After digging through all sorts of pix looking for a front cover photo (back cover was easy), I finally found a shot that both GB and I like for the upcoming book, Long Flies. We wanted a photo that had a sense of real “old school” (I don’t mean 1989) big-water streamer fishing. Ended up [...]
Another quick pic to provide a little fish eye-candy here at FF&W. This is a shot I took many years ago, when film was what you put into cameras instead of SD cards. This brown was caught on Bartlett Lake on the Vermejo Ranch property. The combination of the overhead sky and the low angle [...]
No actual fish in this one. I just like this as a candid “my girl and me” shot (thanks, Flynn). Kel’s working a drop-off (just to the left, off-camera) somewhere on some water someplace in western Montana. A few hours after this shot was taken, Kel made one of the most dead-on perfect Puddle Casts [...]
This week’s DF52 fish image (spotted gar) turned out to be a last-second type of drawing. Too many fits and starts to be able to properly dig into the details and the play of light. Last year’s week 40 DF52 drawing, however, was just the opposite. The Wickham’s Fancy had a good start and ended [...]
DF52 Spotted Gar. I like gar. Cool lookin’ and they bite big, flossy streamers pretty nicely, too (if they are in the mood). The gar was Jeff’s idea this week, and we’ve both veered away from the mainline lately. Liking some of this “alternate species” stuff, but I get to choose next week, so perhaps [...]

Been way too long since I had an appropriate level of casting geekery here at FF&W, so here you go… In digging back through the mountains of electronic files and folders lurking on my hard drive under the heading “Fly Casting,” I came across a stack of images from April of 2000. Among them were [...]
Everyone needs a good fishing name, a name that you can use in quotes between your real first and last names. It should be a name that rings of your angling/romantic prowess, or your favorite fish species, or even some locally/regionally/nationally known incident in which you were intimately involved. I have such a name. Actually [...]
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,
