Fly fishing for beginners; Fly Casting

Fly casting methods for beginners are difficult enough to learn. Unfortunately, it would be rare for most serious fly fishermen to want a newbie coming with them on a fly fishing expedition.

Trout Fly Fishing

OK, let's assume that I know nothing about fly fishing for trout, that I am a total newbie to it. First, what exactly is it? Fly fishing for trout means that you've taken feathers or even fur and attached it to a hook so that when it lands in the water, the fish will think that it is actually a naturally occurring food, such as a preferred bug. This is why it's called fly fishing. In order for the fish to think that a bug has fallen into the water, you will need an exceptionally light fishing… Continue

After the long hot summer temperatures, we are finally cooling and the rain has come.

High Mountain Adventures in Northern Idaho

Trilby Blog August 24th In our never ending quest for breath taking fish footage, we decided to head for the Trilby lakes. Near the border of Montana and deep in the Frank Church Wilderness, Trilby is a seven hour drive north and west from Boise. We gathered our gear and made for the trail head on Sunday the 23rd, camped the night there, and set off during the black day light of the 24th. The walk was practically cake! The trail starts way up on a major divide and it follows it for 8 miles. Th… Continue
