We are ice fishing on Oneida Lake. The fishing is... fishing. Some days have been good and others it's pretty hard to get them to participate. I'm looking forward to the spring 2025 fly fishing season in Central New York! It will be here in a just a couple short months. While it's not prime fly fishing conditions, there is some opportunity in the winter in Syracuse (weather dependent). Handcrafted wood fly fishing nets are always ready to ship!

Welcome to my fly fishing blog! I invite you to follow along as I share my thoughts on all fly fishing related "stuff". I'll be sharing fishing stories, tips, gear reviews, pointers, trip summaries, reports and more. Tales of defeat, triumphs, mishaps, more defeats, and lessons learned await.
