Featured Flies of the Month

Harry Murray's recommended fly list  for this time of the year.  (November 2024)

Listen to the November Podcast

Mountain Trout Native Brook Streams -- The brook trout continue spawning in November and while I personally don't like to fish for them during this process, some anglers still enjoy fishing these streams.  Please mash the barbs down, use a pop strike and do not step in the spawning beds. Every little bit helps preserve our native brook trout fishing.
