Man, what a day! Earlier while cleaning out my garage, I found some old fly fishing gear, hadn-t seen it in years. Amongst the stuff was a brand spanking new Orvis Green Mountain combo my father gave me a LONG time ago. Just spooled it up and made a makeshift leader/tippet, and was coming on here looking for fly suggestions. Now I find a guy that-s been at Orvis for 42 years!
Hey I also found a brand new Orvis spinning rod, the butt is labeled -10ft salmon spin 8 1/4oz 0680-, I believe this rod is also from sometime in the 90s, but I can-t find any info on Orvis website for spinning rods, I-d like to know the power/action. it-s a graphite rod. imma give it a shot with a Diawa b400 I have laying around.
Lol all my gear is older but still in good shape. Ok, Imma watch the video now, hit the fly shop tomoro, fishing by Monday evening: )

Thanks for the post. I'll be looking for any upcoming ones. I usually fish the Smoky Mountains or North Georgia in the fall and agree with your comments on the October Caddis. We have several different species of Pycnopsyche in the southeast and they begin emerging when the leaves begin to fall, not before. The larvae live in leaf beds and eat the fungi and bacteria that colonize the fallen leaves. I've caught trout on big #8-10 dry orange caddis, but only right at dusk. That fly was always useless during the day and, like you, I've never seen an October Caddis on the water, let alone eaten by a trout. In the Smokies, the very small blue winged olives and terrestrials (beetles and ants) are the best dries in the fall.

Tom always very knowledgeable, I struggle with his clarity. when a question is brought up on what weight choice of anything haha. it is obvious that there are so many variables when choosing. In depth and Toms personal choices broke down on the -one- rod he takes to use all three fly lines would be helpful. Slow/medium/fast somewhere in between. Large topic with so many variables, thanks for all your experience shared!

That was pretty cool! Intelligent, common sense, observation, and decades of application. Love the way you teach, and love your Snow Shoe emerger. I didn't have the recipe materials, didn't even know what CDC was, but I tied it from your sbs in an old Orvis newsletter using grizzly hackle instead of CDC. It was an instant success from the first cast. Thanks for all your excellent instruction, tight lines to you sir!

Hi guys, I am a good fly fisherman when it comes to catching lots of smaller wild brown trout (I know euro nymphing techniques very well, but I am on the hunt to land my first ever fish over like 2lbs. I have tried streamer fishing a couple of times but haven't had any success. Has anyone got any advice for catching a larger wild river trout?

Tx for sharing. As a new fly fisherman, I found it extremely useful from a legend like you. If someone from your staff could add links hot to tie those flies, would probably save a lot of time to us amateurs (just a small request, not a complain. People with your attitude are the reason that I returned to fishing after nearly 25 years.

Tom thanks for being unapologetic about your list. As a new fly fisher I don't want to hear the, -what about this, what about that. - conversation. I want someone to say, -look at this, I like it because. - I learn more that way. It helps me put together potential tools, or solutions to the fish catching -problem- so to say.

As a Judo player I liken a lot of your answers to questions asked by lower ranks. Experience is the best teacher- -These are my thoughts - see what works for you. - I have learned a ton with your and Pete K. -s videos on fly fishing but practice and experience, in the end, will be your most valued teacher.

Thank you for sharing your top 10 flies for the fall Tom. You are very wise by saying that with time any fisherman will develope his own list of favorites flies so shut-up and listen about MY favorite list. That was the right thing to say. -----

I gotta tell you Tom is a great ambassador to our sport. He is easy to listen to, knows what he is talking about without the condescending attitude that is still far too pervasive in our world. Well done.
