I will see if its still there when I go back later this fall. Its in Duluth MN, and the owner who I havent talked to yet is a devout fly fisherman. There is a whole curated section for fly fishing, and hunting.

I saw a copy of La Fontaines Caddisflies at a bookstore a while back but I actually got Bergman’s Trout instead. Really liked reading about some of the revelations he had fly fishing as a youth and as he got older at the boom of the sport. Fishing has vastly changed since then but very good insight.

I’ve accumulated a small collection of fly tying/fishing books. What are some of your favorites?

Sounds like a time to learn from a few of the greats!!

Theres a mention of 2 editors for the book, and a thanks to jack gartside in the beginning. I have yet seen a reference to United Flytyers. I met Rich last year and we talked about striped bass fishing and he gave me lots of good advice!

No, securing the dumbell itself is no problem, just sticking on eyes on the dumbell is annoying and sometimes resin gets in the eye hole. So far the solrez thin has lasted me longer than medium for building the head.

29” got me down to my backing because I was caught off guard. Followed your advice and made my way to the mouth of the inlet with outgoing.

Hit a flat midcape and was in the middle of a big pod of striped bass feeding on sand eels, every cast spooked them.

Never tried the flats my bud has told me its real sketchy to wade he fishes from a yak.

No not me, im actually heading out to fish the ocean front for plum island as of now, hoping to catch an early wave of the fall run

I will check it out, thank you!
