If you have ever wanted to learn to fly fish, there is still plenty of time left in the year! Every fly angler I have guided in the last couple of months has started learning how to fly fish while catching fish regularly through the trip. Size, numbers, and variety have helped us enjoy some banner days on the water.

With the shiners not being present at the launch, its always helpful to have other bait. Did not slow down catch rates, just increased โ€œby catchโ€ on a perch trip. That means more gills and redears than usual. Still adds up to a respectable number of perch and a cooler full.
