Darby Creek, PA

I have accumulated a lot of flies, mostly the ones I bought 🙃
The ones I tied myself are nearly all gone because I use them first. So, no more tying or purchasing until I use up the flies I already have 🤔

I should do something similar when I buy “wrong beer”…😅

Any fly tying people on here? I used to a long while back and looking to start up again.

Had a request for some jigs so I cranked a few out this morning. #flytying #flytyingjunkie #flytyinglife

Akroyd 3/0

My firstly Dee style fly.
But I used black marabou instead of black heron.

Tied my first fly in a couple of months. That's a Gamakatsu S10-B in size 8. I really like this hook, but I struggle with the size 8 for some reason. Think I did it justice here, though. It's has got a natural "black" yarn body with a gold colored rib. The wing is deer hair. Tied it in hand (without a vise) using YLI 100 weight silk thread.

I caught one crappie on this fly and then promptly lost it in a tree. C'est la vie.

Arrowmink Creek, PA
- tributary of the Schuylkill River

This tiny creek looks beautiful - as long as I don’t turn around and see the concrete waterway behind me 😉

A small stream flows down the narrow valley, winding through a rocky landscape surrounded by woods. There are many rocks, both big and small, scattered in and along the stream.

Looks like I have to work on Saturday 🤔
But it also looks like it will be sunny, so I should go fly fishing after work 😊

A creek winds through the woods on a partly sunny day, its waters gently rippling. The blue sky, scattered clouds, and surrounding trees are reflected on the surface of the creek.

Living on the edge 🙃
But still alive and thriving 😉

A tree stands at the edge of the stream bank, its roots spreading out, with half of them hanging over the water below.

For sure there is no fish 🤔

A view of a narrow waterway between a road and buildings. Ivies growing on the left bank cover the left wall of the waterway, while bare concrete walls are visible on the right side.

I spooked a few trout in this nice spot 🥲
Next time, I'll be more careful with my approach 😉

Fallen trees are crossing the small stream surrounded by woods. The water under the trees are deeper and has green hues. The far bank is lined with trees.

The stream looks more natural up to this point, then it becomes an urban watercourse with a green curtain 😮

A small stream running through the rocky terrain is transitioning to a concrete walled watercourse under the bridge.

Valley Creek, PA

I didn’t get much fly fishing over the weekend, aside from about an hour in extremely strong winds. Hopefully, I’ll have a bit better opportunity next weekend 😉

A small creek winds through the woods under the partly sunny sky. The wind ripples the surface of the water, yet it still reflects the sky and the bare winter trees.

It was extremely windy yesterday - my fly line was all over the place 😒
The temperature was dropping. Trees were falling down 😨
After about an hour of wandering, I decided to head back to my car 😉
