New Vise

Yesterday I got a new toy in the mail.

I got the Regal Revolution series vise! This thing is bad ass. I cant wait to tie up some new bugs on it. I will keep everyone up to date as to what I am pumping out.

What keeps me busy

Here is what occupies my time when I'm not chasing heads on the D


I fish and guide on the Salmon River in Pulaski, NY
Its cold, but the fish are big. It is a great way to waste time. lol

new year, fresh start

Well I received a complaint at the Somerset show this past weekend that I wasn't blogging anymore, well I am planning on fixing that this winter, and spring.

so here it is my first post of 2012. I am excited about the upcoming season and cant wait to see the first fish and bugs of the season. As January ends tonight that means that I will be back on the D full time in less than 2 months. In the word of Bart Scott "Can't Wait" if you dont know what on earth I am talking about here is some insight.

Well enjoy Superbowl Sunday.
Enjoy the nice weather and check back in to see what flies I have coming down the pipe for the spring

Big Fish, Fun Times!

The Fishing has been good! Sorry it has taken me so long to post again but I have been trying to get my fill of Hendricksons. Guiding has been pretty good recently, each day picking the right float has been the key. Plenty of bugs on some sections and in other spots not as many. Where there are bugs there are some seriously big fish that are rising. Young and Woo Jin came up and fished with me Young was rewarded with two awesome fish, one was an absolute slob.




Dave and Beth Fished and got 3 REAL good ones, all on Hendrickson emergers. It was a great day These two love to fish!






Last but not least. Nick stoped by, for his weekly trip at the DRC and was rewarded with his biggest ever Delaware Trout. It took us all day to get one but it was worth the wait.



I will be out bopth days this weekend and a whole bunch next week. Let's hope the Hendricksons and caddis remain strong on the WB and that we get some rain!

Past 2 trips

Fished with Mike Sr. and Mike Jr. for two days this week, and let me tell you what, the fishing was fantastic! We boated 4 fish in two days they were all real quality fish. We lost another really good one at the net, and missed some other big fish. All and all it was a super fun two days, and a real pleasure to share it with two class "A" guys.
The second day of the trip we even had to battle snow showers, but that wouldn't stop the hendricksons, or Paraleps, in fact it seemed to keep them on the water longer to give the trout an easier meal.

Product Review

Just got my new Simms Freestone Boots with the "Stream Tread" soles, and let me tell you, they are great! I was expecting to have a pair of boots that would be fine in the boat, but would leave a lot to be desired, however I was dead wrong. These boots are the exact opposite. In fact so far they have out performed my felt bottoms! They are worth the money. Not only are they great on the Upper Delaware, they are also environmentally friendly so that way I can do my part in trying to stop the spread of Didymo.

Another Big Delaware Brown

Fished the Mainstem yesterday, and there were TONS of bugs again yesterday, however the fish were not as hungry as the day before. Got one big one to save the day. We had plenty of target to fish for from 4pm on. Hendricksons and Apple Caddis are the two bugs that are must haves right now.
