Great article about getting off of your duff and kids doing the same. I know arguements actually occur in families about letting kids play on computers, the internet and etc. or not letting them. I...

Sir,
You have a private message re: a rod.
thanks,

I have had the same camera for 2 years. I've used it fishing, hunting, while raining, snowing, at the water slide park taking movies while going down the slide and hitting the water and under water,...

I asked for some advice on fly lines a while back here on the site and several folks suggested the Rio Lines for various applications. I ended up buying the Rio Grand WF for my 6 weight and love it....

I just spoke with a friend of mine who called a fisheries biologist from that area. This is the email that I got back from him.
"I spoke with my buddy who lives about 5 miles from upper Fall River...

Go to this site and read the article. It's a good place to start.

One way to tell is to burn a little of the end of the line. Burn the end....if it melts and balls up like nylon, that's what it is. If it smells kind of like burning hair and the ash that is made is...

Yeah, I knew that we weren't out of the woods yet for snow and have a good chance to get more right up until May and even then some. I've seen it happen. :o) Unfortunately, I haven't run out of...

In general, for a 4 weight bamboo....7ft. Tea Stick (thank you Joni), would you prefer a DT or a WF and why? I know that a DT can roll cast a little better and that a WF will shoot more line but what...

Wow and Yee Haw Indeed!
I appreciate the comments about the SPONSORED lines. :o) I have heard nice things about them too. I have used the GPX, which as was stated, is about a half line weight...

Would you please give me your opinion of any Rio fly lines, if possible specifically the Rio Grand (I feel like I'm talking about a river in Texas, yeehaw) or other trout lines? Any info would be...

The 2 flies that JC talked about for silvers are really good, especially if the silvers are "in the mood" and want to hit top water on the pink wog. What a hoot.
Also, go to www.akflyfishers.com and...

Brian,
I am alive and well. Check a PM that I just sent you.
Happy Trails,

NBink,
I just got off of the phone with fish and game in Nome. You want to talk to Scott Kent, but he will not return to the office until next week some time as he is in Anchorage. The phone number...

And there are no state taxes in Alaska! Some burroughs will have them but not many. I am sorry you got scammed by someone from outside pretending to be a guide up here. I do hope you come back again...

Just something to think about, especially if you are moving here (Alaska). Many people do use small pontoon boats, just like "outside" but many more go for either regular river rafts or the bigger...

Tim,
You have a PM re: Situk flies.

I have floated the Tal before. It is a very nice float but water conditions can be iffy depending on when you float it. The last time I floated it we caught rainbows, dollies, grayling, silvers,...

dleo,
Thanks so much for your information and opinion. I really appreciate it a lot. I will take it into consideration before I buy. If the casting is pretty similar then I will probably go with the...

dleo,
Wow! :D Thanks for all of that.....very informative. One more question though. I have read info on a couple of bamboo rod sites that they are selling a "4" weight that is based on a Garrison...

Is there anyone out there that can tell me the difference between these two tapers? If possible, can you tell me whether one is slower than the other, etc.? Any information at all would be...

My wife is Aleut from the Pribilof Islands and Russian Orthodox. We too leave the tree up until after Orthodox Christmas. We celebrate both Christmas'.....twice as fun that way. We take it down after...
