09/04/2024: We feel a touch of the fall. It's indeed a transition period. On the Yellowstone River float and spring creeks, expect we do fair amount of nymphing. Then we'll seek rising fish to terrestrials and any signs of insect hatches.
Yellowstone National Park streams still offer some great hatch x rise opportunities.
The Second & Completely Revised Edition of "Trout Foods & Flies For Livingston's Spring Creeks" is SOLD OUT!
Hope to reprint next year.....
The Undaunted Pursuit
Dear Mr. Kelson
Flies of 8 Color Plates from "The Salmon Fly"
Plus 6 Flies from "Tips"
This project was the predecessor of the Traherne project. Toward its completion, I was working simultaneously on both. It was published very privately. As the Traherne project was completed and fully announced, I decided to make this one publicly available as well.
In the fall 2015, I assigned myself a huge challenge: to dress all the flies in 8 colored plates, which are immortalized by George M. Kelson in his "The Salmon Fly" (1895). I intended to frame and present them as a group for each plate. The project went through various stages of my life but I never gave up on this project.
Total 52 flies for 6 winters.
I then worked on 6 additional flies from "Tips" (1905).
This is only available through Blurb or Amazon, no direct sales from me.
