Match the Hatch
My good friend James Marsh has recently reminded me of a few things about matching the hatch. "Matching the Hatch" is a very popular term used by anglers. However, it’s only correct during the time an insect is hatching, which on the average, is less than 5 percent of the total number of days any species of aquatic insect lives. For example, a mayfly that lives a year, usually only hatches during a period of a week to three weeks in any one given stream, although this varies greatly from stream to stream and species to species. The majority of its life is spent as a nymph!
Rare Blue Trout
Blue Rainbow Trout are a rare mutation that occurs in hatchery production of rainbow and brown trout. It is so rare that one hatchery has reported that in a spawn of about 40 million eggs only about 30 of them are indeed blue. If you are looking to hook one of these rare trout, you should expect to catch millions of fish first or maybe not. Ronnie Goodwin was able to capture one as seen on his stunning video embedded below.

Yes, we at Trout University are going to offer a great medium action fly rod at a very attractive price. Our "Perfect Fly" fly rod is the most versatile fly rod you could own. We think it's the best 5 weight fly rod ever made.
Smoky Mountains Brook Trout Report
Recently, my good friend James Marsh and Christopher Tobias had an opportunity to spend a few days fly fishing primarily for brook trout in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Chris had served 8 years in the Marines and completed 3 tours of duty overseas including one in Iraq. Now, he wanted to get in some fly fishing before heading out on a deployment with the Army in Afghanistan. He picked the perfect partner in James Marsh who is our resident expert in the GSMNP although he is too modest to admit it.
