Flies & Fly Tying

Something’s Bugging Me…!!!

September 13, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 2 Comments

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…

Friday Night Flies Presents…

May 6, 2022 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 4 Comments

... 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…

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….

This Shall Not Wait!

Gr... Grr... Grrrr.....Green DRAKES! It's enough to make a grown man stutter! Please do NOT take this as official notification that the Green Drakes are hatching in earnest. We have captured ONE, and have been able to photograph it. What does it mean? Well, maybe they're coming! Feels like I've posted a few items in … Continue reading This Shall Not Wait!

Not seeing bugs here at the place! Well, a couple flew my way and this is the result. First things first - I saw this guy/gal hanging around... He/she wasn't too concerned with me. But, you are here for some bugs. And a few I saw - headed my way, and as a result I … Continue reading So, I was just complaining about…

The Neighbor & the Mystery Fly

May 1, 2021 / Slate Run Sportsmen / 6 Comments

I've introduced you to 'The Neighbor' before. This is the guy that 'Dances with Bears' - I'm referring to a post from a year or so ago. So, he shows up at our place with a container in hand. Hey, he's given me flies in the past so I'm as cordial and nice as I … Continue reading The Neighbor & the Mystery Fly
