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 ...

hey bfw, i heard there were a few around yesterday. I'm headed your way next month. I'll shoot you an e-mail with exact dates, would love to get out with you.

Always been a big fan of SA lines. I have admit i'm a bit skeptical about this one. Glad to hear it fired like a cannon for you. Have to check it out.

Marabou soft hackles and rabbit strip patterns in white, purple, pink and black are tough to beat in the Great Lakes.

Make sure you purchase "tropical" fly line. The water will be super warm there and if you roll with a standard floating line it will get gummy and cast like crap. I would look into the Wulff ...

Cloudveil has received some good press lately and I am looking at their 8x wading jacket. Curious if anyone out there has any feedback in regard to the performance, durability and features of this wad ...

I'm in the simms rivertek's @ 279.00. I got a year out of them...sent them to bozeman, they sent me g3 rentals. Turn around time was 3 weeks. they did some repairs and i have been leak free for the pa ...

definitley looking for a tip flex. The largest fish in the system are always sipping on the opposite bank, on the delaware this means you need to throw a 60' to 70' cast and wind is ever present. I ha ...

I am currently in the market for a fast, tip flex 5 wt for the Delaware River. I have a TFO 7 weight that has slayed more than it's fair share of steel and treated me well, however, it is their price ...

I have a few DS2's that have been kicking around for a long time. I beat them to a pulp and have never had one break. perfect boat rod.

If the weight of your line is propelling your fly you are fly fishing.

I LOVE to CATCH Steelhead, through the years I have found that the most effective method in the Great Lakes is nymphing egg patterns. I swing strip flies on the spey a handful of times in early fall a ...

Excellent boz, get the skinny on it and holler at me. Thanks a bunch.

Looking for a used 15' fiberglass drift boat w/ trailer. Preferably somwhere in the Northeast but I'm sure my arm could be twisted into crossing the continental divide if necessary.

Glad to hear the presentation was such a success! Wish I could have been there. Hopefully I will get to live the dream again this summer and lay the smack down on some WB LL's. Way to go Boz....Keep u ...

CuChef,

You are living in the right place for Northerns! I sent you a pm.

Nice work guys, gotta love the Core.

Good deal John, looking forward to it. Are you still coming solo?

Agreed on the amber lenses, just got a pair with smoke and I hate them...just can't get used to tham and in low light situations I can't see a thing.

Todd,

Good to see you out and about in the salt. We hit it pretty good the following morning the albies were in thick and I got my first one from foot. I'm sure we will cross paths on the steel hig ...

Thanks for all the kind words guys, it has been a pleasure fishing with all of you. Looking forward to another great season of ice in the guides and lightning on the business end. Lastly, I want to th ...

Headwater refers to the upper most reaches of a river or stream. It's the area where the river begins.

I think a true tail water is created by a dam that realeases water from the bottom of the reseevoir as opposed to top. This keeps the water temps very consistent.

Typically the dropper is tied in off the lead fly at the bend of the hook.

Nice story and pics...looks like you had a great time out there. Glad to see everything went well!

All depends on the weather....If we don't get the rains, they can't release what they don't have. The res. is loooooooooooow

That is SICK. Nice work!

Marcel,

Great pictures and nice fish. The mayfly looks to be Ephemera guttulata (Green Drake) not 100% sure but looks very similar.

Marcel,

That is some nice looking water, spring creek?. Can you elaborate on the mayfly hatches a little bit...species?....size?...water temps? etc. Just curious if the hatches are comparable to wh ...

I prefer a fast action tip flex rod in 9 weight, for punching flies and split shot into the wind. Not to mention a little backbone in the butt section doesn't hurt when you are trying to turn a 15+ lb ...

Alot of good points made here. I agree that the least amount of time the fish spends out of the water eqivocates to lower catch and release mortality rate.

We do a ton of steelhead fishing here du ...

I am a self confessed Hex junkie myself. When the dog days of summer arrive I head for the glacial lakes to get the monkey of my back.

I think you would be better served targeting the commercial fishing industry. The impact they have on the striper fishery may be a little more substantial than the guy with the five weight.

Beautiful Great Lakes Steelhead

Robb,

The guys over at www.flieandfinswest.com will be able to point you in the right direction.

Splendid! I Always enjoy your photo essays.

Very Cool Marcel. Are you using floating line?

I would bring a sink tip with you. Depth charge 200 grains at a minimum.

Nice work. They are tough customers on the fly.

Chromefinder,

Did you jump any poon or get one to the boat?

Killing me man. Just want to fish a nice mayfly hatch in short sleeves.

Manchester is very Norman Rockwellesque. Typical New England town......Green Mountains are sweet. Lots of history and roots. Plenty of good fishing to be had....Battenkill...Lamoille River...etc. supe ...

Wise choice Cole....I think you will be happy with it.
