Spring Creek: Edges, Hoppers (and Droppers) and some other thoughts 20 July 2019, 3:42 pm
Fish the edges! If you’ve been around fly fishing for a while this is probably not news. But if you’re newer to the game then maybe it is a handy piece of advice. What I mean by “fishing the edges” is to fish the banks. I learned about fishing the banks by fishing Spring Creek. Very often trout can be found hanging tight to the banks (within inches sometimes) and when wading you’ll find yourself spooking these trout. Take the cue and focus on these fish. If there is...

Just One Thing: Adam Trahan 23 April 2019, 10:47 am
Adam Trahan is an early adopter of tenkara here in the U.S. and though I cannot recall exactly where I first ran into Adam – it was pretty early on in my tenkara days. So I wanted to make sure to get a “Just One Thing” piece with Adam. If you haven’t read the other “Just One Thing” posts the main idea is that I ask the anglers “If you could tell other anglers just one thing what would it be?” Without further ado – I turn it over to Adam.

Tenkara Book and Tenugui Giveaway 5 March 2019, 1:13 pm
If there’s anybody in the US tenkara scene that needs no introduction at all it’s Daniel Galhardo of Tenkara USA.

Since then I did the art for a few more TUSA Summits, met Daniel a few times, got to fish with him once at the Vi...

I am going to try and do a series of guest posts on CastingAround called “Just One Thing” where I am asking some friends to offer up a short bit of advice.

As look back on 10 years of CastingAround I cannot help but think about Tenkara’s big appearance in the USA which happened...

Why Wouldn’t We Support The New England Marine Monument? 21 March 2017, 6:02 pm
In an effort to revoke, opponents paint the picture that all fishermen are opposed… Well, we aren’t! Whatever your political leanings, one has to acknowledge that the Obama Administration did something extraordinary last fall. Through the Antiquities Act, it protected almost five thousand miles of an…

Of Menhaden, Stripers Threshers and Whales 8 April 2015, 2:09 pm
ASMFC has a critical decision to make in May. Do they increase harvest at the first sign of improvement, having really no idea what that will mean for predators dependent on bunker, or do they take a different route and manage for the ecosystem.

On Forage Fish… Managing the Unmanaged 4 November 2014, 2:10 pm
Are large-scale fisheries for sandeels, silversides, bay anchovies etc. coming to a coast near you? Really, if you fish, at all, this is important… for a very basic reason — If there’s no bait, there’s no fishing. If you spend more than a few days…

Keeping a Trout for Dinner? 12 July 2013, 2:00 pm
I have not taken a trout home for dinner in a few years. Out of the few dozen rainbow, brown and brook trout that I brought to the net, each fish was released back to the stream and swam back into the depths. I practice catch and release fishing for the health of the streams, knowing that if we were all to keep every fish caught, the rivers would soon be empty. The simplest reason why I release the fish that I catch is that I do not enjoy killing a fish. Rainbow and brown trout are beautifu...

Fly Fishing and Conservation 12 December 2011, 6:52 am
When first learning to fly fish, all of our energies are consumed in mastering the basics; getting the right gear, learning to cast, becoming comfortable wading through the stream. Then we hook our first trout. When the line goes taut, our adrenaline spikes. We somehow manage to get the fish to the net and break out in a wide smile, whether the fish is a eight inch brown or an eighteen inch rainbow. We begin to become comfortable in our own skin as anglers and we have held a good number o...

Fly Fishing and Compassion 29 August 2011, 10:15 pm
Compassion is a core value in many religious traditions. Judaism teaches that everyone, no matter how poor, must give tzedakah, charity, to remember that there is always someone out there in a more difficult situation. Jews must also visit the sick, feed the hungry and perform gemilut hasadim, acts of loving kindness.A day of fly fishing in Argentina this spring reminded me that compassion can occur on a stream as well. Although not in the famous fly fishing region of Patagonia, my guide Lucas a...

Fly Fishing & Frustration 17 January 2011, 3:00 am
Fly fishing is filled with times of frustration: getting rained out on the stream, losing a fly in a low hanging branch, being unable to thread your thin tippet line through the hole of a tiny little hook because your hands are too cold. One time I drove an hour from home to fish a new river. When I opened the trunk to put on my gear, I discovered that I had my vest and net, but had left my fly fishing rod at home. Perhaps the ultimate frustration in fly fishing is not catching any fish. Sometim...

Mid summer into mid autumn is prime time for small stream, warm water fly fishing.

The main game are smallmouth bass, rock bass, and red-breast sunfish. Many of these creeks also have largemouth bass, carp, fallfish, green sunfish, bluegills, hatchery trout, crappies, even pickerel and walleyes. Howe...

Fly Fishing Getting Started - The Mayfly Stages of Life 101 28 April 2019, 7:00 am
A mayfly hatch is the grand finale in the year long seasonal play that returns annually for trout and anglers. This show begins the previous season with mature female mayflies, called spinners, laying their eggs on the surface of the water(video). The eggs shortly hatch into small larvae and quickly change into nymphs.The nymph phase of the mayfly is the longest and will last just about one year. Different species of mayflies can be found in different parts of a stream. Some prefer the faster w...

Stream Reports for Paflyfish 25 April 2019, 9:20 am

The differences dialog has been played out time and time again.

Pre-Spawn Bass Fishing 18 March 2019, 3:40 am
While most Pennsylvania fly fishermen target river smallmouths during the summer, bass can be successfully targeted all year and the "pre-spawn" is among the best times, especially if you're after large fish. When water temps hit the mid 40s - this would usually coincide with mid March here in the southcentral part of the state - river smallies become noticeably more active and move up out of their winter hibernacula. These winter locations are usually the deepest part of a river, often the low,...
