Tying with European Golden Plover

A friend from the UK was kind enough to send me some legally obtained European Golden Plover (Pluvialis apricaria) feathers... I tied few flies today using these classic golden-yellow tipped soft feathers and will be sending him some soon.

Season's End

“Only I have no luck any more. But who knows? Maybe today. Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.”
― Ernest Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea   

Remembering good times...

Yesterday was a banner day on a local flat...perfect conditions and hungry stripers! We caught a bunch of fish, all generation 2011. Dave Skok displays a healthy striper caught on his Mushmouth baitfish pattern.
