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.

Rainy Brook Trout Fishing

This past weekend Brian and I spent the weekend with family and close friends to enjoy a "Man's Weekend."  Right behind the cabin that we stayed at, was a small stream that opened up into a large pool littered with some beautiful brook trout.  I spent most of my Saturday fishing in the rain but my Smith polarized glasses helped me spot some of the fish and I ended up catching some colorful brookies!
Amazing color combinations!
The fly selection played some importance but I think even more stress was placed on the delicate presentation of the cast.  Intermittently, a person would try to hook up with one of these trout but more often then not would get sidetracked before catching anything.
The keys to success were patience, stealthy movement, and delicate presentation to have the fly cross paths with one of the native trout.    
Nice native Brook Trout
Gorgeous Brook Trout
Brian hooked up using a woven Rock Worm pattern.
