Hi J.C.,
I was looking at the Alrbright rods as well, but I know nothing about them either.
In the Albright series that they're clearing out, do you have a recommendation?
Further, if you...
Hi All,
I'm looking for a 7wt rod to handle some small bass and great lakes steelhead. I want one rod to handle both. I've found a website that is closing out some Redington Rods.
I have no...
Great ideas, guys...keep'em comin'
I just made some fly boxes this evening.
I picked up two soap trays (the travel type with lids) for $1 and a huge sheet of craft foam for $0.97. I cut the foam to size and glued it to the tray and...
I just received a new AirFlo Tactical Trout Ridge Line with welded loops at either end (I know which is the reel end!).
My question is this - having never had welded loops before, do I attach it...
Sorry man...I'm in Ontario, Canada, not Ontario, California!
I posted this on the warm water forum, but thought I'd also post it here.
I was out today and found some nice (?) crappies in amongst some sunfish, rock bass, and small largemouth bass. I say...
I need a little help with catching these little beauties.

Hey Lastchance,
You'll love the Grand. It's a great river with lots of qualtiy browns. If you're not going to be fishing with a guide, send me an email, and I'll pm you with a number of good...
Check your PMs.
PM me an email address so we don't go back and forth here.
Cheers,
Andrew
Where are you located in SW Ontario? I'm from that area too.
Cheers,

I have an Okuma Helios. It's a pretty good reel (I use it for smallmouth bass and steelhead), not fantastic, but pretty good. It has a nice, smooth drag system, but it's pretty touchy. One crank too...
Mr. Castwell,
I just read your recent article, "Advertising on the BB", and I was very impressed with both the style and tone.
You could have been nasty about the issue (and you would have been...
Panman's earlier post made me wonder if any of our FAOL friends had built their own fishing boats. Specifically, I'd like to build one for drifting my local rivers, and I'd like to do it on the cheap...
Would you be able to post a link to the website, or to the page with this boot?
Cheers,
Andrew
Greg...
Sounds great...I can show you around and put you on some big bass (particularly in early July).
Gime me a few weeks notice...we're expecting son #2 in April, so fishing time will be...
Hey Greg,
Actually, I fish the Maitland...I only visit the Grand to catch browns - what a river!!
Cheers,

Hi Warren,
Probably my most successful fly is something called a Sparkle Grub. It is an exceptionally simple fly to tie. I tie it almost exactly the way you would a wooly bugger:
1. Use a #6...
It seems that everyone loves the Clouser Minnow for fishing smallmouth bass...well, everyone, that is, except me.
I know it's an amazing fly, and I've caught other species using this fly (from...
I've been tying bass flies over the past few weeks, and my favourite is a simplified version of a sparkle grub. I tie it just like a wooly bugger on a #6 streamer hook, and it's very easy.
Tie in...
I just received the LL Bean Emerger wading jacket for my birthday this week. I haven't had a chance to wear it yet (our rivers are icing over) but I put it on the other night, and "field tested" it...
If you haven't already, check out the line in the original post. It's worth a listen.
As the 11th of November approaches, please take a moment to remember all those who have served, and continue to serve, in our armed forces. They fight so our children won't have to.

Hey Guys,
I saw an article on these fish in a magazine a few years back. I, too, thought it was a pike. The article identified it as a "chain pickerel". Do a google search for "chain pickerel" and...
