Why We Like Maltese Puppies #maltese

By trtfshng84 / January 27, 2019 / Fishing

Yesterday, was able to get a cast or two with the TFO Fly Rod. Casting the OPST Commando Head with the coated running line made for much easier line management. So far so good… will likely use this rod in place of the 5wt that has been “retired” to the closet. Have a video of… [read more]

Quick Tie – No Herl Griffith’s Gnat #flytying

By trtfshng84 / January 20, 2019 / Fishing

Here is a simple tie for an already simple pattern… it’s a Griffith’s Gnat less the Peacock Herl. Mainly use this one as a trailing fly to a tandem rigged lead streamer like a Wooley Bugger or Near Deere. It’s fished wet but can be fished dry as well. Tends to do well when “bugs”… [read more]
Why We Like the Echo Ion Fly Reels #productreview

By trtfshng84 / January 19, 2019 / Fishing

We like the Echo Ion Fly Reel for various reasons and for several seasons thought we had the complete line of reel weights. They come in the following weights: 2/3, 4/5, 6/7, 7/9, 8/10, and 10/12. After a little cleaning of the “fishing play room” learned we did not have the 7/9 weight. In short… [read more]
