I once had the opportunity to do a float on the South Fork, and not only were the damn Chernobl flies by far the best flies we had, some of them were clearly better than other…the next best fly was maybe the Tarantula. Mind you the South Fork was a pretty big river for this boy to even begin to comprehend.   Eugene K.

Well, you can take comfort in that they don’t work for very long. "Gimmick" patterns come and go, eventually the fish aren’t fooled by them anymore.

Sculpin is the name of a baitfish of the order Scorpaeniformes, at least in the US. I don’t know what fishes of that order are present in Europe, if any. What colors and hook sizes do you prefer? The one I have is brown wool head and olive body and tail. Do you use them mainly for steelhead?

There’s a streamer called the Muddler Minnow which was originally tied to imitate sculpins. I use them as streamers when I want an imitator. I usually use them in #4 or #8 for bass or trout.

There is a designer named Stalcup, but it’s not related.  A sculpin is a little ugly fish that hangs out on the bottom of rocky rivers.  So, you fish it like a streamer, except that most people seem to bottom-bounce it.  I haven’t heard of using it for steelhead, but I don’t fish for steelhead. It’s in all the modern books here in the US as a rainbow and especially brown trout lure.  The colors you mention are right.

Sculpins, family COTTIDAE, are a bottom-dwelling species, often found under or between rocks. You should match the color and size of the naturals wherevever you’re fishing and fish them "rightdownonthebottom". Sculpins are a very important fly to have in your box for fishing the Norfork in Arkansas, other than that I don’t use them. — Ken Fortenberry

Question:

The Longest Silence, Thomas McGuane I’ve only started the book, but I am already humbled by McGuane’s story-telling in this book.

I enthusiastically agree.  Even though most of the material in this book is recycled from "An Outside Chance, 2nd Ed." which was recycled from the first edition, which was a compilation of essays published in "Sports Illustrated" (in their glory days in the 70’s) and elsewhere, this book is a must-read.  McGuane has a gift for writing like nobody else I know. I wish I had been born 15 years earlier, and had been in Key West in the early 70’s, when it was haunted by McGuane, Russell Chatham, Jim Harrison, and Jimmy Buffett.  Don’t even want to go there now, I fear it would be a horrible disappointment.

Question:

at about 10 am on saturday, matt called me from the shop to let me know his guided trip was cancelled. it was sleeting/snowing and the outside temp. was about 28. we decided it was perfect weather to go fishing. so we got together, geared up, and headed over to tn to fish the tailwaters on the watauga. after a lunch stop at jeff miller’s favorite burger franchise, we headed to the parking area, put waders on and made our way down to the river. the watauga river at this stretch is about 40 to 50 yards wide with an awesome cliff face acting as the opposite bank. there is a water-level cave in the cliff face that as legend goes, was used by the confederates to hide ammo and stores in the recent unpleasantness. as we approached the water, a few other anglers were pulling out, explaining as they went that the water was going to be coming up from the generating station 12 miles east of where we were and it would get pretty hairy if you were out in the river. i asked one of the guys what kind of increase, and he pointed to his chest…in other words, about 3′ of higher water. well hell, we decided to stay close to shore (mama didn’t raise a fool) and try our luck. i tied on a bead-head pheasant tail, size 14 and started dead drifting it through a run and picked up a 12" or so rainbow. i noticed that i was now standing in about 2 feet of water where before it was only about a foot. i checked a rock that i was keeping an eye on, and sure enough, water was starting to flow over it. i hailed matt and told him we better move back some and as he was pulling in his contraption (for lack of a better term for the established guide rig) a rainbow took one of the many flies he was drifting. another gentleman, who was downstream from us, made his way up towards us and we all entered into discussion about what a great strech of river it was and how much higher the water would rise. neal was fishing a beautiful leonard bamboo rod with a princess reel, awesome. he was testing a new crane-fly pattern that he had tied up. as we were just standing in 6 or so inches of water trying to decide what to do about the riskier conditions, i started dead drifting again. bam, a fish. bam, another, fish. as matt was talking about leaving, bam, another fish. to hell with leaving….i say. the river had come up (a foot or two), the water was faster, but it was definetly fishable. here we were, just the three of us, on the most coveted trophy section of the watauga tail-race. cool. to shorten the story….many more fish were caught (matt even managed a big rainbow at about 18-20), some regal (pabst) beer was consumed, and afterwords, it only took 3 hours for my feet to thaw. walt — Ezflyfish.com http://www.ezflyfish.com BRBG http://www.abebooks.com/home/BLUEBOOKS P.O.

Sure, it’s easy.  Long as you’re not scared of bears and are comfortable with backwoods camping and rafting.  Lot’s of people arrange their own float trips, and there is a thriving business in Alaska around doing that.  You have to be an independent sort, but it is NOT hard.   Try contacting Alaska Bush Carriers in Anchorage, or Fresh Water Adventures in Dillingham.  ABC flies to the Talachulitna, Mulchatna, Chilikadrotna, Deshka, and Lake Creek.  FWA does the Togiak, Goodnews, Kanektok, and others.  Both can help you with rafts, or you can get rafts from Wild Alaska Rivers in Anchorage, and air frieght them to point of need. You can do the Tal for about $500/man, and the Goodnews for about $800/man, not counting airfare.  ABC can rent you a tent and camping gear package as well as the rafts.   Camp Bendeleben, out of Nome, is an interesting trek outside of rainbow trout country, and is on the edge of the known planet.  GREAT silver salmon and char fishing in late august.   I’ve used both of these outfits, and like them.  Using a different outfit to go to the Alagnak this summer, will see how they do.   I recommend that you get the book, ALaska Fly Fishing, by Tony Route, to get you grounded in what kind of tackle you need.  All the gear you need can be gotten in Anchorage if you have a couple of hours between flights.  Try Mountain View Sports, or McAfee’s Fly Shop.

Response:

Have you considered Arctic char fishing in Canada’s High Arctic?  The Cdn $ (the loonie) is way down so prices are currently a bargin in US $. There are three options out of Pond Inlet on northern Baffin Island:  1. An Inuit guide/outfitter can drop you off at a fishing spot for a few days and pick you up later.  2. The guide can stay with you and you can try different fishing spots, and enjoy the specatular scenery, mountains, fiords, glaciers, caribou, whales, etc.  3. Or try the lodge in Kuluktoo Bay (most expensive). Up to 6 fishers can share a boat so a small group is most economical. Tununiq Travel and Adventure can put it together for you.  As a tour operator, they can access the lowest published airfares for you out of Montreal or Ottawa. Pond Inlet is well north of the Arctic Circle so you have lots of day light to work with in August.  The ice usually goes out in late July/early August, and after that you can travel by boat. The char are along the shores of the fiords and near the mouths of river until late August. Last year some lucky fishers were throwing back the 15 lbers and keeping the 19 lbers. For more information visit the web site:  www.tununiq.com General descriptions of Fishing adventures are on the Tununiq Adventures page, but check out the other pages for background information (e.g., the Wildlife and Climate pages via the Our Natural World page).

My question is, can anybody out there confirm Earnhardt’s information?

Response:

Scott, Tom’s article is correct, sometimes … In the Outer Banks, you can see an incredible range of conditions and therefore widely varying fishing situations, but for the most part, you will be able to cast to a catch albies from the beach. I would suggest contacting a local shop or two in the area you intend to travel to, and find out if the fish have been close in before you go. Try the Hatteras area, the Morehead City area and/or Harkers Island. All can be real hot spots when the fish are bitin’. Good luck, and hang on!

… on fishing for False Albacore off the Outer Banks of North Carolina…

Scott, My son and I were at Harker’s Island this past Sunday.  Breezy, cold and sunny.  A weather front had gone through the following day and the Albert "pop-ups" were scattered.  About 17 boats/rods were FFing most of the day in the Cape Lookout area both inside and outside the "hook."  Some of the big dogs in SWFF were there.  Some folks were flipping spinning rods.  We learned of one fish hooked up all day.  I’ve been in the "hook" on days in November when the entire surface was alive with fish.  Some days you get ‘em, some days you don’t.  A boat would GREATLY improve your chances.  If you come, try to plan several days of fishing to give yourself a shot at one day when everything is "right." Our one day was still better than sitting at home!  You can call John Martyn at Sea and Stream in Durham, NC for info on current fishing conditions (919-403-1604).  He also can put you in touch with Bill Harris or one of the other FF guides in the area if you decide to go that way.  John or Bill would probably give you more accurate, last-minute info about on-the-water conditions than the locals at Morehead or Harker’s. Good fishing!  J. Rice

You should pick up a current copy of California Fly Fisher at your local fly shop.  There is a good article with all this info. The gist of it:  try #14-16 nymphs (pheasant tails, hare’s ears, etc), wooly buggers, and have some small caddis and midge dries too.  Fish anywhere between Pleasant Valley Rreservoir and Bishop. Use a long tippet and drift it downstream as the trout are line wary. Fish the undercuts and riffles as well as the pools where the fish are more obvious.
