Fly fishing community, tips and gear review
If you only wet wade warm water during the summer then read no further. Instead check out a pair of wading boots and ensure your feet are properly protected. However, most of us will eventually find ourselves fishing in cooler water or in colder temperatures and you’ll need something more […]
Fly fishing is a complicated disease. It infects victims with a desire not only to succeed by catching fish, but also to do it in one of the most difficult ways. For fly fishermen, the true satisfaction comes not from the trophy, but from the pursuit. This affects every aspect […]
The overhead cast has been the quintessential way to cast a fly rod for decades, and really, why wouldn’t it be? It’s incredibly effective and gives the angler the ability to cast short, medium, or even long distances. Not only that, but man does it look pretty when done properly. […]
