Awesome opening weekend for Sarah, Andrew and myself! Sarah caught her first ever brown and Andrew and myself smashed 7 trout on #12-#14 copper head nymphs I whipped up this week! Saturday was a cracker of and day and by cracker I mean the weather was crap! Rain, wind and cold!!! About the same story every year for season opening in the New England!!! But hey persisting in the elements and catching fish on Hohnke Hooks is what it's all about!!! Today (Monday) was a lot better 23 degrees Celsius, not a cloud in sight and a gentle breeze. Andrew had hooked 2 fish before I even walked 10m from the Bravo to the creek. the rainbows seem to be very acrobatic this season which always makes it that extra special!!! Enjoy the photos and I look forward to tying orders for you in the future!

Anticipation
After months of cold, hard fishing things are finally starting to warm up here in Tamworth! The carp are readily
Taking fly, and the golden and silver perch are starting to smash lures (which is always a good sign) and the trout season opens this weekend and we also welcome daylight savings (it's a beautiful thing).
I love this time of year my mind wanders and thinks of all the places I fished last season, will the same fish be there? How much bigger will they be? And how will the creeks look after heavy rainfall? Questions that will be answered as I rig up my fly rod and Sarah's spin rod this weekend.
And what better way to channel some of that energy then into afternoons at the vice finishing off last minute orders for highly valued customers. I just hope I have enough materials to make sure I can give my box a refresh
