Not sure about Massachusetts (I live in Wyoming), but one of the most fun and, frankly, easiest way to get into dry fly fishing is by fishing patterns like grass hoppers and Chernobyl Ants in late sum ...

Been a while since I've logged in here! Just got back home from Texas... had to run down there for a work thing but was able to get in a couple days early and fish with my good friend who lives in Sa ...

Belikin.

I suggest getting a 6wt with a fighting butt. I think a 6wt will be your best all-around option for the multiple species you list. If you find a rod with a fighting butt, you will be able to handle ...

I am by no means a salt water veteran (I live in Wyoming), but in my few trips to the salt I have learned a few things as far as what to take. I fished near Corpus Christi last summer.

Get one of ...

I had one of the best fly fishing days of my life yesterday. Hit the North Platte River in Central Wyoming... specific location is classified. Wink

All I can say is... it was AWESOME. We caught fi ...

Actually... I am going to be in Belize around the same time. I will be up at El Pescador Lodge and they are running a guide special two for the price of one. You might inquire with them...

This happened earlier today...

Thermopolis - A Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper patrolling US 20/WYO 789 in the Wind River Canyon was witness to a Burlington Northern freight train derailment into th ...

I am just curious what the collective here prefers to use. I own a vest but have since purchased both a chest pack (2 years ago) and a sling style pack (a couple months ago).

I always love my vest ...

man... I am getting excited for this trip! I almost forgot that I am also going to Belize in July!

Me = stoked!

Cool

Thanks Bjorn! I will most likely be packing only an 8wt and possibly a 6wt that I have for smaller fish. I don't currently own anything bigger than an 8wt, but I may be able to borrow one for the tr ...

So, do I need to purchase a particular type of fishing license when I am there, or can I just go out and fish from my resort area?

I did see on a Google search that there are blue water boats that allow you to cast a fly rod once a marlin is spotted... I then went back and watched the Flies & Fins video "Marlin on the F ...

Thought I would resurrect this thread...

I just found out that I am heading down there in January, 2011 for a week with some family. I am looking into some boat-for-a-day options through internet ...

Thanks for the info EnFuego!

I am heading there next week but I won't have much time to go very far. I am going for a work conference and I am just trying to fit in some fishing time in between me ...

Does anyone here read This Is Fly? (online only)

I like that one as well; in a way the style and approach is kind of refreshing, and I like their mixtapes.

Edit: Sorry, I just realized that Kor ...

Also, I want to add...

I have caught many cutthroat trout before, but on my "to-do" list is the Wyoming Cutt-Slam; catching 4 different species of native Wyoming cutthroat trout, document ...

What a great topic!

FRESH:

Golden Trout (there is a lake in the mountains near where I live that is said to have wild goldens)

Kokanee Salmon (another local lake is said to have these in ther ...

Here is a Google sat map of one of the "bendy" sections. This section is easily accessed from a state highway, so I don't mind sharing it.

Speaking of the Sweetwater specific to Wyoming... I recently read an article in the Wyoming Business Report that we should be expecting a surge in grasshoppers this summer throughout the state. The S ...

Well, I can tell you this... the Sweetwater River in Wyoming is one of my favorite rivers in the world. It comes down off of South Pass in the Wind River Range and eventually joins the North Platte R ...

Thanks guys! This discussion is very helpful to me! I am actually looking to buy an 8wt rod right now, but my budget is very limited and I am not able to cast some of the models I am looking at (onl ...

(sorry if this has been covered here before)

I was thinking about how I use different lines with different rods and wondered what the collective thought about this...

What I do know (correct me ...

I own a 2010 Subaru Forester and I LOVE it. This is the 7th Subaru I have owned in my life, but I traded in my 2003 Ford Explorer for the Forester (my Explorer was the only non-Subaru I have ever own ...

The Drake and Fly Rod & Reel are my regulars. Also The Flyfish Journal is a must have. I usually pick up the latest Fly Fisherman at the grocery store when I see it, but The Drake is definitely ...

have FUN and enjoy your surroundings!

Wink

On a side note, I have fun playing with a cheap POV video camera that I have. I have really only used it skiing so far, but it is waterproof and it has a strap that I can attach it to and wear it on ...

I just found out that I may be going to Belize this summer with my dad.

Me = stoked.

We haven't ironed out the trip details, and I have never been there, but I am going to start practicing casti ...

One of my good friends is a pro photographer, specializing in fly fishing and skiing photography. He is over in Utah and actually does a seminar for the 'recreational' photographer while fly fishing. ...

This time of year my fishing is very limited to chances to fish on business trips or a tailwater that is more than a 125 mile drive (one way). I'm not really into ice fishing. I tie flies and read a ...

Thanks Jeremy!

I will only have the option of 9wt for this trip; my 9wt is a 4-piece and the next rod down in my quiver is a 2-piece 7wt; not ideal for air travel - especially on a business trip.

I am heading to Tampa next month for a work conference. I am staying at the InterContenintal Hotel there in Tampa (where the conference is) on Kennedy Blvd. and I will not have a vehicle. I was look ...

I was playing around in iMovie and threw some of my recent photos together in a little slide show. I don't know if I can embed a Vimeo here, but here is the direct link:

I would say, if you want kind of a 'do it all' heavier rod combo, get an 8wt. You will find that it will come in handy in a number of situations well into the future. You will be able to use it in v ...

The Snake ain't a bad choice either. Cool

That's pretty average flow. They keep it pretty steady year round, from what I understand. This canyon is a short section between two reservoirs (Pathfinder and Alcova). THis section is really only ...

New here as well. Stoked to... well, share the stoke.

I think we can all agree that we are here because we love "chasin' fins".

Mine would be the North Platte in Wyoming. Anywhere from the upper section near Saratoga all the way through The Mile, Fremont Canyon, Gray Reef and on into Casper.

I had an awesome day on the Platte this past Saturday. We hiked down into Fremont Canyon and hit a semi-secret spot. I say "semi-secret" because the canyon itself is not a big secret, but ...
