Putting Up Tree Stands

November 12, 2015

30 Second Nail Knot

May 3, 2015

In my March column, I promised to share my recipe for what I call a 30-second nail knot. This knot is typically used to attach the butt section of your leader to your fly line or to join two pieces of leader material. You’ll need to let your mind’s eye wander a bit, as this Read More

By month’s end, alder leaves will be the size of a mouse’s ear, and prime time for fishing will be upon us. Those of us who use waders need to do some preventive maintenance to be sure that we aren’t surprised when we step into that cold water! The first step is to examine our Read More
