Mary Ann and I had the wonderful experience spending time on the Middle Deschutes River\u00a0two weeks ago\u00a0with noted Author and Fly Fishing Expert Dave Hughes.\u00a0 I put one of my 7′\u00a0 6″\u00a0 5 wt Signature Series bamboo fly rods in his hand for the afternoon and watched him swing winged-wets and soft hackles through the shallow riffles.\u00a0 I worked at Czech Nymphing with stonefly nymphs and small mayfly nymphs.\u00a0 While neither Dave nor\u00a0I were overly successful at landing fish on the day, it was still a fun time.\u00a0 Mary Ann out-fished us both, landing 4 or 5 trout and whitefish.\u00a0 Dave commented that my Signature Series rod was the finest bamboo rod he’s ever swung flies with….wow, what a compliment.<\/p>\n

Last week, I was down in Northern California meeting up with some fly fishing friends on Hat Creek, a place we’ve been fishing together for 34 years.\u00a0 We did well fishing golden stonefly dries late in the evening, but the largest fish I landed over the 4 days of fishing was using the swinging techniques Dave outlined in his latest\u00a0book, Wet Flies – Second Edition.\u00a0 His techniques and wet fly patterns certainly worked for me, and helped me land a beautiful 21″ rainbow on a swing Partridge and Yellow soft hackle one evening.\u00a0 Here are a couple photos.<\/p>\n
