as a jig and therefore isn’t necessarily a fly. If you tipped a nymph with a piece of a wiggler […]

Late Night Fly Tying

I’ve been fishing San Juan Worms (SWJs) quite a bit recently. I know purists hate them. They don’t think they’re real flies. Whatever. I’m just trying to catch fish. Over the past two days I’ve caught countless sunfish, bass, and a catfish on this SWJ pattern. I’ve even hooked a few trout. That shows you […]

Late Night Fly Tying Returns

Late night fly tying is back. The only semblance of a recurring thread that this blog might ever know has returned, kinda. I haven’t stopped tying, or staying up all night. I just haven’t blogged about it recently. Don’t worry. You haven’t missed much. Fishing has been slow. I haven’t been out much, meaning I haven’t lost […]

Late Night Fly Tying

I have got to stop tying and get on the water. Still, I haven’t had time to change that. We’ve had steady rain for the past several days (staying away from the river for a while), and it has gone from cool to freakin’ freezing! I’m afraid the bass have holed up – have I […]

Late Night Fly Tying

I’m back at the vise tonight. I’m feeling optimistic, even though I’ve been fumbling and wasting material all evening/morning. I guess I feel pretty good for having such an off night at the vise. Maybe I’m feeling good because our house smells like a Christmas Tree. Maybe I’m feeling good because it seems like changes […]

Holiday Fly Tying

It’s been a week since Thanksgiving, but things haven’t slowed down. Thanksgiving is just the unofficial starting flag for Christmas, which keeps everyone busy. We’ve been traveling a lot over the past few days, and now that we’re back in Nashville it’s time to catch up on a lot. Over the break I’ve quite a […]

Midmorning Fly Tying

Yep. You read the title correctly. I’m on somewhat of a normal sleeping schedule (for now). I was able to get up this morning after sleeping a full 8 hours, and drink a few cups of coffee while tying flies. It felt refreshingly normal. Outside of tying flies that I haven’t used, there’s not much […]

Late Night Fly Tying

I’m back at the fly bench after a short hiatus. Typically whenever I take time off that means I haven’t lost enough flies. Don’t worry, though. One trip to the gulf and a few trips to the river will change that in a hurry. Tonight (last night) was a frustrating night. I needed dark wooly […]

Late night fly tying

That’s a pretty crappy picture. I guess that’s what happens when you take all of your pictures with a cell phone camera. Pictured above is one of my favorite flies. I’m not going into what it is because if you’ve ever read a post on this blog then you know. I guess I need to […]

Late Night (Early Morning) Fly Tying

There’s not much to report. I’ve just been tying some simple flies. I’m heading back to the river in a few hours (hopefully) and I need some more bluegill ammo. Don’t worry I’ve got my cross-eyed carp assassins, and believe me, I’ll give ’em a shot. Tonight was just about getting some bugs the sunfish will […]
