"Fishing Before the Hex Hatch" looks at some of the hatches that occur just before the annual Hex Hatch making for the best dry fly fishing of the year, often in solitude.
 
"Fishing After the Hex Hatch"  shares what an angler can expect to find on the water in the months following the Hex Hatch. Complete with tips on how to best find the bugs and how to fish them; from the small Tricos to the big mouse patterns, this is not time of the year to put your rod away.
 
"Matching the Hatch for Steelhead With Egg Patterns" introduces a new perspective on selecting egg pattterns when considering factors such as egg drop, the type of eggs in the water and water conditions.
 
"New Years Resolution Idea: Become a Better Angler" provides some ideas to keep you involved in fly fishing throughout the winter while improving as an angler.
 
"Tips For Fighting and Landing Fish" shares some insight on the best way to get that fish in the net so your next fish story doesn't start with, "You should have seen the one that got away."
 
 
 Fly Tying Instruction

Reveals one of my favorite patterns for trophy trout including how to tie and fish it. Imitating the rainbow trout planted in the local rivers gets the attention some really big trout.
 
"Tying Ted's Swimming Hex Nymph" shows you step-by-step instruction on how to tie this pattern which is one of my top flies for both steelhead and carp fishing.
 
"Tying the Thing-A-Ma-Hex" is step-by-step instructions on how to tie a hex pattern that incorporates a glow-in-the-dark strike indicator to help you track the fly and keep it floating.
