Fly Fishing Gifts
A few of my fly cases. |
A good case for larger flies and lures. |
While the compartments are good at keeping different flies apart it can be difficult to get the smaller ones out without dropping a few. |
This foam square is great to have to keep your most used flies right where you can get them while on the water. |
The foam inserts make it easy to organize and find flies. |

Pheasant feathers
I have just received a whole bunch of pheasant feathers and I can't wait to start experimenting with even more fly patterns made of of this wonderful birds feathers. I think I have about 10 pounds worth of feathers right now from all over the bird. What a great gift from a big pheasant hunter that's a friend of mine.

Lunch break fishing
One of my favorite things about living here in Utah is how close the fishing spots are. There are even places you can fish on your lunch break.
A lot of these are the small community fishing ponds or even the rivers going through the valley. I would even recommend for people to fish little cottonwood river in Murray Utah right next to Intermountain Medical Center. Its right next to main roads but it also has a nice park and walkways up and down the banks. For the community ponds I head over to Kidney pond or over to the Sandy fishing pond. Its not far from city hall and south towne mall.

What a great day to be out fishing
The weather has warmed up and it is a great day to be out fishing. Ants are going to be the go to fly right now. For some reason trout love them. I would also recommend having some unweighted foam beetles. Get out and enjoy this great weather and fishing while it lasts.

My Favorite Fly-fishing Reel
I have to say that my favorite fly reel is an antique automatic that was my great-grandfathers. What makes it even more unique is that I still have braided nylon fly line that is still good on it and I have more stashed away.
The reason I love to use it is first that it means a lot to me to have it. Secondly, I like to play the fish while holding the line rather than reeling it in like I was bait or spinner fishing. I know that you can't do that if the fish is too big but as I don't do it with salmon or saltwater fishing I think I'm ok. I also really like to use the bamboo rod that he had as well. They are well balanced together and work great for me. I may not be able to cast as far as I would with newer equipment but as I am on smaller streams and rivers with a lot of cover I don't need to.
