Roll Cast

On this post I wanted to go over ways I have found to get info and ideas out about this great sport we all love. I want to share a few ways I have found info, and gathered ideas and met people from all kinds of various backgrounds. What we all share is a common interest of chasing scaly creatures of all shapes and sizes. No matter what you fish for (I loooove chasin carp on the fly) smallies, pan fish, trout, bones, tarpon, permit, you name it we all share passion and challenge of catching fish on the fly. I'm just going to give you a few of the ways I have found good info. So let's have a look at some of the ways that I have gotten info. Cheers and tight Lines!


**YOUTUBE**
The first obvious way that I found to wast time and entertain myself was Youtube, you can type almost anything in the search bar with the word "flyfishing" in it and will come up on various thing. I've been so distracted at times by this that I often dive in and make a right turn 15 minutes later and am watching something completly Different than what I searched for, that is the good and bad of this stuff. I have ADHD and that attention span of a gnat and will often get distracted in seconds! haha, that's not my fault just my brain. Good stuff can be found all over the internet but Youtube has been a vary good outlet for me. I've learned so much over a couple years, that I would have to learn the hard way. Don't you worry the learning curve on fly fishing is steep and long lol..Some of the best pages I follow on Youtube, just to name a few are

-The Orvis Channel
-In the riffle
-The guys at Fly Fish Food



Another great way, mostly to get fishing buddies and just socialize in the community is Facebook groups about fly fishing. I'm a junkie when it comes to groups of like minded people, I'm part of several groups that are each individual in their own way, which makes them fun and unique. I'm part of a couple fly tying groups ( Don't ask about tying, it will consume you just like fly fishing) Just buy fly from guys like me shameless plug, Oh well I like to make money. I'm part of groups just dedicated to fly fishing in general. Then we have groups that are like no other, but at some point grip and grin fish pics are posted and crude comments are made and in the end we all have a good laugh. Here is a couple of examples of good groups on social media. Theweekendwade

*Renegades on the fly
*Indiana Fly Fishing
*Fly Tying with Uncle Cheech
*Fly Tyers Anon


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD, By far the best way to learns is to just go out and FISH! It's where I learned the most valuable lesson, Ive broke gear, Slipped, fell busted my ass on every mudslide, rock and branch on the white river. I learned how to fight fish ( Actually land them) Present flies and read the water. I love the tranquility of the calm spring or fall morning, catching gnats in your teeth after choking on them and spitting those little critters out! haha, no really in all seriousness it the best way to learn about all things fly fishing. you will learn the most valuable lessons in life when you have that fly swinging through the air and eventually ( after a while lot of knots, snags and cussing, maybe a few beer. Hey whatever you're into) catching a fish. All in all I just want to share info on the sport I love and help a few other people out along the way. Go fish, Follow me on instagram, facebook and subscribe to the blog and we will all be ok at the end of the day!

Golden Bones and Trash Fish

Carp!?!?! Those fish are trash! That is what I always hear, right after I tell them I fly fish for alot of carp. Their for some reason is a negative opinion about carp and also carp on the fly. I know where I grew up there was always carp and always this opinion of carp in my area. I was always told that carp are "trash fish, Bottom feeders" and they "eat bass eggs." Truth is carp have been here for years are extremely picky and eat a lot of different insects, and are now part of the river system. I hope to change people's opinion on fly fishing and carp in general. Mainly carp are considered bottom feeders and that they kill off or eat the eggs of "game fish" or "native fish" This opinion is not exactly true or correct. Some aspects of the opinion may be correct but are mostly a generalization. I'm not here to get in a debate about carp, that would take all day! I'm cool with less people catching these bad ass fish and I also kin...

River Trash

River trash aka the common carp (click the link for a cool article on the history of carp) are the most exciting and finicky fish in fresh water. People dont just compare these amazing fish to bonefish without a good reason. The carp is a true sport fish and deserves its spot in the river. So that video was pretty exciting, I loved the perspective of the carp angler and the approach. Anyone that doesn't think carp can be a game fish, is simply a fool. These fish are naturalized within the river and lake systems and have earned their spot along with bass and trout as well. The world of fly fishing for carp is exploding all across the United States as anglers see the potential for these fish and target them specifically. The world of carp is ever expanding and being created, their are carp specific fly tourneys, The midwest golden bones , The 3 rivers carp cup tournament I plan to fish both tournaments and try my hand at fishing competitive. I urge anyone in the near are to head ...

Clouser for the win.

Clouser for the win! that is what I yelled out loud as I hooked my first white bass ever on a creek that has yet to be named ( that's my spot! I'm not sharing.) This fishing trip was just random after a chat with another guy at the fly shop Fly Masters of Indianapolis He mentions that the white bass should be running, I wasn't even there for pan fish flies, I was on my usual carp fly material hunt for an order of flies that I was tying up for another angler ( hit me up for some flies anytime, message me or contact me through email if your interested.) So after checking out I quickly headed towards the creek in a hurry. I always keep my waders and a 6wt in the car, with some general bass flies and a carp box. As soon as I get there I see 3 other cars there and think to myself "this was a bust" I immediately think this was a waste of time and gas, I kinda like fishing by myself or with one other buddy. I quickly slide my pants off and am now in my boxers in a p...
