100 Years

Whether you’ve realized it or not, fly fishing is definitely an athletic sport.  No, it’s not a bruising contact sport, (unless you’re fighting sharks, tarpon or bill fish) but we all need to accept that it is not necessarily 100%  A River Runs Through It or completely safe from injuries.  In fact, statistics show that fly fishing is 100 times more dangerous than golf, and equally as dangerous as mountain climbing or hunting.  The adventure factor of our sport is one of the tantalizing things th

Gin clear, slow moving, spring creek water.  Birds singing in the background.  I am casting, squatted down far from the bank so as not to scare the spooky fish.  I can barely see the spot where I know there’s gotta be a fish.  False cast a few times to get enough line out to hit my target.  My #10 black leech lands spot on.  I am mixing it up - slow retrieve, long pause, fast retrieve, pause – a subtle pull back, I set the hook. Darn, missed the fish! Cast again – hit my target - mix up the re

Lahontan Trout

From the time I was a little girl, I was always different.  While other parents were successfully dressing their daughters for school in adorable ruffles and smocked dresses, my parents were wrestling me out of Dad’s fishing waders and rubber boots just long enough to go to school.  I was a girl acting in a uniquely creative, vehemently independent, and bracingly inquisitive manner.  I regularly challenged my parents as I wandered the creeks behind our home in search of exciting adventures and n

The Last Frontier

There are countless reasons of why I love fly fishing. It allows you to meet amazing people, and go to amazing places to see Mother Nature do her finest work. It’s a hobby that opens so many doors for those who are truly passionate about it.  Just through posting fishing pictures on social media, I have made new connections to people who share my love of the sport. Some of these people I can meet with in person, and some live on the other side of the country.  Some are now my closest friends who

The Golden West

When I left France to come to America after the second World War, my friends from school predicted that I would marry “The King of Chewing Gum.” The man I married many years later wanted to work at a service station that had a sign “Gone Fishing” and that’s how I found fly fishing and a whole new life. Our circle of friends were all men; avid fly fishers with just a couple women who went along with their husbands and enjoyed this new sport. A friend and I decided to start a “Women Fly Fishing”

Breathe

As I get closer to the river I start to hear her breathe. The birds keep a busy lead as the water thrums a heavy rhythm. Each step, I try to hold a steady tempo. The ballad ebbs as I remember why I am here. This is a new section of river for me and I’ve heard there are brook trout, the only native trout to this region, which grow to the size of sweet potatoes.  Brookies have become my passion, for I can’t seem to get their resplendent colors from my thoughts.  My connection to the brook trout h
