About egg time

A video that I made last year. In this video I tie an egg pattern fly. This pattern has been a deadly fly at every trout stream or river that I fish.

Awesome smallie fly

This is a fly tying video that I made awhile back. I tied this pattern up for an overnight smallmouth trip on the Kings river. After two solid days of hard use, the fly proved to be deadly on smallmouths.

Summer time smallie bite


This summers smallmouth bite has been awesome. Mainly fishing the Elk River in Missouri. I feel real lucky to have the time to fish since births of my twin girls. The best patterns this year have been articulated circus peanuts, black gurglers and big nasty streamers. The biggest fish so far has been in the three pound range.
This year the size of fish have been bigger then previous years. Most trips in the past I usually would catch only 6-10 fish in the 8"-12" range. This year has been better with catches around the 20 fish per day mark, and most of the fish between 12"-16" range. As the summer ends and the fall begins,Ill be dreaming of the smallie season next year.
