I use a rod leash (call it a dummy cord in the Army) but I modify mine. The original one has a velcro strip that you attach to rod seat. The velcro is to thick and interfers with casting , so I...

Orion,
I live in Austin as well. I like the Town Lake area around Shoal Creek. Have you tried there? I find that the bass love the Clouser there and the Panfish like small wet flies. If you haven't...
Hey Orion,

Hey All,
Just wanted to say thank you for your suport!!! I was in Iraq 2003-2004 at the start of OIF(operation Iraqi Freedom), and one of the hard things to come home to was watching the TV news...
Hey Gigmaster,
Cool use of velcro!!! I have a similar device I use on my inflatable. It is a lenght of elastic that has a slide closer made into a loop. All you do is loop it around the object and...
Hey all,
An interesting angle on this debate is a stable of In-Fisherman magazine, that is called Selective Harvest. I beleive the concept is to keep only small to medium sized fish and release big...
Overreved,
Your son is doing a great thing, and is in all our hearts. I know how it is over there cause I was there not to long ago(Iraq). He will have the best people in the world by his side, and...

:) Hey shortleader,
This area of the forum is open to all paddlecraft folk, reguardless of the type of craft. Inflatable pontoons are as welcome as inflatable kayaks. We can all learn from each...
Hey hoboflyfisher,
You should check out the action an hour down the road in Austin. :wink: The area of town lake is doing okay even though it is a little low. I am one of the only flyfishers I know...
I find that having the rod behind is best and I set the drag to the lightest setting so it works like an alarm. If you hear the click grab the rod.

Flymaker 2,
Here is an idea so your can mount a spare rod holder for your other rod, instead of lashing it to your deck.

I find the rod leash invaluable. I lost a nice rod out of a boat when I was 15 and ever since then have had a rod leash when in a boat(31 now). I was letting my flyline trail behind the canoe while I...
Hey all,
Thanks for all the great info. I hadn't even seen the Hawkeye model, but it looks like a better fit than the Hummingbird(less parts). The old saying in the ARMY is that the only piece of...
Hey Guys,
Is nobody watching the original series on FX like Recue Me and Nip Tuck. These are great shows but not intended for children. They have a bit more lacks rules about cussing and sex but the...

Hey All,
I had a question I posted before but no one could help me or didn't see the post. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the Humingbird Smartcast Fishfinder System. I don't...
Yeah I think it was FT Riley. Thanks for helping me remember.
Shhh!!!
I'm going to tell you all about one the best kept secretes in fishing. Most military post have some body of water on them that is an untapped resource. I am speaking strictly from the ARMY...
Hey All,
I came accross a method for devising a break away anchor system to prevent the possiblity of being stuck in an undisirable situtation. The system was simple. If you have a folding anchor,...
I use a super simple system. It takes a little longer to set up so it is not for sight fishing. All I have is a foldable anchor and rope that I attach to a carabeaner(hope I spelled that right). I...
:) Hey Budd,
The Scotty Rod Holder is great!! I got mine from a store that starts with a "C" and ends with "abelas".(Just kidding since they are not a sponser LOL). They have this repackaging...
