Rigging // The Hopper Dropper

We have put up a few posts over the past month going over different ways to set up a nymph rig.  Today I wanted to share with you my personal favorite way to fish a nymph and that is one where it is hung below a dry fly.  The Hopper Dropper set up is not…

3 Common Mistakes When Winter Fishing

Winter fishermen are a rare breed. They are the ones that know they are going to put up with some abuse for the chance at possibly hooking a fish.  The ones that are able to ignore the forecast and strap up their waders anyways. The ones that understand fishing is always better than not fishing, regardless of…

Winter Trout Fishing On Tailwaters

It is almost that time of year when summer fishing spots begin to get a little icy.  If you are lucky enough to live in an area with winter steelhead opportunities we are very jealous and hope you take advantage of them.  If not, you may have some winter fishing options available through tailwaters.  These…

Advice on Streamer Fishing Techniques for Fall

In my opinion, fishing streamers is one of the most fun ways to catch trout.  I love how voracious and un-trout like they act.  Usually when trout fishing (outside of Alaska), the current is bringing our flies to the fish.  When streamer fishing it is the opposite, we are triggering something aggressive inside the trout…

Originated by the legendary Jack Dennis in Jackson Wyoming, this general attractor should be in your fly box in a range of colors and sizes. …

Under Appreciated Food Source for Trout // The Crane Fly

On most productive trout streams, the food menu throughout the year can be intimidating.  From the big three aquatic insects (mayflies, caddisflies, and stoneflies), to crustaceans, terrestrials, midges, and even other fish.  Just walk into any Western fly shop and you will see an overwhelming amount of fly bins, all filled with different imitations.  One…

5 Tips for Catching Educated Trout

I believe all fish are smart.  If they weren’t, they’d be dead.  With that being said, I think a fish being educated is different than a fish being smart.  An educated fish (or trout for the sake of this article) is one that deals with a lot of angling pressure.  As the popularity of fly…

5 Favorite BWO patterns

In trout streams across the country (unfortunately neglecting Alaska as we are a couple months behind everyone) the spring thaw brings about a favorite food for the river’s residents, the Blue Winged Olive.  A member of the mayfly genus Baetis, once the water temps get above 40 degrees, these little grey sailboats start to hatch…

Timeless Tips // See a Trout Move? Set your Hook!!!

When trout fishing, if you see a fish move (whether it moves erratically or just subtly in the water column) set the hook!  I’ve had countless times when guiding where I see a fish move (yet the strike indicator remains undisturbed) and the client doesn’t set.  More often then not, when you see that movement,…
