New Foam Hoppers

Just got bored of tying lots of the same patterns, so I played with a couple different foam hopper/cricket patterns.

Secondhand River Updates

I haven't had much of a chance to fish lately, thankfully I have been staying busy with my work out here. But I have been talking to my brother, and my roommates, who have been fishing a lot in the last few weeks. 

It has been really warm as of late, and with that we are seeing some different bugs emerging in force. I have been hearing of good to great midge hatches. And marginal to good Blue Winged Olives hatching. This is good to hear, as it means some good dry fly fishing, and hopefully some healthy fish looking up. 

With the good weather, I am hoping to be seeing some of the similar hatches to what we saw year before last. A good early season flying ant hatch. And hopefully a good prolific Cicada hatch. But as with every year, the hatches are different every year, and we will see what it is like when the time comes.
