We decided to write this blog as a way of sharing some of our stories from past experiences fishing, tying flies, guiding, and traveling. Most of which are completely 100% true except for the names of people, some stories are slightly embellished and some are mostly made up. It's really for you to figure it out and for us to have some fun writing down some of the truly good memories we have had while immersed in fly fishing.

Fly Spotlight - Trico Spinner

Trico fishing is something that is fun but challenging to fish.  The flies are in abundance but the size of the insect can be sometimes tricky to entice a fish to take.  Drag free drifts and the key to having success while fishing these small flies!  Tricos offer a fisherman a challenging hatch to fish in the morning while not putting as much stress on the fish due to the lower AM water temperatures.
