Shaq,

Great to see the rewards of a days hard effort. I think it is often a mental challenge to stay in the game when things aren't working out and having it pay off is sooooo rewarding. I need c ...

SS-280 I love the T-14 and can cast it far enough if I have a backcast. When spey casting with my one hander I can only get about 65-70 feet of line out and in the run we were fishing that was not en ...

Given the water levels I was just drifting bugs.

I agree with much of what you say, but there are situation were a spey rod is much more efficent in covering the water. A couple of trips ago SHAQ was using a spey and I was using a 10-7 and he cover ...

Hey Greg good luck. I hope you checked the regs because the last time I was up there in early 90's the salmon season ended oct 15.

jeremy,

I have missed this discussion being away all weekend at a music festival. I had no idea that FNF was mostly a trout/salmon site. I started out as a trout/salmon person having chased trou ...

jer,

ChrisR had lots of good advice so the only thing that I would add to that is just believe that the fish will be there. Since you've have had good results in the past. Try positive thoughts, ...

I was out trout fishing a new piece of water today and saw many huge carp (3+ft long). I had one on briefly (5 wt on a wooly bugger) it was unreal, like hooking a king salmon. Does anyone have any e ...

As others have stated I love the articulation. I have had very, very good success with an articulating streamer for trout. The added bonus of easily switching colors, length, weight and ?vibration m ...

my favorite is "10 % of the fisherman catch 90% of the fish. "
