Swinging Flies – Elevate the Rod Tip

Swing Flies for Salmon

A while back we ran a poll on whether or not you like to hold a loop when swinging flies for andramous fish. We received a number of fantastic comments on many angler’s preferred swinging ‘style,’ and if you haven’t read them, we recommend you check them out! When it comes to swinging flies, personal…

Spicing Up Your Fly With a Bead

Trout flies and Trout Beads

There’s no denying the effectiveness of bead fishing for trout in Alaska. As the prolific runs of salmon in Western Alaska approach the end of their migration, thousands of eggs are released by each female salmon providing millions (if not billions) of protein-rich morsels for our resident rainbow trout, Arctic grayling, and dolly varden. The…

Spey Casting – The Lift

Whitney Gould with Steelhead

Many spey casting faults can be traced all the way back to the very beginning of the cast, that’s right, on the lift. It’s the lift that sets the stage for a well executed cast, yet it receives little attention from those looking to fine-tune their casting. However, we won’t waste time trying to convince you…

Casting on the Flats – Roundup

Fly Fishing for Bonefish

Every month or so, we like to run a roundup of posts related to a specific topic. We do this because we’ve written a lot of articles on a lot of topics, over two thousand actually, and you probably haven’t read them all! Today’s roundup topic? Fly casting on the flats! Learning to cast well under…

The Rubber Legged Gotcha – Tying Instructions

How to Tie the Rubber Legged Gotcha Bonefish Fly

It’s no secret that the Gotcha is one of the greatest bonefish flies of all time. We’d go out on a whim and say it has probably caught more bonefish than any other fly pattern in the world, and we use a lot of them. However, our bonefish on South Andros really seem to have…

Rigging With Wire – The Jam Knot

Rigging Flies with Wire

We really like throwing flies to barracuda at Andros South. They’re big, aggressive, and amazingly fast. They also have a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, which we think just adds to the excitement. Monofilament doesn’t last too long around barracuda, so we make sure to use a leader ending in 18 inches or so of…

Landing Fish Without a Net – 6 Tips

Landing Steelhead and Salmon Without a Net

The ability to ‘tail’ a fish, that is, the ability to land fish safely and effectively without a net is a skill every angler should posses. After all, we’ve all been on a trip where the net didn’t make it into the back of the pickup. Regardless, the old adage reigns true; if you want to catch…
