I've been on and off again about applying head cement or glueing my midge patterns when I'm done. One I didn't see the benefit, two it added an extra step to the process and three where do I put the flies to dry properly. Recently I've had many flies come apart after just a fish …
Beaver Tailwaters Dec 27th
Great morning fishing in the cold and freezing rain. Fishing was pretty productive with several different midge patterns. Good midges were Black with silver, Black with copper, White with red thorax, Blue dun, Purple, and Rootbeer. Sub-micro jigs in white and olive were productive as well. Caught around 30 fish in about 4 hours. Weather …
Beaver Tailwaters Dec 26th
Great morning fishing!!!! Great morning fishing the Beaver Tailwaters. Morning started out pretty cold, then the sun came out and it was beautiful. Almost got warm enough to take off my jacket. Then the wind picked up and the cloud cover came back and the temp dropped. Didn't get real cold, but it did a …
Gettin’ Ready
Tying up some new flies using Daiichi 1130 size 18 hooks. This is to replace the flies I tied using Mustard and Saber brand hooks that kept bending. You can really tell the Daiichi is a much firmer hook in the vice. With the other hooks there was a lot of movement as I applied …
Beaver Tailwater Dec 21
Another nice morning fishing the Beaver Tailwaters. Conditions were same as yesterday, low 40's, overcast, but with a very occasional wind.

Nice morning fishing the Beaver Tailwaters. Temp was in the low 40's, but felt very comfortable as there wasn't any wind. Overcast all morning with a misting fog for the first hour. Fish were a little finicky this morning, didn't really seem to key on anything to strong. Black, Purple and Olive Zebra Midges did fairly …
Beaver Tailwaters – Dec 13, 2014
Another great December morning to fish. The weather was nice this morning with temperatures in the very comfortable mid 50's with no wind and overcast. I started off with the morning with the trusty ole black zebra midge and started catching almost immediately. After several netted fish, I switched to the copper midge and rusty midge and did pretty …

After taking a couple weekends off for vacation with the family, it was a great day fishing today on my home turf of the Beaver Tailwaters. The temp was a nice and cool 45 degrees with a on and off again strong breeze from the north. Fished just down from the upper handicap access to the …
