Rio Grande Cichlid on the Fly - A Brief Guide

Tying the Silly Bugger in Olive (Pat's Original)

It's time for another Tuesday Tie! Today we are tying a Silly Bugger. It is a great fly for bass, Guads, Largemouth, Smallmouth, and more. I have had a ton of success on this fly in many variations of colors. I usually fish it slower and deeper, but you can take weight away and fish it more like a streamer. Hope you learn something, and I hope you enjoy! Be sure to check back every Tuesday for another Tuesday Tie with TFFF!

Carp in Texas: Part 1 - What are Carp? (and What Ain't?)

Considered a nuisance fish by most anglers in America, carp in Texas seem to be as divisive a topic as the Dallas Cowboys, the legalization of marijuana, or Kinky Freidman. Some love them, many hate them. Discussions about carp can quickly become as heated of a debate as one about UT vs A&M, putting sauce on Bar-B-Que (notice the spelling), or wind turbines. As carp fishing (especially fly fishing) becomes increasingly popular in Texas, this divisiveness may get further entrenched. All sides of the carp debate feel solidly correct, but what is the truth...are they trash fish, do they destroy the environment, are they a prize catch? What are these carp in Texas and what is their impact? In this five-part series, Texas Freshwater Fly Fishing , will attempt to dive deeply into the subject to root out as much CORRECT information as possible. Be sure to understand the facts before you make a decision.
