Thanks for the well wishes! No fishing (25 mph winds Tuesday), but I sold a house I had fixed up for resale, and put an offer on another one to fix up. Hopefully, it will all work out.

I found an old fly rod up for an auction on Sat. I was in a hurry and did not get a great look at it. It does look fairly old and looks to be fiberglass. Here are the things I noted on it:
...

I have had the same reaction in a small pond, but it was due to my fly line false casting over them. At first I had no idea what was going on, then just chalked it up to them getting spooked by my...

You could try casting them. If you have a line you know is a 5wt or 6 wt, cast it for a while, then put an unknown line on the same rod and cast. I'm a nube and not sure if you can easily tell the...

Evil, evil web site owner!! Hee hee. I figured you were telling him to get three rods to cover all his bases! Or maybe a 3 foot, 3 weight, 3 piece rod!! :lol:

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wulff?? Apparantly, not carp!! Good luck and wear a fast inflating PFD!

That is some mighty fine news! I am happy for Amy and you.

Ok, now I am confused. The drawing page currently lists the winner as Bob Riggins Robert and is listed as "NO RESPONSE". But, Ladyfisher said (earlier in this post) that the first winner did not...

Jack,
As long as the fishing gear is unpacked, you are officially moved in!! You can take a few years to unpack the rest of it all, in between fishing expeditions! May God bless you and give you...

Mrs. Knepp,
Bill, you, and your family are receiving thoughts and prayers from deep in the heart of Texas! Stay strong, and keep us posted on his hopefully quick recovery.

I went out on my lunch hour today and caught 4 LMB! 3 were in the 8-10 inch range, the 4th was 13?, and over 2 lbs. That is by far the biggest bass I have ever caught! What fun. And it was on a 3...

Thanks all! I'll take my time with the cleaning (assuming I can find a little time here soon!). I'll let you know how it goes.

I just recently purchased a fiberglass rod that is about 25 years old, roughly. It is a 9' two piece. The joint looks to be a metal, maybe brass (it was made in Scotland, brand name of Milbro, and...

Ok, I'll get the visions of retiring off the earnings from my find out of my mind now! :lol:
I guess I'll just have to clean it up and use it a little. I'll have to experiment for which line to...

I bought an old rod/reel today for $10. I am not completely sure what I have. I?m trying to get info on the rod and reel. All I got out of the owner (found it on Craigslist) was that his...

From what I have generally read, it seems they will catch anything, anytime, anywhere! Why oh why did I wait this long to get some!! :(
But now I have some, so watch out anything with gills!! :P

Ol'blue,
I have not seen this yarn before. I would like to give it a try. I'll pm my info.
Thank you for your generous offer!
Alan

But do they go well in spaghetti sauce?? :D
Once again, thanks gqualls
Alan

Well, I took the line out today and hung it over the edge, then did some even pressure pulls on the line looped over the rail. Reeled it all in, and.... very little change. So, I'll chalk it up to...

I snuck out for lunch today and did a few firsts. I did what I would call my first real ?moving water? fly fishing. I had to do a little mending and such (not as important because I wasn?t dead...

I would be honored to have a few of those feathers!
Thank you for the very kind offer!
PM to be sent shortly.

Lee,
So what you are suggesting for a ?relatively cheap? sinking setup is this:
1. get some running fly line (float or sink)attached to the backing, say 50-60 feet, with some type of an ?easy?...

I was looking at fly lines in my local big box store, gathering info on sinking lines. I can?t justify spending a lot of money on a sinking line right now. But, I would like to have the effect. Is...

Hey Tuber!
Just remember, until you get to actually beat the Gators, we are the National Champions! Hook 'Em Horns!
Ok, ok, that is pretty much all the smack talk I get to say after this...

I understand the coil memory and how that can work. Can a line have a twist memory?? If so, is the line pretty well toast at that point?
