WNY Fly Fishing - Smith Optic Review

 Lets talk sunglasses, I know its dark out now but the sun will be coming out and fishing will be starting. So I have been using Smith Optics for at least 30 years both regular and prescription glasses as well as most of my friends and can tell you they are the best period. The frames are top notch, and the lens are out of this world with color and clarity. Go to www.smithoptics.com and take a look they have tons of styles for every occasion and you won't be disappointed with the quality or customer service

WNY Fly Fishing Stream Report 1/2/2026

 Well the weather is not our friend so far this year, lots of snow and very cold temps. There is fish in the streams, but it will be very difficult to catch them with the temps this low from icing guides, frozen fly lines, shore ice forming daily etc. Iam going to fill my boxes and orders for the next couple of weeks and see what mother nature has in store for us, stay warm 

Merry Christmas 2025

MERRY CHRISTMAS

WNY Fly Fishing - Alaska Fly Patterns Must Have

 If you are planning a trip to alaska in would urge you to tie this pattern up, its a killer that we have used for years at Alaskan Remote Adventures and the lodge has got me making them for them. Now its tied on a jig and some fly guys will roll their eyes but they are very effective and you co er more of the water column with them. The Voodoo hooks are very strong and last a long time so get them. I use 1.5 Enrico brushes in purple with hair in them.
