How Do I Do That ?
This page is where you can go to pick up some Elk River Wv tips & tricks .
We will be talking about things like reading riseforms , flyfishing in muddy water ( when the river looks like it does in the picture) , fishing through a hatch , etc .... From advice that can save your trip to the little things that I hope will have you going "I never would have tried that but I am glad I did " this is the place to visit .
This page is my way of saying thank you to all of you who have supported my madness and kept me on the river doing "research" all these years . You have literally changed my life and there is no way to truly repay the debt I owe you for that but maybe at least I can help you put a few more fish in the net .
This page is dediated to Ken "the old man" Yufer , my mentor . Had Ken not been willing to share so much with me I wouldn't have much to write about . His love of and dedication to the river are legendary and he has for decades fought her battles , taught all of us here to do the same and freely shared his knowledge , flies , strategies and for many years a plastic cup or 2 with anyone willing to help with the cause .
These are the REAL DEAL , tied correctly by me . This is the 1st time in years that my actual ties have been available . There is a difference between these and the clones others are tying , a big one , trust me ;) .... They can be purchased here !
