I think your method has a good chance of hooking the fish.

But it would be difficult to land the fish from the upstream side. There are sunken branches on both sides and one above the fish as you...

Second Question - Where would you cast the fly?

I went fishing today, and it rained on me but there were a lot of brown drakes out and the fish were rising. The best fish was rising at the arrow. Water is flowing left to right. Location is...

Jesse,

I am aware of this product but I am not aware of it being used to treat flies or fly lines.

Ralph Cutter and I had an email discussion of nanotechnology for superhydrophobic...

Regarding felt soles vs rubber soles. Rubber soles are not as good as felt soles. Several independent tests by magazines, blogs and individuals are available.

Boot makers want you to think that...

I think you are correct. The point being made is that dydimo is already endemic and pervasive in North America. Dydimo has already spread and banning felt is not a solution to preventing further...

Because the current AA article is not available on line.

Max Bothwell, a research scientist for Environment Canada, who wrote an influential article that linked angler's felt soled boots to dydimo spread has now reversed himself and said that anglers are...

They are great rod holders.

I hope Homeland Security has a sense of humor!

Byron,

If I am undertanding you, you have a rod case for the rod but want a better suitcase to put the rod in.

I have a rollind duffle bag that is has wheels and a solid bottom but the rest of...

Regarding hot spotting, look at the photo below from a blog. It was one of the largest trout taken in this river in 2007.

I don't know about the indicator part, but I think Daniel's line loop refers to line sag from the rod tip to the point at which the line enters the water. There is NO floating indicator as you think...

Here's my opinion on rod action, casting, and nymphing.

First of all loop size is not related to whether a rod is slow or fast. There is nothing inherent about a slow or fast rod that prevent a...

I also prefer a fast action rod for nymphing.

The stiffer the fly rod, the faster the tip reacts to a hook set. The stiffer the fly rod, the easier it is to mend fly line and the more accurately...

High speed 500 fps and 200 fps filming of 3 elite caster including Jason Borger showed that maximum tip speed was about 53 mph when casting 10 meters of fly line plus leader using 9 ft 5 wt fly rods....

I have found a replacement for Hareline Scudback that is identical to the original. Here are photos of the 1/4" and 1/8 " clear Hareline Scudback.

Mr. Juracek told me he did not see the fly dragging either with the 5X tippet so he used the 6Xr tippet to correct for the drag.

Think of all the specialty casts and mends there are. The reach...

I Pm'd the SEFF board owner. They are on to it now.

Micro drag is invisible to us because of the fishing conditions at that time. It is not invisible to the fish.

Fish strike a fly for various reasons. The two major types of feeding are...

Still water is a different situation. The fish has a long time to inspect the fly from very close up with essentially no energy expenditure for additional time spent. Nor does the fish have to...
