For the money, the Ross CLA is tough to beat in my opinion and made in the USA which is important to me. Waterworks / Lamson has also treated me well through the years. Good luck on your search and te ...

The "backlash" problem you speak of could be a line twist issue, caused by improper spooling. If you are just starting out the Okuma might be alright but they are suspect.

Ironically enough I fish BIG, west coast palmered marabou stuff here in the Grreat Lakes and do really well with them. Never tried any GL patterns out west but I have seen several fly boxes of various ...

I have the Venture 7, not happy with it for a number of reasons. It free spools in sub-zero temps, the handle is metal and sticks to wet fingers in the cold and last but not least, I believe it is mad ...

Wheatley. Don't own one but would love to.

I prefer amber lenses. Where I live the sun rarely makes an appearance, so for low light situations I have found them to be most suitable. Also, I have found the more $$ I spend the better care I giv ...

What a fine trip you have put together Joey. The best guides on the Olympic Penninsula and a killer abode on the Bogachiel. Really looking forward to slipping back into the rainforest and getting anot ...

Wow! Looking back I can actually scratch the 36" bass off the list and was so close to my pacific steelhead that it almost brings a tear to my eye (came unbuttoned). I guess 09' was a stellar fis ...

Check out the Degrasse, it is a superb fishery. Also the Saranac and Bouquet.

To be honest, I have never even handled roe. When we were fishing the tribs this spring I fished a dead drift egg pattern in front of a pinner with roe sacks and I hooked zero fish and he landed 7 or ...

After having great success with nymphing and swinging flies for quite awhile, I think I'm gravitating towards the really dark side this season. Centerpin outfits and fresh roe...maybe even back trolli ...

In my limited experience the surf candy is tough to beat. Have had sucess with it from the boat and from shore. Can't wait to be a wall rat for a few days this fall.

I think an important aspect of nymphing is building your own leader. Depending on what type of water you are fishing, using different diameters of leader material in short sections will slice through ...

Super healthy Rainbow and another fine Roach. Well done Marcel!

You really can't go wrong with Ross reels. I have the CLA and have had it out with everything from albacore to king salmon, never had one problem.

excellent. looks like a great unit, thanks for the feedback.

looking for a nice soft sided case to store materials, vice etc. when trveling. any suggestions?

I threw one with an SA Mastery Steelhead in a 10wt. Seemed to turn big flies and bulky indicators over quite well.

sent you a pm.

ditto for me on the presentation. long leaders and downstream, quartering casts are paramount. like jeremy, we fish large wild brown trout in crystal clear water here in the catskills and if you don't ...

Welcome John, It is great to have you on board. Looks like Rail Riders and Flies and Fins will be a perfect fit, seeing that both brands are in the extreme adventure industry...going to have great syn ...

how do you think the Moffit system would work on bonefish? C'mon...give me a break,

NT, how big are the rivers you are fishing? mostly freestones or do you fish big tail waters?

1. a staff who is not pretentious.
2. staff that is not pushy when it comes to moving product.
3. not being rushed.
4. alot of the shops around me are very clicky. if you are on the outside look ...

The Ross CLA is a workhorse...my bread and butter....it has handled blistering 200+ yard runs from albacore and steelhead without missing a beat. I', pretty partial to Lamson and Bauer reels as well b ...

Welcome...we are stoked about the presentation too Very Happy

agreed...done deal on the chapter title. thx AD!

Here are the ideas of pages that we have drafted up so far. Any suggestions, critiques or insight would be great because the ultimate goal of this chapter is as Jeremy stated to have the community cra ...

All good and valid points here. Guiding is NOT fishing...actually the complete polar opposite. Above all else you need a positive attitude and a willingness to serve. All is fine and dandy when your g ...

Wow Hawk...got it done in a big way! what an awesome trip...great shots.

A quality Query letter is key...times are tough and you really have to work to "sell" your product.

Trout - RIO - Gold

Salt - Wulff triangle taper

Striper over 36"

Delaware River Shad

Pacific Steelhead

My fishing itinerary will remain consistent. Most of the places I fish are within a 100 mile radius of my home so my regular outings won't suffer. As far as air travel goes I only do 1 trip a year if ...

Hey flyguy,

Everything Jeremy wrote in this thread is still pertinent.

Most Finger Lakes tribs are closed until 4/1, however, there are a ton of options ...

Hey Jallen,

Here is a link to a review on this site about the Native:

I am a big fan of the power shot type carb gels and such. A quick boost of carbs can make all the difference in the world. and WATER...WATER and more WATER. Like Joey stated dehydration is an outdoors ...

Hey Joe,

I would highly recommend John Meskauskas at stuartflyfishing.com he is the real deal. Myself and a couple of the regulars here have fished with him, he goes the distance to take care of bu ...

I have fly fished in and around the Mayan Riviera during the summer months and the Jack fishing was pretty consistent. I know there are year round possibilities for bonefish, permit, jacks and cuda in ...

I would go with the Rio Skagit. You will need a 5' cheater to load the rod properly....floating cheater for the floating tip and an intermediate for throwing sink tips.

Iso's in the pockets behind boulders are deadly.

Travis,

What application are you going to use the spey for? Rivers, saltwater off the beach etc... also what length are you looking at?

Capt. Don was always smiling and joking, he will be missed greatly. I will miss pawing through the zip lock freezer bags full of flies.

Boz,

I have the 8' 4 weight (Tom Morgan's Favorite) An absolutley incredible rod, nothing but good things to say about the Boron composition. Can't speak for their customer service....never broke o ...

My Sage fly rods have all been purchased from LL Bean. Price differentials rarely enter the equation when i make a fly fishing purchase. What does, however, is customer service, location and return po ...

KC....I think Temple Fork makes a line specifically for the application you are talking about. It's called the Outbound....it's a two-handed overhead line. I have heard good things about it.

Austin, I will pay top $$$ for a dozen of your surf candies...they are amazing.

ps. you have to fish the upper delaware with us this season, no exceptions.

I started tying sulphur emergers on Weamer's tru-form hooks. It took a bit of getting used to but I love the way they ride on the water. Is anybody else tying on the tru-forms?

Thanks guys, all good info. Seems like a great tool for a number of different purposes. My buddy rolls with a 13.5 Wenonah solo for a waterfowl application and it is all business. I found the Old Town ...

Was wondering if anyone has paddled the Old Town Pack canoe. It is a 12 foot solo constructed of Royaltex with a 31" beam weighing in at 30 lbs. Looking to get into one this spring and take it fo ...
