I found a truly inspiring fly fishing article today by Michigan native, Dave Karcinski….it is titled “Dialed In.” It’s one of the best pieces I’ve read in quite some time. Please give this a read as Dave walks you, the reader, through some advanced thoughts and concepts to make you a better fly guy.
There is no better time to start thinking about a re-model in your own wiring…meaning think differently about certain set ups. How often we just continue to muddle our way through with little or no success and we do so without trying to venture out on a limb. This year step back and think about diversifying your fly fishing portfolio. Be well rounded as you hit the stream. Take advice from anyone and everyone…at least lend an ear to what is working for them…even if ‘them’ are gear guys.
I think you’ll enjoy this well written piece as well as I did and if there is one thing I see often from novice fly guys…they are afraid to step out of their comfort zone. Lastly, I love the advice written by Dave on tying your own flies. These are truths that you’ll only understand once you’ve made a connection between fly tying and the water moving in front of you! If you really want to connect with more fish, then be a better fly tyer.

DR. SLICK To the Rescue
Just last week I was once again out on one of my local rivers when I hooked a small pike; if you have ever dealt with pike or any toothy creature then you know and can understand how important it is to have a utensil to safely remove the hook and to not get ‘hooked’ […]
Low Water, Upstream Wind And A 20 Inch Smallmouth Bass
Greetings and welcome back to another fly fishing adventure. Today’s video will give some insight into how to handle low, clear water … in addition to an upstream wind that made navigating my float boat pretty tough. It took me about a half hour to find a pattern that worked and as you will see […]
Streamers In June for Big Bronzebacks
Greetings and welcome to another video here on Fly Fishing With Jeff. In today’s video, I travel down 4-5 miles of the St Croix river in search of big bronzebacks …. smallies! While I catch a few on a popper, the real magic comes when I tie on one of my own reversed tied bucktail […]
