Looks great!
A few redfish crack guide flies. A super easy tie for skinny water reds.

Will do. Got these hooks in bulk off eBay, so they're from a bygone era. Barbs be gone!
Trio of silicone wing caddis flies.

Intermediate line, weighted flies on a short leader, stripping basket, and lots of patience. Focus in whitewash or at inlets. Start early and follow the birds.
Sometimes you just gotta tie a few trash flies. Squirminators FTW.

Did a bit of exploring in the Black Mountain area to see how WNC trout fared after Helene. Lots of devastation but a few wild 'bows seem to have survived.

What happens if the fish takes the hopper? Does it slide down to the dropper?
Restocking the high floater box for suspending tungsten nymphs in dry-dropper rigs. Hard to beat a chubby chernobyl! #flyfishing #flytying #onthevise
Got a chance to chase some albies on the fly for the 2024 Cape Lookout False Albacore and Redfish Festival. Such an incredible experience if you've never had one of these beasts make your reel scream!

This aligns with the way the left handles communication on lots of topics. We've spent the past few decades acting as if giving people facts and figures is enough to change their values, but their values weren't based on facts and figures in the first place. The key is telling a story they can FEEL.
Upper 60s, bumping up into the low 70s. Fishing was good for a while but then turned off when temps started falling later in the afternoon.
Managed to sneak out for some cold weather farm pond action on the 7wt H3 and a green sparkle minnow.

Good to see Tyson settling in a bit.
Redfish Cracklin tied on an Ahrex SA280. Love tossing these to tailers in the marsh.

Would love to join. I fly fish for mountain trout, carp, and saltwater species in North Carolina.
Yep, for redfish, pompano, whiting, and other inshore species in North Carolina.
I made a thing.
