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

Bead Head Flashback Pheasant Tail 

This pattern is the fly of the week because it's going to be the supreme sulphur nymph imitation for the next few weeks. This pheasant tail pattern has been by far the best sulphur nymph imitation for me for the last I don't know how many years. Check out the site I got the pictures off of for more tying inspiration! http://www.kyndoutdoors.com/fly-fishing/fly-tying-patterns-details.cfm?id=200
