Product review

Just a quick product review:


Rio SuppleFlex is a new(ish) tippet material out from Rio. I started using this last season, and it really impressed me. Although the strength to diameter may not be as high as some other Rio products, I believe the pros, still outweigh the cons.

As the name implies this tippet is extremely supple, which is becoming increasingly difficult to find in many tippet materials on the market today. Also this tippet has a great coating which makes knots perform well.

I believe that it is extremely important to use the softest and most supple tippet available when fishing the Upper Delaware. You can pick this product up at many shops including the Delaware River Club

Give it a shot! Its worth it!

cabin fever is still hitting me, Getting ready for spring by ordering new gear and tying new flies for the year, and on nice days even going on and working on some distance casting. Thursday I am going to be going to Utica to tie up some new bugs with bob and Frankie. These two guys are the best, and we have been spending a lot of time together the past few weeks, swapping fishing stories, talking about casting, and teaching each other new patterns. So hopefully I will have some new flies to share.

One quick side note, This morning i placed an order with Chifly.com man those guys are nice have a great collection of stuff, fair prices and my order has already shipped, thats hard to beat! so if you are looking for anything give these guys a try!

first outting

Hit the river for the first time of the season, this past weekend before the big rains came. It was a beautiful day. Almost 70 and sunny, getting to fish in a t-shirt in march is a real joy. The fish was slow, moving just a few fish on streamers and seeing some extremely sporadic heads. it was a great first trip!

WOW!!
what a beautiful day in CNY as i type the thermometer reads a balmy 45 deg. warm days like today make us all wish that spring wasn't a month away, it was NOW. Have a buddy out on the mainstem today looking for some early stones, hopefully he will have some good news for me!

either way I have been spending a lot of time dreaming about the early season hatches that will make the upper delaware come alive. Paraleps, Quill Gordons, Hendricksons, and apple caddis are just around the corner; not to mention the early stones which I'm sure are already flopping about.

stick with me and I'm sure i will have some good news to share with you within the next 30 days. RISING FISH!
