Platte Rivers Veterans Fly Fishing

Today May 25 2026 Memorial Day!

If you tie flies or use tungsten beaded nymphs you have heard the price for that metal is going up. Some die hards will buy them anyway. There is a great video from Fly Fish Food that explains this situation going forward. Some options going forward can be many of the following. Buy now and stock up, use brass or nickel beads up a size, use wire as an underbody when possible, or use split shot like a bounce rig. I know tiers and fisherman will endure and come up with inventive ways to over come and adapt.

These fine gentleman enjoyed some sun and fly fishing on Jenna Lake today. Should be some great stories all around.
