Now where are those other pictures hiding?

The Feathered Hook in Coburn, PA

The Feathered Hook is known in the Penns Creek fishery as a great place to pick up the specialized flies needed to fool the ultra-selective Penns Creek Brown trout. Who knew they were You-Tube celebreties as well?

First Cast 2011 at the Junction Pool

Roscoe, NY to host celebrities for the opening of the 2011 Trout Fishing Season.

The Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum has lured Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo to Saturday's First Cast event as well as jazz pianist and Grammy winner Laurence Hobgood.

The two will make the ceremonial first casts of the year at the famous Junction Pool.

The Beaverkill and Willowemoc are two of the country's most storied and historic trout streams, making the Junction Pool the logical choice for official site of opening day ceremonies.
April 1 is NY opening day, but the museum has arranged its festivities for Saturday when most anglers can be afield.
A full event schedule is planned for Saturday.  Ted Patlen will tie flies in the Museum alongside noted Pennsylvania wet fly expert Don Bastian.  Don will also be displaying his collection of Bergman wet flies for the last time.

At 6 p.m. the annual Roscoe Chamber of Commerce Two Headed Trout Dinner will take place at the Rockland House.

Not because it is great,

just because we've all been there.

Spring Creek This Weekend

Double D and I decided to make a quick trip to see if we could not get into a few fish and break his new year fishless streak. (mine was broke last week) As you can see above we were successful. Although there was not yet any surface action a few olives were present and the nymph action was quite awesome with many fish hooked and landed.

I want to go fishing with Herb...

or is it the Yampa?



Herb looks like fun and I dig his choice of soundtrack tunes.

Maybe it is Herb after all?

Spring Creek Last Weekend

Last weekend I met Stu and "da Bear" out for some fishing on spring creek. Hopes were high for a BWO hatching with furious dry fly action, but like a fat chick hoping to get lucky at the prom it was not to be. Both Stu and Bear shook off the New year rust and landed fish.
