Here is another simple but effective pattern to keep in your fly box this trout stocking season.

Only need a dust mop and dubbing material, add a jig fly hook, and tie the material on... and you are ready!

Great time on the Blue River again; did manage to limit out, too. Video in the works for the trip. More to come.

This round I decided to mix things up and forego the low water crossing. Instead, I walked the area north of the crossing and explored the area. Learned a few things and even limited out on Trout! Great times fishing a river!

Old School meets New School. Strike indicator that does not kink your leader! Fished with the Vintage Bamboo Fly Rod and caught a fish or two. Guess what? No line kinks in the leader!

Trying out a new format to provide impromptu fishing updates and other happenings from the Field Team. Thanks for stopping by!

Caught this one in Oklahoma a few months back; snowed there yesterday. Hope to hook into a nice size trout this Season!

No fishing this weekend... but can at least talk about fishing!

What??? I figured you would be at the Blue River Trout Derby.
I saw a couple of 5 pounders caught but unfortunately I did not get one of them.
I did get a limit of three so into the frying pan they will go.

Yup, was trying to but got sidetracked with work and then a Honey Do or two. Here is to next week!

This round's discussion is ultralight baitcasting aka Bait Finesse Systems Fishing for Trout this Stocking Season!

Here is a simple but effective pattern for trout. Works well fished under a strike indicator but your's truly likes to fish it as a trailing fly on a tandem rig setup!

More fun fishing the Blue River in Oklahoma this past Sunday. Morning started out below freezing and overall the trout bite slowed for some of us. But, I did manage to limit out with three trout. I did see some nice size ones moving about but no takers for yours truly.

Also, did more exploring of the area north of Hughes Crossing and checked out "The Boulders" per Zach Flatt's recommendation - see his website at https://flattoutfishing.com/ for more details.

Overall, it was a nice "chill" or maybe "chillier" day but it was sure lots of fun. Do check out the video. Also, will plan a livestream to step through the video and possibly answer any questions about the trip.

PS: Shout out to the folks I met on the River! Awesome to meet ya'll. Appreciate the support; hope to see you again sooner than later on the River.
