"October Trout" AUTHOR Bob Romano is back this week with a reflection on the arrival of fall and the beauty to be found in home waters. "After buckling hip boots to my jeans," he writes, "I drive into the hills where the color of the hardwood trees is muted by the fine mist. Stopping at the little bridge that crosses Bonnie Brook, I’m happy to find the current running high, but clear." Tim Flagler demonstrates how to tie a Composite Loop Zonker in this week's featured tying video. "The back and tail of the fly are formed by a single pine squirrel zonker strip," notes Flagler. "If you’re only going to get one color, I highly recommend sculpin olive." |
