I don't own one, but I'm curious why/when you would want to fish while wearing a full back pack? I usually pack my stuff in, set up camp, then go fish. If I fish on the hike in or the hike out, I...

I'd rather hike than share the water with another fisherman. I'll hike however long it takes to get far out of sight from other people. Sometimes I don't have to hike at all and can fish near my...

I just finished reading this book. It is a very readable and entertaining book that really helps you connect with the history of bamboo.

Highly recommended.

I'm the guy on the right.

Brodin has a really nice rubber bag net they call the "ghost" The bag disappears in the water, so it makes for nice photographs of a netted fish. It's supposed to be less "spooky" for the fish as...

William Joseph's carbon fiber "Wave" net is the lightest weight net I know of.

I have one and like the light weight.

I googled Czech nymphs and found this:

I find that I am on one extreme or the other.

For quick trips, fishing near my car, or going ultralight on backpacking trips, I don't take a vest at all, and just rely on a fishing shirt with...

I really like my Winston Boron IIx

I'm all for improving fishing gear, but in this case, they've spent a lot of energy solving a problem that I don't really think is all that important. The extra $$$ and the additional complexity,...

I have a Winston Boron that was 600+.

My other two rods were quite a bit less.

I use Aquastealth. I've added a few studs (screw-in type) that have helped traction on slimy/mossy rocks. I've found that about 6 studs in each sole is about right.

I wade rocky streams, and...

I'm looking to consolidate some of my gadgets.

I currently carry a nippers and a hemostat. I'd like to only carry one gadget instead of two.

I would like to find a well made, quality tool...

Are you looking for one of the jackets that is designed to replace a fishing vest? (the kind with all the pockets, nipper retracter,etc) or are you looking for a jacket that you will wear underneath...

I live in Boulder

After fishing for about an hour today with my slinky leader, I took your advice and just tied on a fluoro tippet. Works much better. I've got 4 more of these fluoro leaders that I think are just...

I bought my first fluorocarbon leader not too long ago. Water levels around here are dropping, creeks are getting more shallow, fish are more easily spooked, and I figured that making my leader less...

I like my Ross Evolution reel.

It's light, beautifully made, and works flawlessly.

Thanks for the offer. I bought the book, and am hiring Mr. Streit be my guide while I'm in New Mexico. I think we are going to fish the Rio Grande

I may be taking a long road trip from Colorado down to the Texas Gulf Coast in late October.

I've got a number of choices on my driving route. I can drive South through Eastern New Mexico , or...

I'm looking for a book that has information on insects, and the flies that mimic these insects.

I don't tie flies, so I don't need information relating to fly tying techniques.

Idealy, the...

Well, I have three bamboos on order now. The 7 foot 3 weight from Joe Arguello due in 6 months; the Mike Clark South Creek rod due in 4-5 years; and I just ordered a 7 foot 10 inch 5 weight from...

Go fishing with Barry Bonds or Mark McGuire. The bugs will eat them up, and leave you alone. :D

Here's an interesting patent application relating to fly rod construction (primarily bamboo.)

It's one of the more interesting patents I've read (and I read patents for a living.)

I have a ruptured disc in my back.

I've found that lots of pull-ups is the best way to avoid back pain. Pull-ups seem to strengthen whatever muscles hold your lower back together.

So, my...
