Yep, April is apparently bonus DF52 month here at the FF&W blog. Another image from the upcoming Reading Waters book by GB. This time it’s a Mountain whitefish. Like the horned chub that preceded it, the whitefish is another of the less-appreciated fly-fishing species. I think, however, that one can argue that the whitefish is actually [...]
If you love Montana’s trout rivers and their surrounding ecosystems, and are not aware of what’s going on with Montana’s SB 306, you should be.
The sights, sounds and smells of this place are so close to me right now that my mind and body are literally craving them. This is a photo from a day that my father and I spent along the Madison between Hebgen and Quake Lakes a few years back. So warm that morning, with a [...]
The DF52 Yamame is heading to Japan to help to raise money for the overall relief efforts there. The Japanese FlyFisher magazine is heading this particular fund-raiser and asked me to contribute. The image won’t go as-is, but rather I’m doing an outline print (three of them) and then hand-coloring the result. Hopefully the sale [...]
Update: This tee is now completely sold out. There will be no reprint. I had so many requests for size XL in this tee that I sold out in a few days. The re-order was placed last week and should be here shortly. As a result, I have left the XL size showing as available [...]
Yes, a trophy horned chub for your viewing pleasure. This magnificent specimen was extracted from Pennsylvania’s Little Sandy River some years ago by none other than GB. My ink-on-vellum rendering appears in a story in the upcoming Reading Waters book, but it is “special” enough that I felt that I needed to share it here. [...]
For you tyers out there in the FF&W readership, GB just ran a series of bobbin posts over at his blog. Mostly stuff he either already has, or some new goodies from the show circuit this last winter (that’s a new goodie from Marc Petitjean shown above). If you dig bobbins (they are sort of like like the [...]
Yes, the “golden bonefish” had to make an appearance during this year’s DF52. This fish is based on one that came from Montana’s Clark Canyon Reservoir. Took a damsel nymph. Ran and fought like a bull. Our old family friend, Bob Pelzl, once told me a story about fly fishing for carp in Kansas decades [...]
The FF&W blog is meant to provide a flow of fly-fishing articles, art, and media, as well as a splash of news and other links. I hope that you enjoy the read.
My best,
Jason Borger
