Beer Tricks and Fly Fishing

Scott Tilford — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:49:54 +0000

It’s a well known fact that as a fly fisherman you never stop learning. Each trip out to the water can bring new chances to improve as you pick up skills passed on through ancient teachings. And once in awhile the tips you find are not always related to casting at fish or choosing a fly. This is exactly what I found out on a recent trip with the guys from the film tour joined the LOOP Army on the Coeur d’ Alene river following the show. While taking a break on the side of the river we learned a very valuable way to quickly prep a beer can for shotgun drinking… and I have to say it was the coolest bit of schooling I’ve had on the river in a long time. I may be soaked in beer but damned if I don’t perfect this art!

It’s Old School

Ah… Sunday night and nothing to do. This is what happens when you get bored and start looking for old fly fishing videos. I messed around looking for some vintage fly fishing stuff, but it was the Youtube search for “old fly fishing” that landed me this gem. Royal Wolf? Check. Chuck Norris 80′s cut? Yup. Plaid shirts… you betcha. Oh and let’s not forget the three guys fishing within 4 feet of each other all casting in different directions. Impossible? Nothing is impossible when you’ve downed a six pack of Old Milwaukee my friend.

Japanese Sea Bass With a side of LOOP

The LOOP Army has no boundaries. It was great watching these guys ripping up some Japanese Sea Bass but I found myself seriously impressed by the night footage of the city. I was lucky enough to visit Japan once and now I’ve got a spot to visit when I make it back again! More vids on their Youtube page… or if you feel lucky (or read Japanese) you can try to dance around the website.

Cold Water Calling

Scott Tilford — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 04:38:55 +0000

December and early January were kind to us in the Northwest this year. It was cold but the lack of precipitation made for some low water and great fishing. There is something I love about fishing rivers when the snow is on the ground and ice fills the slow pools. The crowds are gone and you get a chance to experience a completely different river as the water level keeps dropping. The larger fish can get selective at times but that is what makes it even more of an experience as your presentation and fly choices can get put to the test. And yes you will battle freezing guides and hands for the first half of the day, but that magic couple of hours when everything comes alive on the river is well worth it. Oh and let’s not forget that fishing with your buddies any day of the year is kick ass fun!

Of course we can’t forget the winter fly tying sessions thrown into the end of the video. When cold weather hits around here you can be sure the guys will be at the table once a week throwing them back and planning the next trip. Lies, trash talking and beer… you can never get enough of that at the tying table and these boys never disappoint.

I can’t wait to get a hold of this film. The trailers are just sick! Huge pike, bloody hands, great film work and guns… These Danish boys are kicking ass and taking names. Oh and let’s not forget the outstanding choice in LOOP gear. Joe needs to get this in the shop… fast.
