Happy New Year to my fly-fishing friends

It has been an insane two months. Lots to communicate and will have to break it into a number of posts.

First, I have just returned from three weeks in Chile. Plenty on that trip to follow in the next few months. Second, my 3rd book, ” In Pursuit of Trophy Brook Trout: The Ultimate Handbook of Tactics, Timing, and Territories is now out – sort of. Third, it is flyfishing show season. Let’s take these in reverse order.

I will be at the Marlborough Fly Fishing Show on the weekend of January 17,18,19. In the afternoon on each day, I will be at the author’s booth and giving a presentation at 4:00 with the title of “10 kiiler flies that catch trophy brook trout and landlocked salmon”. Hope to see you there. Sunday is a bit of a wildcard at this point because of the forecast for a major snowstorm.

I will also be giving presentations at the Great Bay Trout Unlimited meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Feb. 4 at 6 pm (Tactics for Catching Difficult and Pressured Fish) and Barre, Vermont at The Steakhouse at the invitation of the MadDog Trout Unlimited Chapter on the 7th at 6 pm (How, Where, and When to catch trophy native brook trout). Stop by, all TU chapters welcome guests.

As far as my new book is concerned. It is now available as a kindle book only on Amazon. Printed copies will be available in mid-February, first at Amazon and from myself, then a week or two later at fly shops and other outlets. Contact me if you would like a signed copy and I will sell direct to you. You get a signed copy and I enjoy a better profit on the sale of my book.

I spent a week fly fishing at the Martin Pescador Lodges and other locations later on. My wife and I had to deal with challenging weather – pouring rain, cold, and wind, but caught fish regardless. We fished lakes, large roaring rivers in boats, small rivers in rafts, private ranch rivers by wading, and tiny spring creeks that I could jump over. As I get the time I will share a few of the thousands of photos and videos we took,

One technique that I had not fished much before was fishing a dry-fly dropper rig with huge flies. Big foam chenobyl-type dry flies and big rubber-legged girdle-bug type dragon-fly nymphs as a dropper on four feet of tippet. Big trout crushed these flies – especially the dropper, but occasionally thrashing the surface as they engulfed the dry.

The Chilean scenery can make it difficult to look down to follow your fly.

This fish that my wife caught looks like a salmon but is in fact a freshwater rainbow caught in Lago Yelcho when it grabbed her rubber-legged girdle bug. She needed every bit of her 7-weight rod to land this fish

Big browns also fell for the huge dry fly dropper combination

More to come….
