Every stream has its honey hole, the pool or run that consistently produces. But things change. The river changes: a heavy snowpack and then a spring blowout or maybe even a drought. And your honey hole disappears. Gone forever. We’ve lost a few honey holes through the years, and the disappointment is real. In this episode, we discuss some of our favorite runs and how we made the adjustments when they disappeared.

The Fly Fisher’s Book of Lists
We’ve published a book for regular-Joe-and-Jane fly fishers called The Fly Fisher’s Book of Lists: Life is short. Catch more fish.
One person who purchased the book called it “cliffsnotes for fly fishers.”
To switch metaphors, perhaps it’s more like a handful of potato chips. It’s an entire book of lists. The goal is to help you find practical help quickly and in an easily digestible format!

I fish a small tailwater that’s only about a mile and a half long which means prime water is limited. It holds nice fish but can get continually pounded. One thing I’ve tried to do is fish during low water conditions- mainly to search out and find hidden honey holes that could hold nice fish during normal flows. I can’t always get my own hole all to myself but it helps my confidence to fish a spot I know should hide a nice trout when I can’t get my favorite water
That is a huge insight and tactic … really thoughtful.
