Make your own zonker strips

by Wayne Mumford January 26, 2012

From the Acme department at willfishforwork.com. This whole episode started last spring on the tip that a large woolly bugger tied with a crosscut muskrat collar was a killer for smallies on [name redacted] reservoir in Montana. I had other projects going and let this one stew till I accidentally bumped into a source of [...]

Fly Tying Bench on the cheap

by Wayne Mumford January 10, 2012

I hate bi-fold closet doors. I’ve spent more time putting the damn things back on their runners than I care to admit. We replaced some a couple years back because the new ones were more stylish. In hindsight the old ones were fine and they stayed on track and looked ok to me. Anyway, I [...]

Flathead River Fly Fishing Report Good news for the northwest Montana fly fishing community; boats are getting on the main stem Flathead. While the water is still pretty high and the fishing is sporadic, it’s a start. It will only get better from here. Local lakes are still the place to get your fix. For [...]

Checking in to show off

by Wayne Mumford July 13, 2011

Actually, I had to come home for a dental appointment which is a real drag considering I was just starting to mind meld with things more natural again. It’s ok, a little novacaine, some drilling and filling and I’ll be back in business for a few more days. So, not a bad couple days on [...]
