Trout Opener Preparations
We usually spend lots of hours at the fly tying bench (even more so this year with isolation and quarantine) in preparation for the Trout Opener, but what about that other list of trout season preparation chores?
I’m thinking about the washing and repairing waders and the cleaning of fly lines! Here’s a few How-to videos on these tasks to get you motivated as we count down to fishing season, however they will play out in your area.

Another Way to tie Rim Chung’s RS2
I’ve struggled to tie this fly and have watched various YouTube videos, had someone show me one-on-one how to do it, but I still couldn’t get it right. This method looks so much easier when it comes splitting the tails.
Have a look at this one:
Atop the Angling Mountain: The Five Stages of Fly Fishing | Hatch Magazine – Fly Fishing, etc.
And while we are at it…one more article from Hatch Magazine that helps describe the fly fishing addiction.
I don’t remember when I first heard the phrase, but for a while now experienced fly fishers have been regaling new anglers with tales of “The Five Stages of Fly Fishing.” These are the levels we all go through at one point or another in our fly fishing careers; at least if we stick around long enough to move up the ladder.
