Fly Tying: Iron Blue Nymph
Last Updated: September 7, 2017 by Drew Kasel Leave a Comment
by Rusty Dunn

Walk into a fly shop and ask for an Iron Blue Nymph, and the clerk will probably look at you funny. “A what?” he might ask, to which you should reply, “Young fellow, perhaps you know it instead as a Dark Watchet, Dark Whirling Dun, Little Blue Dun, Iron Blue Drake, Little Purple, Little Dark Blue, or Iron Blue Quill. Got any?” You won’t get the flies you’re looking for, but at least you will have made the point that nymph fishing was refined long before the Pink Squirrel reigned supreme. Read More

West Fork Sportsmans Club work on July 29, 2017
Massive flooding has temporarily shut down the West Fork Sportsmans Club in Avalanche, Wis. This is the host site for our Women’s Clinics, Project Green Teen outing and more. An important and vital place!
They are having a work day on Saturday, July 29 to clean things up and do repairs. Many hands will make light work … so head out if you can (carpooling is even better). If you do drive, stay on the gravel road as you arrive.
Learn more at http://westforksportsmansclub.org/.
