Gandolf, As a man that has lived in Minnesota all his life and can trace his lineage back to Viking blood on the Eastern side of Norway I should and do know a little bit about pickling fish and...

I have a posting under fly tying if your interested.

I posted this under fly tying if you would like to check it out.

Hi, I have a fly tying desk that I would love to get rid of. It's nothing special but it sure is a lot better than sitting at the kitchen table and keeping your stuff in boxes in the closet. It has...

I think most of the things that we fish for carp with are scent oriented materials. You aren't going to get much scent out of a fly, but it is something that you may want to experiment with. I...

Rodger, Let me tell you a little about my experience with lead. Your goal is to get the fly down and down fast. It's very easy to do it to fast and have the thing dragging on the bottom. There is...

rawfish, I,like Donald,also had to read this question a few times to get where I think your going with this. I'm assuming that you are looking for a variety of say Mustad 94840 sizes 22 to 10 about...

DG I have to admit that I'm not to up on the latest for the out west population but why would anyone what to paint a buffalo and how come you know so much about it?

I don't remember ever using...

Would be nice to see more of the box. Wooden flyboxes are a thing of beauty.

Mark, I remember starting out in flytying and your absolutely right on. It was very confusing. The directions would ask for a hook that you couldn't find or a feather that wasn't available. The...

I really got the feeling from Al that he was a huge supporter of Rain-X. Just the same he would have loved this conversation and definitely put in his two cents. Thanks for the info on this. It...

Ray you nailed it very well. I find myself fishing in western WI or southern MN on some very small streams. I sure many of us have been in the situation where the distance the fish are from you is...

duckster, try this.
Put about 40 feet of line out in front of you.
Pull with the left hand while you lift the rod.(single haul)
move your thumb and forefinger with the line between them up to the...

Mark, If you would like to trade some red squirrel for some pheasant tail let me know by private post. OK? Thanks Craig

Would someone please tell me whether or not all the snow melts off of Mt. Hood in the summer? thanks

You are a hoot!!!

Now on this same topic. I have a real struggle with using tippet smaller than a 5. 7 or 8 tippet is very difficult for me to not break it off when the fish hits it. I have noticed that with a...

I would be happy to vouch for Jerry's cast abilities. His character on the other hand I may have to think about.... ;-) As we say up in Minnesota. You could do a lot worse, ya know. I would...

Jack, you obviously don't have a fly tying surface that you use regularly now. Get something that you think will "fill the bill". It doesn't have to be a perfect fit (it never would be anyway) but...

Let me offer just a little bit of help here. You are right on about the seam and the down and across thing. Now how about tying on a nymph, casting it down and across and into the seam? Or 3/4...

As one old bald guy to another let me say this about that. Bring a GPS. If you get off the road or go out on a lake you can get seriously lost. This is a spot on the globe where you could walk for...

Hi, I am thinking about taking the train out to Montana and spending a week or so. It stops in Havre,Shelby and Cut Bank. Does anyone that hangs out here know anything about those towns? Can you...

Jack, I had no less than a wonderful time. That dinner on Friday nite was totally heartburn but it sure was good. I don't think that I could really give you a frank answer to this question on a...
