Coffee and Writers on the fly

It's bone chilling cold in Central Indiana in the beginning of February. It's been colder than Alaska this past week and I've been outside for the last week. The job has to be done and I'm not complaining, but for a guy that was raised in the Mojave Desert and didn't really see snow until I got to Indy, this is freaking cold. Having time away from the water, this gives me time to read. I love to read books and it is way for me to pass time and still be learning and gathering information away from the screen. I've always been kind of a dreamer and thinker. This is a part of fly fishing that I enjoy. That is the part of fly fishing that a lot of us can agree with. I always have been attracted to the cast and not really just catching fish, many of us enjoy the walk in and the destination far more than simply bringing a fish to the net (although that is very satisfying).

Many of us have heard of the Fly Fishing Film Tour and If your in Indy, You can buy tickets from a few great Fly shops, My favorite is Flymasters of Indianapolis Also Moving Waters Outfitters Check them out when your in the area, both offer great products and information. Derrick from Flymasters has given me countless ideas, trick, tips and very valuable spots on all my newbie questions about fly fishing. Anyway, Film is very popular in fly fishing, their is huge libraries of videos and tutorials that have benefited myself and many others.

Well that kinda got away from my a bit (I swear I have ADHD and caffeine doesn't help at all!) What this really is about is how closely writing and fly fishing is connected. While I was wasting time looking for new content I came across a great concept and idea called Writers on the fly It showcases great writers, artists and fly fishing enthusiasts for a night of reading fly fishing writing in a group setting at various locations. Check it out if you're in the area ( The PNW folks are even more artsy fartsy then most and some damn good fly fishermen and women.) and have a great time with like minded folks! Cheers! tight lines #theweekendwade

Back Cast

I am often asked "how did you get into fly fishing?' or " you fly fish?" The next comment is " I always wanted to learn how to do that but I think it's hard." Truth is I was one of those fascinated, but intimidated people. As a kid I would wake up early on Saturday mornings to watch the now late, great Tony Wejebe on Spanish Fly , or Walter's Cay Chronicles as they traveled all over the world and threw these beautifully created flies across the most remote and distant places all over the ocean and world. To me these places seemed so magical and far away. I would sit there in the early mornings, legs crossed with a big bowl of cereal, mesmerized by these fishing journeys. This intrigue stayed with me and in the back of my mind for quite a long time. I would often watch videos on Youtube as an adult of far off fly fishing destinations. This fly curiosity stayed with me until one of my random Cabelas trips to the bargain cave. I paced aro...

First Cast

"What the??" Is what my wife said as I told her I was creating a blog about Fly fishing. I've been looking at ways to create, express and waste time for my favorite hobby. I've spent so much money, time and energy chasing fish from my home state of the Arizona desert all the way to Central Indiana, where I live now. I don't really know what I'm doing with a blog, but I'm stubborn (my wife will agree) and won't give up easily. What I hope for this blog is exciting content that I think is important in fly fishing. Tag my blog on instagram @brandonkypreos , I want to to give opinions, reviews and advice to the best of my knowledge. I'll talk about my daily experiences on the water. Don't expect me to give you my #langitudes ,haha. I want to expand the readers and my knowledge and perception. I'm excited for this opportunity to express my love for fly fishing and waste some time in this cold Indiana winter. Tight lines! ...

Spring Fling

Pond Fishing 101 is here and It's #theweekendwade annual Spring Fling and spring has sprung. About time the cold and snow moved on and let the sun out and the grass get greened. I'm so sick of ice, snow and cold that I'm celebrating the first day of spring by working overtime! Lol, just kidding I can not wait one more day to get out and hit the water. Usually the ponds and shallower water is what I spend most my time around this time of the year. They warm up faster and are typically alot more productive and accessible with the rain we typically get during the months or March and April. The ponds are always a good choice when the rain is in, they don't get muddy and with the increased water flow I target the inlets and have damn good success with crappie, bass, and sunfish. These ponds are all over Indy and a lot of other areas like business districts and housing developments. I spot any water I see while driving ( squirrel ) and immediately think there is bass in t...
