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

Taylor's Fat Albert

This fly was originally turned on to me in Chile as a massive attractor fly that could bring fish up from the depths. It can be fished on the dead drift, skated like a mouse, or stripped like a popper. All of the methods are effective and it seems to catch fish everywhere I go. Right now in PA I'd be throwing one of these at first light up underneath the willows and thick overhangs to try to get that big brown to feed on what he thinks is either a large beetle or a small mouse. 

Recipe:
Hook: TMC100 sz 2-10 (8 is probably good in PA)
Thread: Uni 6/0; Black
Body: 2mm foam;Black 
Wing: Calf Hair; White
Wing Case/ Indicator: 2mm foam; Red
Legs: Round rubber legs; small black
