Hi,

Get some conehead and/or beadhead wooly buggers in different sizes. Get some in olive and black. I really like olive the best. Since you already know how to fish rivers with a spin rod and spoo ...

I just got back from steelhead fishing, and used the new/upgraded Orvis Sling Pack. Loved it. Durable zippers and plenty of space in both pouches for my tippet, leader, fly boxes, camera, light rain j ...

Hi,

I visited some relatives in Destin Florida a while back when I was just starting out fly fishing. I remember walking the beaches in the morning and afternoon when the surf was calm and seeing p ...

The Powermatrix was the first fly rod upgrade from the clearwater (my first fly rod ever). It has been on countless trout and salmon trips with me and withstood many of cars, canoes and boats. Has eve ...

Hi,

That time of year can be epic in Montauk. We had a party there last year and it was the first time that I got a chance to visit Montauk, NY on foot. Amanda Switzer is a great guide out there an ...

I fished a mirage reel last season for albies, sharks, bonito and steelhead. The reel held up great. No problems - a solid piece of equipment at a competitive price. As far as backing, I prefer the ge ...

Not to happy about the most recent submergence of my SONY HD camera. Actually, it didn't submerge - I mistakingly left it outside, and of course it poured rain that night. I awoke to see the camera wh ...

Marcel, great shots! I love the shot of "Striper chasing bait in wave." Not an easy shot to get, for a number of reasons.

flyinredneck, I have been having some great luck in Maine with t ...

David,

Thanks again for keep us all up to date on this issue. As "simple" as the problem seems eg:

problem: oil is leaking
solution: stop it

It seems that there is so much banter a ...

Through the years there has been much technological advancement in the digital photo and video realms. Amazing to think that some of the first videos on this site were 160x120 resolution - because tha ...

Curious what everyone looks for in a fly fishing trip? What does fly fishing represent for you? And, what do you search for in a day trip, weekend trip, week long trip, etc? Like everyone else, I enco ...

Ya, No Kidding! A Maine BFT on the fly has been one of my "white whales" for some time now! To date, I've been so close ... but "no cigar"

<object width="425" h ...

Fisherone,

I am from Maine, so perhaps I can help a little bit. Ogonquit is a sea town in southern Maine. I actually fish stripers and chase bluefin down that way a fair amount of time. A "spe ...

Interesting. I wonder if the term "sweetwater" applies to that specific river? Or, is it a term that is broader than that too? The post I had been reading was from Boz about wanting to catch ...

I was just reading something that mentioned the word "sweetwater." I have heard the word used enough but not enough to ever really pursue the meaning. Also, I "thought" that I knew ...

I have actually done this twice. The second time wasn't nearly as memorable as the first. It has been a long winter in Maine. I book a flight to Florida to fish. I get to Key West area. Park rental ca ...

Bfly - Great post here too! Been some good and interesting threads here lately. Congrats on all three of those "surprises." I have one "surprise" in 2009 that I won't ever forget. ...

What a great question. Probably, an age old question. I think of it like an onion with layers. There are many layers and different degrees of the "passion" for fishing. For those who have ma ...

This year (2010) ... my "wish list" goes something like ... Permit, Blueback Trout, Peacock Bass, 18" Delaware River Brown trout on dry fly, 40" striper on fly, Pacific Native stee ...

Hey All,

Joey put together this killer trip to Washington's Olympic Peninsula for Native Steelhead. He's been fishing and filming with some great guys and outfitters up there for a few years now - ...

Oh, man I am so jealous sounds like a "dream come true" for me. If you do get some pics be sure to submit a "fish tale" for the home page of the site. Meant to ask you what the hec ...

Hi, Welcome to the site. There are a couple other guys from Austrailia on here ... Austalia is also my "dream trip" and has been for a very long time. I'd like to experience some of the fres ...

What a great topic. I have been addicted to lot's of things for long durations of time too. Some of the more significant have been Fishing, Golf, Skiing And Mountain Biking. For sure, the oldest (sinc ...

Funny, I am kind of in the "same boat." For the first time ever, I am going to Florida for matters that are not specifically related to fly fishing. So, I won't find myself at my typical Flo ...

I am "being real" when I say, at this point in time, I like "working my *ss off throwing 60 feet of line" with a fly rod and a small single hook with feathers, better than any othe ...

Hey Steve,

Thank you for jumping in on this! Appreciate your taking the time to do this. So, since you're the "Reel Guy" at Orvis ... perhaps YOU could give us a little personal insight i ...

I fished a two handed fly rod in the saltwater this spring and a few of my friends also fish them from time to time. Yes, its true you can cast far and all that stuff - but, for me, something about it ...

Hello Evan. I have lots of very good friends who are guides and make their living in both areas, and they rely on guys like you and me to hire them for a 1/2 day or full day guided trip. Florida, in p ...

Hi Roofish,

On the top left of the site you will see a "search bar" ... type anything you want in there (germany, maine, brook trout, tarpon ... etc..)

That should give ya some good st ...

Roofish,

Welcome aboard! I think you are not alone in the sense of "admiring from afar" and in many respects we all are constantly learning and admiring. Even though I'd love to and will ...

It seems that Zeebars isn't the only one who referenced "Dan Blantons Board" in relation to having some great content relating to the TFO Clouser fly rod. I checked it out and it is really s ...

A resume and pic? What would that be for? Question

Anyway, It's interesting that you post this right now because I am going to be in West Palm Beach Florida From Jan 30 - Feb 9 .. would be cool to fish wi ...

I can not really remember where I first heard the name "Jack Gartside." Perhaps it was in the context of his amazing soft hackle streamer flies that my friend Boz introduced me to for Salmon ...

Hi there,

Wish I could offer you some advice but I have personally never casted these rods or any St. Croix fly rods for that matter ... guess I've just never had the chance. Anyway, I did notice t ...

I live in Maine .. and just walked out side. Yes, its December but today the temperature feels more like October! Its very warm, the sun is out and -- of course, as almost a natural instinct, the thou ...

Hey Jeremy -- you didn't mention that your friend was Kory ... Great dude and great fly fisherman .... I've only fished out west a handful of times. Since kory is from the west coast, I've been tell ...

I do a lot of saltwater fly fishing in a small skiff - and a hand held GPS unit has been priceless for me. It amazes me that the service for any GPS is FREE. Anyway, for simplicity sake I got Garmin E ...

Jim,
I'd highly recommend David Severson. He strictly fly fishes the Salmon River
and surrounding tributaries. Dave has been part the Flies And Fins crew for as

Hey Jeremy,

Thanks man! Although, there are a lot of great people, friends and talented fly fisherman from all around the world responsible, in one way or another, for "doing a great job with ...

Great tips and advise Joey! FYI, Joey is good friends and does a lot of video/photography
work with RA Beattie .. To see some real quality video content, some good
angles, good use of light etc. ...

Wilkie,

this blog post</a> this morning - thought it might ...

One of the great things about the internet, has been its ability to give us
access to virtually unlimited amounts pictures and videos. Gone are the days of waiting for the 1 or 2 fly fishing mag ...

Everyone (I think) love to dry fly fish .. sometimes the hatches are epic, sometimes they barely come off and some people seem to love one hatch vs. another hatch. So, what are your favorite hatches t ...

Someday, I would love to devote more time than I currently do, to fly tying .. but, at this point and time in my life, I buy more flies than I tie .. or, "borrow" more flies from my friends ...

So, its almost 2010 ... What kind of fly rods is everyone using these days? Are there any new fly rods on the market that you'd recommend to friends or that you'd like to get for yourself? ...

Nice. I will check them out. I'm sure it would be able to tow a 17 foot skiff too. Also, I can totally see why (for you) a car/truck would absolutely have to be "good in snow" .. I've been o ...

So, my car is pushing 175,00 miles. I am going to drive it into the ground, but at some point in the future .. I'm gonna need to buy another vehicle. So, I am wondering what everyone out there might r ...

Yes, Rhodyflyguy .. I know that you and I are on the same page when it comes to "eating" and fishing .. i too enjoy NOTHING. no food, no water and about a gallon of black coffee in the morni ...
