That's RIGHT FOLKS! Friday Night Flies is back! Well, it's back at least when I tie something and photograph it in time to present it on a Friday evening that is. Due to circumstances beyond my control there has been a long absence since the last 'Friday Night Flies'. But here we are! So, without … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…
Flies & Fly Tying
Not a Hair Out of Place Fly Tying Presents…
Friday Night Flies!!! A lot has happened in the past few weeks and we're still struggling with the loss of our President. But he would want us to continue and 'fight the good fight' I am sure of it. So... I've been tying some, reflecting on my interactions with Joe over the past several years. … Continue reading Not a Hair Out of Place Fly Tying Presents…

Repeat Offenders! So Tuesday was Valentine's Day and I saw the first Red-Winged Blackbird of this season at the bird feeder. I believe this is a coupe weeks earlier than normal. Yes, I'm using the word 'normal' and not apologizing for it. Ok, I suppose I should be using the word 'average' technically - average … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…
Something’s Bugging Me…!!!
Hey, I meant to include this in the 'Last SRS Meeting...' post published yesterday evening - but forgot. It was late last evening and I knew I wanted to get that post published and out - I was visiting a couple of friends and was a little later than I expected to be back here … Continue reading Something’s Bugging Me…!!!
Probably too late, but…
Just a quick post to mention that I saw these our place Friday - I think they're Grey Fox Spinners. Now that it's Sunday, I don't know if they've 'come down' and laid eggs or not as I've departed the area for a few days. Some pictures... Body is close to 5 mm, the tails … Continue reading Probably too late, but…

... WHAT? - an actual fly this time - no tying quite yet. I pulled in relatively late last evening and I only got to look at the water around dusk. It looked great and does today as I'm writing this, but we're getting a slug of rain today and tomorrow (if you can believe … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…

Getting Close! Has a few different meanings... this title. A personal relationship, sneaking up on your prey, or approaching the date of an event are a few. I'm using it as the approach to the coming fishing season and first SRS Membership Meeting. According to the PA Pressroom (released on 24JAN2022), the state-wide opener is … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…

Similar Disclaimer to Last NAHOOP Post: Ok, I haven't fished these exact flavors of these either but if I were a betting man, I'm betting that these will do the trick. Ok, there's a bit more content NOT directly related to flies and fly tying in this post folks - so be warned! Would You … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…

NAHOOP!!! Disclaimer: I have not fished this particular fly in the past - and, this is the first time tying it. Note: There's an SRS Calendar Update at end of this post. So I finally took some time to tie something. And if you've ever tied streamers or articulated things in the past, you know … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents…

NAHOOP!!!! ... fly tying. I've only met him through SRS and only over the phone. We had taken to calling the membership a year or so ago - just to see how everyone was doing and to see if anything was on the minds of our members. One particular contact sticks out to this day. … Continue reading Friday Night Flies Presents….
