FLYLORDS Was Wrong! The Best College Town for Fly Fishing

I read articles from Flylords all of the time, usually pretty good quality fly fishing info, and the title of a recent article really peaked my interest. Top 25 US College Towns for Fly Fishing . I was pumped! I was so excited to see my school on a list of something other than "Top Party Schools in the US." I hurried to read the article, expecting my Texas college town to be ranked #1 in the country, but it wasn't. So I read and scrolled.

But more than anything, the Fall is one of the best times of year to head out and catch Bass ! Fall is a time of transition, for the weather and the bass. The season starts with late summer patterns and begins the transition to winter fishing. Fall is also a great time to fish big! Here is Texas Freshwater Fly Fishing's guide to Fall Bass on the Fly.

Five Most Common Mistakes of New Fly Tyers (and Advice)

Are you new to fly tying? Have you been tying for a while now, but still are not super happy with what you have created? I was new to fly tying at one point (heck I a still new to some flies), and I KNOW these mistakes, because I made them too. I did not have anyone to teach me what to do, and I had not yet discovered YouTube to help learn from. So, I just saw patterns that I thought looked effective and tried to re-create them on my own. Sometime they came out ok, most of the time I made mistakes and they came out horrible. Here is my advice to new fly tyers. These are the five most common mistakes of new fly tyers.
