Folks,
The deal of the century is nearly upon us! If you have always wanted to learn how to Fly Fish, or just do it better, this weekend is your shot. Scroll down a little on this page to look at the flier with all the details. You'll be happy you did!
I hit my favorite stretch of the South Branch on Friday. The sun was shining in and out of the clouds, the weather was warm and the fishing was great.
I thought that there might be Hendricksons, but no such luck. There were Blue Quills and Grannom Caddis out. The caddis were everywhere.
The only unfortunate thing was that I left my butt pack (and all my flies and leaders) at home on the floor of my garage.
I did happen to have two EHCs on my lanyard though, so all was not lost. Those two flies scored me 4 brookies, 4 browns and a rainbow-all wild.
My pants were sagging though, as with every backcast, I thought Id be donating to the tree Gods. Somehow, all my casts landed true and I came home with the same two flies.
Spring just rocks! I wish I was out there today!
I was able to get out for a few hours on the Musky Saturday morning. After three trips to the South Branch where I turned a few heads and had to settle for suckers, not trout, I needed a good day.
I got it. in the form of stocked rainbows. The fish were hungry and cooperating. I fished a jig head hares ear and a San Juan trailer. The stockies almost all took the worm. The final count was two on the hairs ear and over 10 on the worm.
I got home by noon and spent the rest of the day in the yard, with the family, doing chores.
Central Chapter of TU was out doing the Musky clean up and made me feel guilty, but I had a buddy out with me who recently had back surgery and need his fix of trout fishing. I only felt guilty for a short period of time.
Bill Sjovall emailed me and reminded me that we are doing the Hacklebarney Fly Fishing School this May 3rd and 4th at the Hackettstown Hatchery. To sum this up, there is simply no better way to be immursed into fly fishing. This two day school will have you casting better, knowing the tackle you need, knowing trout feeding habits and much more.
This is the best thing for that buddy of yours who has always said he wants to learn more about getting into the sport.
Great instruction, a great price and a location that cant be beat. What are you waiting for? Space is limited, so book today!
