The pan is a tailwater that holds some picky trout. Pheasant Tails and BWOs work well along with a ton of different midges. your flies are going to be small # 18-24 and you tippet light 6x-7 ...

Tridge, I would just take her out yourself and play guide for the day. Teach her the fundamentals and see of she likes it. Thats what I did with amy and now she asks me to go fishing. Take her to a sp ...

I have used a 7 weight TLS and 8 weight Zero G (both orvis) for steelies and think it is perfect. The 7 weight is 10 feet and helps with mending. Any mid to large arbor reel should do the trick. I li ...

Fat those are some killer shots.....I know that the viking helmet and the hagar wig were busted out after a few adult beverages. Looks like you boys were having fun.

The blue river is pretty technical and gets alot of pressure through the town of silverthorne. There are some big fish and you can see them in the gin clear water. Mysis shrimp will work, rs2's ...

The fishing in Utah is Awesome, There is a ton of water to fish. I would reccomend hiring a guide to show you some spots and then you could go out on your own after that. This year there is going to b ...

Who knows what will pan out for me in '08. But here is what I would like to do.

- Maine in June Stripers/Landlocks

- NY/NC for some Steel and Albies i ...

I use the greenies when fishing for trout, I think they look like rocks or moss cruising down the river. This is good for clear water. The past couple years for steelheading I have used the same type ...

Used a hatch reel this past week while steelheading on the OP. Extremely nice reel. Everything about it was smooth. It was a nice back up since the drag completely burned out on my Mach IV. If I had d ...

Thats a tough one, right now it would be the roaring fork, it has been off the hook lately. Then it would be the taylor and then the yampa. Sounds like you are going to be more in the southern part o ...

Never fished it, looks like a good place to go. If you are down that way you might consider the san juan if you can stand a crowd. Big fish there. But a lot of people.

Zach- goodluck this summer let me know when you make it out maybe I'll cruise over there and wet a line with ya. I havent fish the platte that much it is kinda drive for me. When I have fished it smal ...

I have lived out in the rockies for just about a year. I have fished for trout every available day and have had some luck. Jeremy asked me to lay down 10 flies that an angler should have in his/her bo ...

Good luck. Take some pics.

Never fished that area but have hit some spring creeks near me about 5 hours north of there. I have had luck on big stimulators, woolly buggers, and nymphs. If they are spooky and get a ...

Cyrish,

I live in Edwards about 100 miles into the mountians from Denver. the fishing here is killer. I work PT for the fly shop here and could definately point you in the right direction. We have ...

Wow pulling a boat down from Maine to NC for a last minute trip!!! It would seem to me that flying there and getting a guide for a day or two would be cheaper than hauling a boat there (and back) for ...

SA for me thus far. I have no complaints. The most recent line that i have bought is the Orvis Trout Easy Mend. I really like that line as well. I have only use Rio tippet material never the line. Rig ...

Jeremy, I guess you should've called Pat when you had a flat instead of the towing company. He could have told you that you have a spare tire on back of your truck. Wink

Pat is a cool fella. I have had the pleasure of meeting him a few times and he is always pleasant and full of ideas. Check out his site for some tips on car and truck related questions. It could save ...

I roll with the fishpond shooting star. Chest pack/ back pack combo. I generally do not use the 2 together. usually the chest pack for trout and the back pack for steelhead. The chest pack has 2 compa ...

WOW -30 is pretty chilly. I guess that you might be removing ice from your face as well as your guides. But, I bet Nov and into Dec are going to be killer up there. All the hunters will be in the wood ...

I saw what boz had posted on a previous entry and was wondering if anyone had braved the unknow? Winter Fishing on the East Outlet. I would be interested to hear what people have to say about this. I ...

They fly shop I hang at out here (and work for part time) is probably the coolest in my area. It is not huge but they carry a good variety of equipment. All the guys are chill and make you feel very w ...

I haven't used a guide in a while, I usually will if I am fishing new water, especially in the salt since alot of the time you need a boat. It is also worth hiring a guide if you are going to be in th ...

I just go cheap, super eight motel six, you know...I have stayed in a killer lodge in Argentia (dove hunting) when my old man and gramps were flipping the bill. First class all the way. Private land t ...

BFW, Weclome. I have been checking out what you do down there in and must say it looks impressive. I will definately give you a call on my next trip south.

Was chating with the owner of our shop today and he has been fishing a demo for the past few weeks and told me that the line sinks. not just a few feet of it, around 15 feet sinks. I can see this as a ...

Good info KC. The patterns I have been tying (the intruders) have a stinger hook (the only hook size 8 or 10) in the back near the tail. I use the shank of a size 4 or 2 to tie the material to as wel ...

I wonder if this line would help with "icing on the guides" in the winter. If there is less friction on the guides this might help? Would be interersted to see if anyone has used it in the c ...

I generally fish with buggers like jeremy. Although I have been tying some steelhead intruder patterns for a trip to the OP in March. The things are ugly. Six inches long black and purple, blue and bl ...

Hey Bryan have fun, get the grand slam and make us all green with envy. A few guys from the shop head down each year in October (I can't remember the guide they use, but it is on san pedro island) and ...

Sounds like alot of fun. Its funny that you mentioned conway Bowman, I met him and his wife this year at a fly fishing charity event our shop put on. He is a cool guy and I planned on conta ...

I dont really know jinxed. Right now the dam in "sleezy veazie"(as we called it in college) controls the salmon count in the penobscot. From what I have heard from bangor locals is that when ...

I am rolling with simms g3 right now and really like them. They are a little pricey but for the amount of time that I am in my waders it is worth it. They are bullet proof...so far. But they also have ...

I was wondering if there are any brown trout in alaska? May seem like a funny question but I don't think I have ever seen one come out of there.

I have a fast action low end TFO rod and use it mainly as a streamer rod. But, have also used it for dries and nymphs. I think that it casts great for the price that I got it for. This past s ...

Midges (red, black, cream, grey),baetis, bwo's, Rs2s, scuds, all tiny stuff in the tailwater. Don't be afraid to throw some streamers at them either. Sculpins and woolly buggers. I am not 100 percent ...

I am with you jer on the top three sites. Always updated with new content which keeps me going back.

I think fly fishing to me is defined by the cast and eqipment used (fly rod, fly line, flies etc...) I don't think trolling with a fly falls under the category of fly fishing. A certain amount of effo ...

I have always rolled with the amber colored lens. I like the view out of it, even on cloudy days it adds some color. Grey lenses are too dark for me. I just bought a pair of kaenon rhinos and love the ...
