Hybrid

Catch has a few prototypes in hand, and before too long they will start to sell a few of my go to flies. I am more than a little nervous, I hope they actually sell some!

Hybrid worm/soft hackle

Granted, it ain't too pretty, but it works!

CATCH Fly Fishing

Big thanks to the crew over at CATCH for saving a spot on their fly design team for me. They have some serious talent on there with Gregg Martin, Adam Hope, Mark Erdosy and Trevor Tanner...so I suppose they could afford to add me!

Looking forward to a series of great carp flies! CATCH has also partnered with Carp Pro, lots of good things in the works.

Carp Pro Podcast

Another great episode. Don't miss it, click here:

Carp Pro Podcast

Great discussion about stalking fish with a few gems like "I spend a lot of time on my knees". Some nice tips on how to get closer to those big fish, something I try to do whenever vaguely possible. My personal rule is I won't cast until I can see the carp's head...so I do quite a bit of stalking.

That is Wendy Berrell, getting it done. Believe it or not, we are both in knee deep water in that photo. And yes, he stuck a carp.

And a video from this spring with Wendy...note, no fly line out the rod tip on this one!
