If you spend enough days nymphing rivers like the Missouri you eventually stop arguing about whether a 10-foot fly rod is worth it and start wondering how you ever lived without one. For years 9-foot rods were staples. They were versatile familiar and “standard.” But modern nymphing—especially on big technical tailwaters—has evolved. Deeper rigs l...

OFFSHORE- Another week of scattered sailfish action; with boats trolling up to the north picking away at a few sails and the live baiters getting chances south of Jupiter Inlet.

Key West fishing report for January 28 2026 is a chilly one. The Florida Keys in Key West are experiencing one of the coldest winters since 2010. Air temps down into the low 50s and with the north west and north winds over 20 kn can bring the wind chills down to the 40s. Not exactly Chamber of Commerce weather and there is more to come this coming...

The winter season is what I’ve always said to be the best time of year to fish Lake Taneycomo.  Why?  Because of low fishing pressure coupled with the abundance of fish in the lake especially larger rainbows below Fall Creek (out of the trophy area).  I believe typically bigger mature trout move out of the […] The post January 28 2026 Fishing Repo...

Snake River Eddies and ledge rock pools remain the best water to target with nymph rigs and dry flies.  The sweet spot has been in a tight window from between noon and 2 PM most days.  Midge imitations and soft hackle patterns have been effective below the surface with midge adult and midge cluster patterns working best on the surface and in notic...

Today was just plain cold. We’ve had duck hunters come in and say how brutally cold this morning’s hunts were but ducks were out there like crazy. So many redheads flying around. The high was 36 while the low was 25 with light to gentle winds. Gusts up to 32mph. Currently it’s 36 feels like […] The post Hatteras Island Fishing Report appeared firs...

In this video Simon ties a unique variation on the traditional pheasant tail nymph. With winter conditions a heavy tungsten bead on a jigged hook was a must. Simon kept high flows in mind while designing this fly and aimed … Continue reading →

That’s why his perspective is especially valuable in...

The answer is Yes. A year ago tournaments at Guntersville were being dominated by Livescope this time of year. The conditions are perfect for Livescope but in the Toyota series the vast majority of fish being weighed in are caught power fishing.
