Pretty cool stuff. Big Water. Tiny Flies. And a unique strain of awesomely colored, wild rainbows.

Mike

I remember "tying" my first fly. I sat at the kitchen table holding one of my stepdad's little maggot hooks in my hands and tying some rainbow colored ribbon onto the hook like a sucker spa ...

Awesome...have a hard time getting them to bite though... Smile

...? Why no shot with flies in their mouths... Wink

...? Nice pics Marcel

Thanks Marcel

I'll be in Naples the first week of July for a family vacation, but I should be able to get in a day or two of fishing. I don't have the money to hire a guide, but I will if it is necessary. Would I ...

The fish in your post looked really nice as well, and you got some great shots...cool angle on the last pic. There are a few wild trout streams close to me, but the one in the picture is only a mile ...

The flowers are immature, soon they will open up more. To my knowledge, they are native to Europe and Asia, and were implanted here(U.S.) because they have medicinal qualities. I looked them up onli ...

I went fishing on a little stream, right by my house, after school yesterday with great results. I was only fishing for around an hour and a half. These were my first trout of the year.

Colt's Fo ...

It's still legal in PeeYay, so I'm using lead. I think the brand is water gremlin, or something like that. It's OK stuff; cheap, dull color, grips the line pretty well without much line damage. I g ...

That reel looked a little Hardy-ish...

...Nice fish

Austin, that's an interesting point. I only know one other person in my school who flyfishes, and even so he is not very involved in it. Yet, I'm not convinced that it hasn't always been that way. ...

Jeff,

Hey, I live just a mile or two from Elk and it would be a good place to start if you come up. There are plenty of fish. I would be glad to help you out wth some nice areas to fish, and some ...

"rookie", may want to go with the 6. It will load the rod easier than the 5.

I hope that you're eating those snapper. They look sooo good.

That's a great time to fish for steelhead, yeah the leaves will be there but it's not that much to deal with. Every few cast clear off your fly and or line but when you hook into the fish it will all ...

Ok. I would recommend Tom Eakin of Wet Water Guide Services. He's a good guy and can surely catch the fish, not only that he is a great teacher and will give you information that you can use all of y ...

I live in Erie, PA and although I have never been on a guided trip I can tell you I have heard some bad things about Dfishingfool. I will ask around for you to see who may be a good guide. But there ...

The easiest way to explain it is to tie a section of tippet around 8"-16" long off the bend of the first hook and then tie the second fly(dropper) onto this section of tippet. You can add y ...

I'm sorry. I thought he meant the "female" end was to large for the "male" end, as in they were loose when put together. Sorry for the misinformation.

If it's a new rod...as in your the original owner, then you should send the rod to orvis and they will correct the problem. If you do anything to the rod (sandpaper) the warranty will be voided and t ...

"Orange sun in the morning, fisherman's warning"
"Orange sun at night, fisherman's delight"

Has to do with the ocean only, something with tides I think.

I am still fishing with my first 5 wt. setup and I have a St. Croix Avid 9ft. 5wt. along with a Ross Flywater reel. The rod has a lifetime warranty and St. Croix has great customer service. The reel ...

Thats great colehatch. The area reminds me of some of the beaches on Lake Erie that I fish for carp on. Were you fishing one of the great lakes? If you could send me a PM with some info on flies an ...

I had one crash into my screen yesterday and I thought a helicopter was crashing into the window. There here also.

Mike

Alright, let me know.

A couple things...

...you have officailly devoted too much time to your fly fishing intrest on the computer with the develompment of the fish in your signature!

...I have heard about the cicad ...

John, can we sqeeze me into one of your rod tubes! Id love to come! Seriously..............awesome man.......... don't jinx it though!

Mike

Those are some great bug shots. Nice story, and I am glad you were able to land your chub.

Thats interesting Marcell.

I've caught quillbacks, a form of sucker. Also freshwater drum/sheephead. They are fun and put up a great fight. I actually target them in the summer and they are relatively easy to catch on a fly, ...

Does anyone have any information on the boogie woogie caddis or possibly the pattern?

Mike

Yeah, I dont have one. Not an option at this point. Thanks though. I went out and did fair on soft hackles. It was nice to see some trout.

I am looking to try for some early season Brown Trout in local ponds. They have been recently stocked and I would like to give it a shot. My advice so far on flies has been soft hackles. Could anyo ...

Nice job man, but your pictures are to small. Wink

Good for you man. Unfortunatly here in Pa we have a fall runing steelhead, so my fish are old and moldy now Confused

Hope you take advantage of it and score with some nice steel.

Mike

In the coming weeks I would like to fish for walleye in Lake Erie. Spring would be the olny time when I could get a shot at them with a fly rod because they gather at the creek mouths to feed on the ...

There was a "fly fishing the world" recently with Hewey Lewis in the bahamas fishing bones. It was pretty good. I find that show hard to get into just because it's so short, but still goo ...

I saw that show about a month ago. It was great. Thanks Jeremy. Another hour and it's fishing shows from there on tonight. I was home sick today and saw the ads like every 15 minutes. (Yeah I spen ...

There was an article in Fly Fisherman Magazine about largemouth bass fishing the California Delta.

I have a battenkill mid arbor for my 9 wt and I use it for pike, bass and steelies, as well as saltwater when im fortunate enough. I am pleased with it . I paid 130$ for it and it has an incredible ...

EP flies, those strange pink/chartreuse ones seemed to be to the liking of the few Tarpon I encountered at pond X.

Look for any lights in the water around docks. I was in the keys in January and hooked up with three tarpon from various docks. The first night there I went down to the dock and found a light hangin ...

I caught a good number of jacks in the keys on a chart/white deep diving clouser.

Whats my chance at gettin to 'em in about 30-40 ft of water in lake eire? trollin for themis big here but iv'e never heard of them on the fly. Do they make lines that could get the fly down there or ...

Hey mardog im 14 also and have been looking down that road myself. I just do whatever I can to go fishing. I am a mate in lake erie in the summer and do some dock work. I think it'll kinda take its ...

New jersey you had me scared there for a minute with the weather. but we'll be with a guide for at least one day. Im good with 'cuda too, but bones are what i really want.

Marsh we'll just chec ...

Hey sorry I didnt post sonner...i had a little emergency.

Well to begin one of your main goals will be to get your fly in the fish's face and the fish are on or near the bottom, so as an answer to ...

Thanks Marsh! Do you know if they sell flies? I could just run down there and pick up a couple dozed different patterns.

Alright alexis...will do!

Wait it looks like I lost the recipe for that crab fly. I had it written down..but now its gone.

Thanks to both of you. Yeah Marshal it was me who asked you some questions earlier about the trip. We'll things turned out for the better for me. we were originally planning on 1 day flats 1 day wre ...
