Articulated sparkle turkey. Anxious to see how the turkey feather tail swims.

They look somewhat similar to a rusty trombone or sparkleminnow, which I have both had great success with. I think they will fish!

Put the new achilles to the test at 3 weeks out of a cast. Some much needed river therapy after 8 weeks of cabin fever.

You’ll love that vise. So well made!

Got to fish the Provo the other day. The fishing pressure was crazy and made the Bighorn feel like a back country wilderness area. However, the fishing was fantastic when you could get in a hole. Put 33 in the net and a couple fattys, including one of them infamous big whitefish.

Those are awesome. Never sprung for one, but the owner of a fly ship loaned me one when I was tying for him.

After tying on a cheap Cabelas vice for 12 years, it is like tying on a dream. I was tying today thinking everyone should have to start on a cheap vice that barely holds a hook to really appreciate one of these things.

First Sea Trout of 2026
4lb 4oz on a Dartmoor river in the dead of night, put up a cracking fight.
Shame to bonk it on the head but plenty of the season left to return them

Had one of the best streamer fishing days I’ve ever experienced yesterday. It was fantastic. The aggressive-strike to cast ratio was like 1:3 all day long. Rain and overcast most of the day had the browns absolutely fired up from the time we put on to the time we got off.
