The past few years as many of you know I have been chaseing
the Steelhead with jigs and a float rod, lately I have been
feeling a bit nostalgic so I have been tieing classic and
traditional fly patterns such as the Stimulator and some
of the hair and feather winged streamers as well as dries
though tied with some modern materials....all still classic
patterns that have survived the test of time !
When I first started fly fishing I used a glass rod that
a friend gave me,an automatic reel and line that didn't
match the rod. I knew nothing about casting or tieing or
even why that Trout ate the fly with reckless abandon but
one thing I was sure of is I liked it and I persited through
a few frustrating seasons while learning more and more about
my new found sport.It has been a proggresion over the past
thirty five years with rods now made of graghite, reels
with a drag system and knoledge to the point of actually
over thinking the sport so here I am now getting back to
the basics and trying my best to not over think the sport.
