Weird how we fly fishers are so close to the water??? 50 yards from my backdoor is Spearfish Creek, lots of browns anytime I want em'...Which just happens to be quite frequently.

Thanks for all the help. I'm trying to stay in a budget, but I'm lucky enough to live about 50 yards from the creek, so I fish alot. I think I may need to go with a higher quality wader. I'll check...

My hodgemans are in pretty rough shape, I can tell by the amount of water I ring out of my socks. I'm looking for waders that are best suited for alot of movement. I'm pretty active when I fish,...

Hi all...I'm looking for some fly fishing programs to fill in this void I'm feeling...it's been waaaaaaaaaaay too cold to fish here in South Dakota. So I need my fishing fix. Some say start tying,...

On the way to the water its coffee, but after the fishing stops, it's Old Milwaukee.

I bet I've said "It just doesn't get any better than this" about a million times.

I would also suggest searching the national forest websites. My wife and I stayed at a NF cabin 8 miles west of Yellowstone NP for around 30 bucks a night. Primitive, but warm.

Nice to e-meet you!! I, too, am a new fly fisherman and have learned a great deal on this site. Thanks to all who have offered advice, and good luck on the water.

Thank goodness for the warranty!! My folks came to town this weekend and wanted some pictures of me fishing for the scrapbook. Just another excuse for me to go fishing. As I'm tying the fly on, my...

I've been having some success fishing with just a BH nymph, but I've heard suggestions on adding a second fly off the nymph. But what kind of fly works best? I suppose it depends on several things,...

We are staying with our friends in Big Sky, so we will be near the west entrance. Our plans are to explore the park Oct. 10-12. I checked some web sites, and most of the campgrounds are closed.

My wife and I are heading out west to MT for our friend's wedding. I'm actually conducting the service, so it's an exciting time. We are planning on spending a few days in Yellowstone and are...

Hello Brian,

I thought I should contribute to the topic because I am a new fly fisherman myself. I went to Scheels (local sporting goods store) and picked up their brand of rod and an Okuma reel....

Using the link from above, how long does it take for that stuff to dry?

See you in the hills

Thanks for all the info..I'll make an attempt Friday since I've got fishing to do Saturday and Sunday.
