12yrs old A rod, an extension of your arm it’s early in the morning and the fog is still gently rolling off the pond SNAP bad day for a certain lunar moth or other aquatic life I feel the energy being cast on my back from the fiery sun rising over the precipitous mountain to my left, the fall foliage becomes clear on the undisturbed surface of the water I tickle a dry coachmen over the glassy water but suddenly the silence is broken the serenity shattered as a brilliant red fla...

After hearing so much about this river and the rather large steelhead that winter in it I have to admit my interest was piqued.  What fly junkie wouldn’t be?  Most discussions did bring up a number of issues that would leave a solitary female flyfisher cold:  the stench of rotting post-spawn fish; elbow-to-elbow combat fishing; being knocked over and deafened by a fellow angler that hooks up and immediately megaphones “FISH ON, FISH ON” while chasing his silver bullet; squa...

Moody’s spawning is in full swing for all of this year stockies (brook, bow and browns) and I’ve been doing more observing and underwater filming than fishing as of recent. The past couple of days the pond has been covered in milt and large spawning beds have been cleared. I caught a rainbow a week ago that was dropping eggs when I inspected it.

I was scheduled to take care of some car stuff up by north this Friday and I got a call from a pal who frequents Moody Pond.  His name is Toby and he’s hooked on fly fishing. A little background, Toby is new to fly fishing and has fished the pond with me and on his own a number of times.  The kid is a natural to say the least.  He’s caught a number of fish when no one else was catching on Moody. Toby had never fished the Androscoggin River or has experienced wade fishing in wader... Read Full Story

My first how-to fly tying video.  With the fall season quickly approaching, here in the North East it’s time to gear up and make sure you have a healthy supply of bait fish imitations for the fall fattening season and slumpbusters are a great pattern for hungry fish like this rainbow. Another great bunny bait fish pattern if your looking to live a bit larger is Nome’s Nusance Share and Enjoy: Read Full Story
