Casting Heavy vs. Bulky Flies
Unless someone brings it up, you may not give much thought to the fact that there are two types of “big” flies. There are big bulky, wind-resistant flies that if thrown by hand would be light and bushy and not go very far, like a deer hair mouse. And there are big, heavy flies that if thrown by hand would go a long way because of their weight.Bass and Bill fishing from one location — Mazatlan!

If you saw my favorite fishing rods in a tackle shop, not only wouldn’t you buy them, but you probably would point out to the store’s owner that somebody doesn’t know how to build a fishing rod.

For an angler, being outside and fishing in a short sleeve shirt with no one around should be enough to call any day a success. This day was about to get better. As we cast into a river with increasing water temps and a majority of the steelhead already back in Lake Ontario, our expectations of a tight line were low.
