I've fished Benett many times; I've had success with all kinds of patterns, but I wouldn't go without a handful of brown / copper zebra midges. A fun way to fish them is to drop them off an...

I will be fishing the Los Pinos River in Durango, Colorado. (I believe the locals call it the Pine) I have never fished there before, and I was wondering if any of you guys on this board had ideas or...

I have been flyfishing for about 6 years now (the last 2 years a lot more than the 1st 4), and I've mainly used nymphs. I really enjoy fishing with nymphs and I've had good success with them. Plus,...

I have a Wii and I like it a lot; that being said, I'd much rather go outside and flyfish than sit inside and pretend to go flyfishing.

Never have I spent better money than on the Simms Travel Waders. They are very comfortable, pretty durable, dry in like 3 minutes, fold up into a little bag that you can reaslitically put in your...

Everybody thanks for the great replies. I might have to try some Biostrike or the Orvis stuff. That sounds like it would work pretty well.

Hey, it's been awhile since I've been here; being a full time student has its drawbacks.

I went fishing the other day and noticed I was running low on strike indicators. I only use the...

I too agree.

I have never built a rod, but was thinking about delving into it. I too wondered this question.

JC, so you're saying that it should be clipped as close to flush as possible? Please clarify.
I am starting to use this knot, and I was wondering if I should place a drop of super glue on the tip...

I too had your exact same problem with my 7' 4wt. The Castwell knot helps immensely. It snakes through the guides like a charm and is ridiculiously simple to tie.

I was serious; I'm not making fun of you at all.

This board rocks.

Hey, Avalon, you learn something new everyday. Thanks for the heads-up. Now I can stop acting like a moron by telling people I have 8x line, when I really don't. Again, thanks.

Mine isn't exactly a streamside innovation, but it was created because of a streamside problem. One morning, my fishing buddy, after tying on a tandem rig with two flies, discovered that he forgot to...

This is slightly off topic, but I use 7x P-line Floroclear.
It's a mix of Copolymer and Flourocarbon.
I believe the diameter is .0052 in.
This stuff is strong, it resists those "curlies" that I...

I'm not going to weigh in on the rod/reel choices here. However, if you don't want to spend the money on a vest right away, you could make a lanyard. They are lightweight, cheap (mine cost less than...

Hey, JeffHamm, thanks for the great post. It was fun reading it.

It would seem to me to be #1.

Yup, you have to be careful with that water! http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif

If you patch it but don't fix the leak, the you can find exactly where the leak is by turning the waders inside-out and filling them up with water. Then your leak will be very evident. This treatment...

No offense Mr. Castwell, but I have, in fact, printed off those very instructions and taught a complete novice. http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif She did very well and could get out about...

I noticed in your picture that you have the book "Trout Flies." I received that same book for Christmas last year; 'tis a good book.

I agree. I have used Traditional Angler a few times now, and they always provide a great product with great service.

I use mini-jigs, as we call them, at Bennett Springs quite a lot. (sizes 1/80, 1/100, or 1/120)
What do you use to paint the heads? I have found that jig head paint, after a day or two of...
