Book Review: "Fly Fishing West Yellowstone: A History and Guide" THIS WEEK Robert DeMott reviews the book Fly Fishing West Yellowstone: A History and Guide by Bruce Staples and Bob Jacklin. "Ten years in process, Fly Fishing West Yellowstone is the result of energetic research in print sources, photograph archives, and especially numerous personal interviews with principal movers and shakers." Greg Thomas discovers powerful fish and spectacular Pacific Northwest scenery just out the door at Black Bear Lodge. "In the end, we canāt say enough about the upper Columbiaās rainbow trout," Greg writes. "They are bug-oriented, they feed actively on the surface, and they are as strong as any rainbows weāve ever encountered." In this week's tying video Tim Flagler shows us how to build a better Bugger. "Iām pretty picky when it comes to the look so Iāll choose a single, fluffy feather and pull it free from the rest," Tim says." I donāt like Woolly Buggers with stringy tails." |
