The weather is turning cool and I'll soon be back at the seabass in Tokyo Bay. Spent the morning topping up on dark backed surf candies for night fishing. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Everybody needs a gnat… CBG, size 18. #buggyAF #flytying #flyfishing

Felt like something a bit different today so I went with one of the earliest "modern" hairbugs. The Henshall bug dates back to the 1800s, I'm looking forward to catching a 21st century bass on it. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

A nice, tight, chuggy slider in a kind of bluegill scheme. Wish I had put one more fine black stripe in the back though. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Here's a short of the heather fly bits. As always the full tutorial is on YouTube now. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Saved the back end of the exploded bug the other day and re-did the hair. No bad, no perfect. Will fish. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

youtu.be/2T1YESInCac?... After the foam pattern tutorial I was asked for a simpler pattern. So here's a killer from years ago that's still deadly today: the heather fly bits. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

More wet daddies. Mirage and badger this time. Better for clear water and/or bright conditions imo. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

A wee clutch of silver daddies for myself. Playing with the new fullingmill thread and floss. The 70 den twisted seems to be a bit finer and slicker than uni 8/0. The floss is nice and bright and a bit heavier than glo-brite

Just like the dwarves of Moria, I went too deep and brought disaster upon myself. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

It's not all fly fishing... Spent the morning splicing and whipping assist hooks for jigging. #fishing #jigging #assisthook

Caisley's Cleg, a horsefly imitation that is ideal for the hill lochs especially when there's a bit of a blow and some stock around. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Is this the weakest confession ever? I've got loads of stories about how I didn't eat a bee.

Went to visit a river I'd left alone for a few years because of a lot of construction work. The smallmouth bass still seemed absent but the barbel and carp are back in numbers. A handful of carp and a couple of barbel on terrestrial dries and crayfish imitations. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Daily river scene: Here's a site on the Bois Brule River in Wisconsin. #flyfishing #rivers

youtu.be/cohm8c_mBZ8?... A good one for the summer evenings #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

youtu.be/SROOLcIjg2c?... #flyfishing #flytying #fishing Simple. Classic. Deadly.

Here are some nice mushrooms

"Pegged attractors" on fly fishing leaders will no longer be allowed in the river's Gray Reef and Cardwell sections. Single barbless hooks are also a new requirement for an area that’s struggled with angler-injured trout and has been overrun, by some standards. wyofile.com/on-the-north...

Poor conditions so far. But it brightened up for a couple of hours this afternoon. Trevally are quite catchable when you can see them. All of them came to my White's Trigger Warning mantis. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Last few this morning before heading to the island. Mandaclawrian with a fibre carapace. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Last pre-trip casting session today, unless I can squeeze one more last one in tomorrow. THE MOST IMPORTANT thing you can do before a flats trip. Dinner plates to 60' #flyfishing #flytying #fishing #saltwaterflyfishing #flycasting

Clouser crayfish for me. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

A few buzzers and nymphs for upcoming tutorial vids & the next giveaway box. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

Floating crab. A few of these going in just in case. #flyfishing #flytying #fishing

i can't stand the sayings "history will not be kind" or "history will be harsh on ___." First, whoever it is directed at doesn't give a flying fuck. Second, how about we are not kind to them now and judge them accordingly in real time.
