Fishing and Fly Tying

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

This small creek wild brown #trout came out of nowhere and crushed a streamer. #flyfishing #Streamers

Dry fly fishing in Pennsylvania. You can always count on finding brown trout under submerged trees and logs. #fishing #flyfishing #fish

@DaveBuckeye2973 Nice looking mount and nice crappie!

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

@erwin_derek The frog waters seemed to have more trout than the main creek. They were everywhere. Nearly impossible not to spook them though!

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

Tied up some spotted lanternfly patterns to see if the highly pressured, selective trout in "The Narrows" at Fishing Creek would target the invasive species. #fishing #flyfishing #flytying

@NoJoe64 Thanks. I finally found a use for the bag of guinea feathers that's been taking up space in my desk for years.

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

@BorzaSteve Low and clear. So low that I didn't see another fisherman all day, which is a first for me on Penn's.

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

Catch of the day. I found this wood turtle 🐢 hanging out in Penn's Creek. #fishing #turtle #nature

@fruba21 Yes

Brook trout caught in Fishing Creek near Lamar, PA #fishing #flyfishing

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

Crystal clear water, direct sun, weeds and tree limbs everywhere: I executed the perfect approach and presentation, and still came up short. 🤦‍♂️ #fishing #flyfishing

@ejnyamogo I love it. I wish I had more time for it!

Old school fly fishing tactics. No hatch? Send the White Wulff dry fly. #fishing #trout

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

@BBaywaters Northcentral... I do not offer lessons. I struggle to find time to fish myself. Perhaps when I retire!

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

To me, this is the ultimate fly fishing experience. A difficult upstream cast, under the tree branch mid-stream, then between two more tree branches hanging in the water, to a beautiful brown trout sipping flies off the surface. The dry fly had to be gently dropped right in front of the trout's nose without spooking it, followed by an immediate hookset. No other angle or approach is possible. Pinpoint accuracy is a must. I'll take one opportunity like this over a 50 fish outing with nymphs any day! #fishing #flyfishing #fish

@Cranch71 Almost always fluoro.

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

Trout will come out of the cover to chase streamers. Make sure your tippet is heavy enough to keep them from going back in. #fishing #fish #flyfishing

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

@wncmtngeo It happens to me all the time. It makes it that much more rewarding when it actually works out.

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

@flyfishnguru @PeaboTheWizard Thanks! It looked better before it got chewed on.

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

@krob686 Then they have no place to hide

[Eric Reeder @ReederFlyfish]

@PeaboTheWizard An extended body mayfly pattern I tie on a size 12, 2x long hook. The fly size is more like an 8 or 10. The tail is now gone on this one after about a dozen fish. It works well for drakes and large cahills. Or just as an attractor pattern when nothing is hatching.
