About ondafly

I have met some of the most amazing people through fly fishing. Paying forward all the knowledge and lessons I have acquired over my life is worth sharing. I continue to learn something new every day on the water. Fishing makes me happy and sharing it with good like-minded people is what it's all about. Life is short, smile each day, and have fun, hopefully near water.

fly of the week.

The QGill is a fun bluegill pattern tied using all SF Blend in four colors, there is lead wrapped around the shank so the fly can slow sink. Markings are done with waterproof sharpies. Hook is a Mustad 4/0 tarpon hook. Go big or go home. lol Spring is here and the bass on on the beds, I’ll be swimming this fly along the tules – AlQ – Photography by Al Quattrocchi

pic of the day…

Hi Al,
I wanted to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’ve really enjoyed The Corbina Diaries. Today I caught my first fish on the fly and it was a corbina…I caught a bat ray last weekend, but it was a foul hook so I don’t consider that a proper catch. I actually caught the corbina on a fly that Chris Nichols tied.
Anyways just wanted to say thanks! Hope to see you out on the beach one day!
All the best,
Andy

That’s awesome Andy! Keep at it, it gets better and better…your on an amazing journey
-A

Denny Kaneoka with an estimated 30 pound carp landed at a local lake. This fish ate a drop shot plastic senko. WTG Denny! A carp of a lifetime.
