Pictured below are some fish taken today on the Grand, all swinging flies like the double decker pictured below and can be found on the fly tying blog as well. As i have said before its not the most productive way to fish if its numbers you are after but it may be the most exciting. If you would like to learn more come to the seminar this Saturday the 25th with Will Turek and Greg Senyo. Wills presentation begins at 10am and cover rods, reels, casting and techniques. Greg will begin tying some new swinging patterns around noon time an go until 3pm for those interested. Until then enjoy a few pics.

There seems to be plenty of these in our tribs and the run hasn't even really started yet, gonna be a good spring.

The Double Decker is an articulated marabou pattern that has been very good the past week. Purple has been the hot color but tied in white, black, orange and olive you can't go wrong either. Tying directions can be found in the fly tying blog.

Wild Bill is all smiles on the Grand Today.

When you are fishing dark or stained water on a dark overcast day purple or black combinations work very well.

If you are still waiting to get out and start your spring season wait no more. Its not crazy good but there are plenty of nice fish being caught and we need some help. There wearing us out.
