Love Simply
Image by katherine lynn
Last Sunday I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding up in Semiahmoo Park, which was the farthest north I have ever been! (49 degrees latitude – I grew up just above the 45th in Michigan, and that was considered "north country")
Somehow, despite the weather forecast of "100% chance rain", the sun peeked out from the clouds, and they were able to have the ceremony down on the beach. (blogged)
My Rollei was loaded with film, so I captured some landscapes just before the wedding events took place.

Flies sure have come a long way. Today there are dozens of specialized vices and tools as well as hundreds of supply outlets. And of course you can buy ready made fresh or saltwater fishing flies from anywhere in the world, with the click of a button. But one thing remains the same; the best flies are hand tied by people who tie from experience. And that’s what this article is about. We’re going to take a look at some of the best flies, for any fishing conditions and locals, hand tied by the true masters.
Let’s do this by region. If you are planning a fishing getaway this will give you time to get the best flies you need for where you want to go. And of course, it never hurts to try a new fly at you favorite local spot. You never know…
Starting in the northeast I bring your attention to Joe “Flycatcher” O’Clair. If the name sounds familiar, you might have heard it mentioned by fly tying legend and editor of Fly Tier Magazine, David Klausmeyer. David featured Joe as one of the “top 13 US fly tiers” in his fly tying hardcover classic; “Striped Bass Flies: Patterns of the Pros.”
A saltwater fly tying innovator, Joe has designed some great flies for fishing conditions common to many coastal anglers. Located on Cape Cod, he caters to the need for distance casting by beach bound anglers and saltwater flies that are visible, but natural looking, in the cloudy Atlantic waters of New England. Joe’s “Cone Head Deceivers” make the distance and sink rapidly. They do the trick nicely, working especially well on Striped Bass and Bluefish. http://www.FlycatcherFlies.com
If you’re looking for saltwater flies that work like magic from the coast of Nova Scotia down to the outer banks of Carolina, FlycatcherFlies.com should be your first stop.
Now we head down south to St. Petersburg, Florida and fly tying great Danny Sauvageau, of DansCustomFlies.com.
We visit with Dan for one of his latest creations, “Dan’s Weedless Shrimp” http://members.ij.net/danscustomflys/WeedlessShrimpPage.html. This little beauty is virtually snag proof and great for Seatrout, Snook, Bonefish, and just about anything else that will eat shrimp.
Dan has been designing and selling his award winning flies for over a decade. Next time you find yourself in his neck of the woods, a visit to his online store is a must.
Now let’s head over to the Pacific Northwest and http://www.adiposflytying.com. If you’re looking for great Salmon, Steelhead or Trout flies, look no further. The pros at Adipos got their experience fishing the best that British Columbia, Alaska, Washington, and Oregon have to offer.
These are rugged flies for hearty fish that are as at home in the Washington as they are west coastal Canada.
We finish our online pursuit of great saltwater fishing flies in Southern California with a visit to Gary Bulla of http://www.garybulla.com. Gary is one of the foremost experts in designing flies that work especially well for kayakers and surf casters going after Yellowfin Tuna and Roosterfish.
These are just a few of the great saltwater fly tiers out there. Most of them and countless others sell out of local bait and tackle shops as well so look around the next time you take a last minute fishing trip. There’s bound to be a local legend fly tier that has just the right fly for what you’re after.
Keep those lines tight!
Proving that fishing for fun can pay off; Scott Jason founded http://www.SaltwaterFlies.org and spends his free time testing the best master tied saltwater fishing flies the world has to offer.

Ohio is a magnificent state that s well known for its lakes, or at least amongst bass fishing enthusiasts it is! The waters are excellent, the facilities for bass fishing beginners and experts alike good and the potential catch rate is high what more could you ask for. However, bass fishing enthusiasts think of Texas and Florida before they think about the bass fishing action in Ohio, so it is about time that the worm turned and Ohio got the credit it deserved! In that place, there is no better place to start than Columbus!
Columbus, Ohio is fantastic for bass fishing. The bass are regularly checked and are extremely healthy, of a good size and weight and actively managed by fisheries so you are guaranteed a good time whilst out on the lakes.
The guide below will give you a great introduction to Columbus, Ohio bass fishing and The Best Time To Fish Largemouth bass are found in Columbus lakes in very good numbers so you can fish all year round there. Winter bass fishing is not exactly fun because the temperatures do tend to drop below freezing in the winter months. However, the vegetation is as such that you may get a bite or two anyway!
If you want to choose the best possible time of year to visit the lakes then go for early spring or late fall. The bass love the slightly cooler temperatures and are plentiful throughout. They will be much more accessible to you at those times of year than in high summer or winter.
Choosing The Right Bait
Ohio bass fishing is versatile in that the bass are relatively active and so will take most baits. However, the ones that have had the most success in the past are spinnerbaits and rubber worms. Both can be used extremely well no matter what the weather and temperature and are fairly versatile. Another bait that experts in the area advocate is the jig-and-pig. If you want to try something a little different then that may be it!
The Lakes
And now for the most important information where to go! There are many lakes to choose from, but if you can manage it then visit all of the lakes below. I guarantee you will enjoy your stay!
Tycoon Lake – Located squarely in the Tycoon Lake Wildlife Area, Tycoon Lake is
204 acres and is home to a huge population of largemouth bass. There is abundant vegetation, which makes the fishing interesting to say the least! For the best bass fishing experience, you should try the shoreline and the floating pier towards the east of Tycoon Lake. You will find that many of the bass congregate there, thus making a bite easier for you!
Burr Oak Lake Slightly bigger than Tycoon Lake at just over 600 acres in area, Burr Oak Lake is a favourite of many bass fishing enthusiasts in the Columbus area because it has plenty of prime spots for fishing. The lake itself is thin and very long, with plenty of fallen trees on the shoreline providing cover for the bass and a perfect place to fish for you! If you do like to fish deep though, you can find depths of up to 30 feet here so it might turn out to be your bass fishing paradise!
