I rock Headhunters

Come out this weekend. Fun times. Fishing is good. Drinking is better, with some BBQ, and cheap flies.

Customer Appreciation Weekend at Headhunters Fly Shop & Guide Service...tomorrow BBQ and Half Price Fly Sale…and music @ Izaak’s…if you dig that kind of thing.

As always free coffee, BS, information, customer service, and some education for good measure.

Headhunters loves you my friends…have a kick-ass weekend. Be safe.

Looks like good eats | photo Fisher gang

Good morning. Duke is a fishy dude. Last week CARP, this week TUNA. What next Duke?

We’ll find out soon…

Two-Striped Grasshopper | Melanoplus bivittatus | Grasshopper Order

Are they everywhere? No. Are they consuming all of the green mass around the river? No. Do the fish eat them at every opportunity they get? No.

Is hopper fishing and the eats associated with them out of this world? Damn Straight.

This feller came the other day while fishing north of town, well north. Fishing was average, about 2 takes a mile. Not bad, if you are into that kind of thing. The 2 takes are predatory fish, that are generally brown in flavor.

Cap’n Carp snapped this fella on the infamous Hadhunters porch. Right next to the legendary YETI.

Some of the HH gang has been fishing the big pink Morrish. Big fly, big fish theory sometimes prevails.

There are a bunch of hoppers on the banks, littering the shorline. Not many in the water. Odd? Maybe. Ask the Hopper god, on he knows.

Nice job Rick. Rick’s first, but not last saltwater excursion…

He does look happy. I would be too, it is a happy moment.

Fishing is so much of just that, the fishing part. It’s enjoyable to participate in the catching part too.

Nice job Rick!

Greg Thomas from Anglers Tonic has just launched his Fishing Dog Photo Contest.  Send in your best pic’s of the hound and you fishing to win prizes.  What?  All those days on the river with Fido and you don’t have any pictures to share?  Get out there and catch him in the act.  You’ve got time.  Don’t worry about competition from Headhunters.  John won’t win anything with images of Sprig asleep on the boat.  Mark doesn’t own a dog, but if Greg launches a Fishing Cat Photo Contest, then you better watch out.

Greg has a bunch of great prizes lined up for the winners, but you can’t win with any cat pictures.  Grand prize is a Loop OPTI spey rod and matching Speedrunner reel. Worth what? About $1,200 retail.  Other prizes are coming from Hatch, Yellowdog, Bug Slinger, Smith, fishpond, RO drift boats, Deneki (and probably Headhunters). Check out the Anglers Tonic site for up to date fishing reports, great images and music, and follow Greg as he fishes around the World.
