Lake Placid Fly Guys

So much for the thaw!

Eighteen below this morning.  That is quite the opposite of last weekends temps. It will warm to eleven today and the sun is shining. We take what we can get.

This video clip from Orvis featuring the New Mirage reel and sharks should help warm you up.

 

 

January Thaw!

Crystal clear today and warming nicely, temps will hit thirty today and thirty five tomorrow. Wet a line this weekend and this could be you.

Fly Fishing Film Tour is Coming to Lake Placid!

The Drake Magazine Fly Fishing Film Tour is coming back to Lake Placid for the second year in a row. The showing will be held at The Lake Placid Center for the Arts on March 13th. It is a great event featuring some of the most exciting fly fishing films being released in 2010 and this year will feature content made for the tour. It is a great way to scratch the cabin fever itch and even better all proceeds will benefit the Tri Lakes Chapter of Trout Unlimited. More details of this exciting news will follow as they become available but in the meantime mark your calendars and plan on being here in March!

Still Good Steelhead Action

Check out this great photo from our friend Nick. This just goes to show that for those of you willing to brave the weather there are still plenty of steelhead around to be caught!

 

A little hard water action for the fly guys. You have to get out and fish somehow and when it's -4 the shack is the way to go! The smelt action was good and the smelt fry was even better!
