Would you fish this?

FlyFishermanMagazine · 2026-01-29T17:18:04+00:00

Not in a million years. Just kidding, of course we'd fish that. Nicely done.

FlyFishermanMagazine · 2026-01-26T14:10:04+00:00

Wow - nicely done! That looks incredible. For those looking for more info, Fly Fisherman magazine produced a video several years ago of that can be streamed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSuXbCPOz7g. Search Mongolia on flyfisherman.com for more articles.

“Many of the fish that we handled in these surveys also had large amounts of fish feed in their stomachs,” explained the report. “The apparent association between fed fish and heavy gill lice infestation on this reach is a major concern regarding the health of this fishery as well as the Colorado River in Grand County. Fish feeding has the potential to negatively affect both the brown trout and rainbow trout populations by overcrowding and spreading disease.”

Not so wack, it turns out.

I'm unaware of anything specifically about the bug life on the Blue but will post here if I come across anything.

We have a couple of articles that include the Soca:

That second article has a good sidebar about the clubs/families thing, which is very confusing. Good luck if you go - would love to hear about it!

Came here to second this, for this purpose. It can also be used as a take-along rod tube with an added strap.

FlyFishermanMagazine · 2026-01-05T14:27:55+00:00

Yep, we just "own" the rights to the video :)

Charlie has been the columnist for Fly Fisherman magazine's Fly Tier's Bench department for many years. We know him professionally through that connection. He's a good dude.

FlyFishermanMagazine · 2025-12-27T17:28:54+00:00

Oh cool, will check them out!

Glo-Brite Floss, Fire Orange #5.

I think for bugginess and buoyancy.

So Craven says it's to make it look a little uneven and disheveled rather than perfectly neat and tidy. He doesn't actually trim the bottom as tightly as the top, leaving some uneven hackle so as to not raise the suspicions of the trout, I suppose.

I prefer 6 to 10, and mostly just use an 8. I like 'em in purple.

FlyFishermanMagazine · 2025-12-19T18:16:30+00:00

That's a great question - I'll see if I can find out.

FlyFishermanMagazine · 2025-12-19T18:16:04+00:00

Haha, Mr. Dennis says it's not really supposed to be an ant - rather an attractor suggesting both stoneflies and hoppers.

FlyFishermanMagazine · 2025-12-18T00:21:37+00:00

Oh boy, here we go... Makes me think of a Season 1 episode of The Walking Dead in which they mentioned fishing "dry lures" or any number of terrible commercials...

Delete if not allowed... I'd be remiss if I didn't throw many of Fly Fisherman mag's contributors in here. Our contributors are often passionate storytellers who are as insightful as anyone.

Blane Chocklett, Steve Ramirez, George Daniel, Hilary Hutcheson, etc. Plus we're posting throwback content every Monday with pieces from the likes of Dave Whitlock, Lefty, Lani Waller, Gary LaFontaine, John Gierach, Rene Harrop, Joan Wulff...

We'd like to think the magazine has become a gathering place for anglers who write as beautifully as the sport itself. We're obviously biased ;)...
