We’re honored to have many loyal fly fishing professionals around the world, that take the time out of their busy schedules to follow and comment on Gink & Gasoline.

Tom Larimer, owner of Larimer Outfitters, is a veteran fly fishing stealhead and trout guide, spey casting instructor and hosted trips specialist. He’s a good example of the type of “high caliber professionals” that make up a significant portion of our G&G community. We can’t tell you enough how much we respect this man and what he brings to the fly fishing industry. If you haven’t visited the Larimer Oufitters website, we highly encourage you to check it out. It’s loaded with all kinds of great fly fishing information and it’s updated frequently. You’ll also find information about Tom’s fly fishing guide services and his international hosted trips.

This week, we showcase Tom Larimer’s “Nymph Rig for Deschutes Trout” a great fly fishing tips article, that’s sure to help you learn how to rig and fly fish big water more effectively with nymphs. When Tom shares his fly fishing knowledge, we listen. The man knows a thing or two about catching fish on the fly.

The Feather and Fin blog has proven to be a solid resource for keeping track of all the latest upland hunting and fly fishing articles published electronically across the world wide web. This week, we showcase a fly fishing lifestyle piece written by Spencer Knibbe (F&F editor), as he takes a minute to step away from his regular routine of highlighting other writers works, and talks about “Why He Fly Fishes.” As someone that enjoys the pursuit of bird hunting and fly fishing, I’ve enjoyed following the Feather & Fin website.

When I first started following fly fishing blogs heavy seven or eight years ago, one of the first blogs that fully grabbed my attention and respect was The Caddis Fly “a.k.a” Oregon Fly Fishing Blog. I was blown away back then and still am for that matter, with the quality and consistency of their fly fishing posts, and I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I’ve learned a great deal over the years following it. One area that The Caddis Fly really shines is it’s fly tying videos. Jay Nicholas, one of the blogs most active fly tiers, is a fly tying hero of mine.  He claims to have over fifty years of experience at the vise, and he knows how to tie everything under the sun. Recently, I ran across his Saltwater Fly Tying: Introduction post, and it was too well written and valuable to not to share with all of you. If you’ve been a big freshwater fly tier for years and you’re looking to now dive into tying saltwater flies, this article should be at the top of your list to check out.

Thank you to the The Caddis Fly: Oregan Fly Fishing Blog for all of your great content over the years. It hasn’t gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Cheers.

Keep it Reel,

Come fish with us in the Bahamas!
