Tuesday TIp - "Dry Dropper Rig" - May 31st, 2011

This week tips once again features r.b. wright outdoors ProStaff member Gordon Vanderpool. Gordon discusses the "Dry Dropper Rig" that he fishes quite often this time of year.  While fishing with Gordon, we saw a tremendous amount of activity on the water surface -- several trout "sipping" flies as they drifted over.  However, the bite was slacking off and Gordon noted that although it appears that the fish are feeding on the surface, this is actually only accounting for about 20% of the activity.  To prove his point, Gordon switches to the "Dry Dropper Rig" and immediately began catching trout again.  As we have said in the past - this is a sport of adaptability and Gordon understands this better than anyone I know.

April 5th, 2011 - Tuesday's Tip - "Tandem Nymph Rig"

I have always looked at a master fly fisherman as a “true outdoor artist.” Recently I had the privilege of fishing with such an artist. Professional guide Gordon Vanderpool of Turning Stones Fly Fishing is based in Franklin, NC. Although I have had some experience fly fishing, I asked Gordon to treat me as though I was one of clients who knew nothing about the sport. Gordon does an excellent job of explaining in detail the how, where, and why of fly fishing. I look to forward to releasing the two part video segment that includes an in-depth interview with Gordon in the next couple of weeks.

With spring in the air - fly fishing is on the mind of many of our viewers and followers. I thought it would be a great time to feature Gordon on this week’s Tuesday Tip. Make certain you watch the video below for detailed instructions on how to set-up and fish the “Tandem Nymph Rig.”

I greatly appreciate your follow and hope that you enjoyed this week’s Tuesday Tip.

I would like to hear from you - If you have a tip that you would like to see featured on this weekly segment make certain to e-mail me at rb@rbwrightoutdoors.com.
