I went to the keys in May, and found bonefish on the keys. Specifically Bahia Honda State Park, in the morning. I found small bonefish that would school in 4 - 5 and dart around the white sands. I l ...

I had a quick question and looking for opinions. I recently attended a fishing show where I got to try on the New Korker's Chrome with the BOA System, and the SIMMS boots with the BOA Laces as well. ...

I used to work at Lenscrafters WAAAYYYYY Back in the day, actually making the glasses, so I'm trying to dig up what I can from my memory.

It's not so much the color of the mirror finish as it is th ...

I use Rio Striper DC lines. On my 9 weight, I have 300 grain

I typically use a 10 weight for stripers, and I like to use a 350 - 400 grain Rio Striper DC line. This helps punch through the hard ...

What are the steelhead rivers like in Southern Idaho? I'm in Massachusetts and the only river I fish for steelhead (because of lack of knowledge of other places) is the Salmon river. On my 3 trips ...

Reeladdicted - Thanks for the assumption that I know more than you. Every day I feel like I know less than everybody else. I probably don't know more about it than you. I read alot about it.. but w ...

Do you think it will hold up to tarpon's, snook, red's, etc. My buddy has a reel, idk what it is, but it's not a disc drag like mine was an any time he hooked some thing big the drag did like nothing, ...

I would have to give some serious props to the Sage 1600 reel here. I had the 7 - 9W model and several different spools for a while now. And the drag system has never failed me. I've used it for St ...

While I'm not a big beer drinker, the best beer that I relate to fly fishing to this day is Newcastle Brown Ale.

short story why:

After a 5 hour drive after working 13 hours at the office, my f ...

There trully is a difference between cheap and expensive polarization filters in sunglasses.

Costa Del Mar's are some of my favorites.

Now I know with website forums, they have advertizers th ...

That's awesome to hear. I am a HUGE fan of Sage products, and their customer service. Thankfully, I have only had to test it once.

I always get nervous when fishing with an older rod that I've ...

Alright folks. You can consider me the AUTHORITY on steelhead fishing, at least on the west coast. I've tried all kinds of flies. I've fished steelhead all over California and Oregon, from BC to Pa ...

I am really interested in one of these Mirage reels, and the orvis guy is on this site so I might as well ask....

and I will probably get burned for this question. Usually I get a the Toyota compa ...

I guess it really doesn't matter as long as we are catching fish!

certainly. I don't want to offend anyone, or make anyone angry. But in my opinion, it just doesn't feel like fly fishing to me. I understand you are in the fishes element, but you aren't casting th ...

IMO Czech nymphing is an effecting nymphing technique. But it's not fly fishing. Rolling Eyes

It reminds me a lot of Tenkara Fishing.

i apologize, but doesn't that pollute the water? if it does, please use it on your own private pond. my lakes and rivers are struggling enough!!! Shocked

thanks for the great offer... i've casted that thing so many times... I'm in love Wink

I am absolutely envious. I want that rod bad! Saving up the pennies until I can drop the chedder on that stick!

When they start feeding on the surface, it can be crazy. I have seen big big carp come clear out of the water!! Razz

The area where I fish for Carp as a lot of tall standing grass with mud bottoms. Kinda haven for Dragonflies. a size 10 Dragonfly nymph in Olive Green with plastic mono eyes, works great around the ...

I own a Colton tradewinds fly rod. 10 weight 9 foot rod 4 piece. I spoke with a gentlement from Colton, I believe his name is Bob, and he was wonderful to work with, as well as his wife.

Thanks for the information! Those rods look beautiful!! a little out of my price range, but defintiely something that I would aspire too!

Your thought process is the same as mine. High sticking ...

Dug this one up Shocked

Thought I would do some searching before firing off this question. I am in the market for a switch rod. I can't quite fire off a 80 - 90 foot roll cast with an 8 weight just ...

I'm in Worcester, Cape is 1 hour away. Waiting to fish it more extensively this coming May though!!

Stripers should be coming in soon. South Cape, and Canal are expecting to see fish around last ...

I would have to Say Dick Empie's Goldie! Several warmwater fisherman I know swear by it, and I have had some great success with this wicked simple fly.

Freshwater - Steelhead(anysize, my last three trips to Salmon river got me skunked. ) Evil or Very Mad

Saltwater - Keeper Striper or an Albie (both have eluded me) Crying or Very sad

I've learned a ton from that river. On both sides of 9. The y-pool holds fish year long of great size. Thin leaders and tiny flies are usually the trick there. Great looking fish.

What weight ...

Had a great oppurtunity to try out a 2 weight line on it. It felt heavy on the rod. I am new to ultralight fly fishing, but the 2 weight just felt too much for the tiny rod.

I tried out the DT1F ...

Thanks for the info!

I picked up two new setups this month and so right now it looks like I am going to go XPS. I have th SciAng Trout mastery on my 5 weight and love that line.

If I am going ...

I was worried about memory to be a problem.

I see the XPS goes as low as a 2 weight. I might just have to go 1 weight up on my line if it means no curls. I have used Sci Ang lines a lot and real ...

Thanks guys! I called orvis and due to a descrepancy, they honored a pretty good deal and so I have a BBSI coming in for the thing. Made for 1 - 3 weights under 100 bucks. with a spare spool.

I hope I am posting this in the correct forum.

I recently picked up a sweet little 1 weight on sale. I am pretty excited about it, and it's the lightest rod in my arsenal. I am however, having ...

To be absolutely honest....

One the greatest combos for the money was the St. Croix combo at Dick's Sporting Goods, my friend has it. It's a tank. It has suffered some serious abuse and it casts n ...

Over the past few days, I have been humming that tune all day through cubicle hell, through repairing my GF roof and her windows, through taking my car to a shop to have the tree removed from it, and ...
