Almost Got Skunked, Jan 2nd

Another great day to hit the water for the New Year.  Fishing was a little tough this morning.  I only managed to land one fish on a Rootbeer Midge and that was after I had tried nearly everything in my fly box. When I got to the Beaver Tailwaters around 9:30am, I found they hadContinueContinue reading “Almost Got Skunked, Jan 2nd”

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 aContinueContinue reading “Beaver Tailwaters Dec 26th”

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 prettyContinueContinue reading “Beaver Tailwaters – Dec 13, 2014”
