I now understand how those Lahontan Cutthroats get so big. Very cool video.

I don't use indicators much, but I've had good luck with this: http://www.strikeindicator.com/
I have both, but sadly I tend to leave my 2-piece rods behind when I fly. Brian mentions Orvis' Far and Fine which is the sweetest dry fly rod I have. Interestingly, I just learned yesterday that...
Sold. Thanks all.
Hank
I got one from Wild Man, but it was for a website with goods "cheaper than on eBay."
Never used-NIB: Clear Intermediate Rocket Taper - WF5I. $30 shipped in CONUS.
This is a good line for distance and/or stillwater applications. PM me.
Scott,
That is helpful. Thanks. I have some Sally and will give it a try. It's definitely an easier clean up than epoxy.
Thanks all. I'm still fuzzy on how to form the body of a raghead crab. It looks like epoxy mixed with wool fibers, then shaped. Some I've seen appear to have a little flash mixed in. Anyone have...
I'm looking for a raghead crab recipe if anyone has one. Google brought me nothing.
Also, I'm trying to copy a crab fly I found that looks like a marabou/flash tail and rubber legs sandwiched...
You might check them for leaks if you haven't already. If you don't have a handy place to wade, put them on and sit in a bathtub for a few minutes. Pinhole leaks are easy to fix with AquaSeal. The...
Thanks, Striper, but a twelve will be a bit too much for the permit and smaller, winter tarpon we're fishing for.
Still looking for a 10 weight, particularly a quality 4 piece rod.
I found a good deal on a Sage rod and reel (Xi3 and 4210), so I'm now set. Thanks for your responses.
Moderators, please delete. If I can do it myself, tell me how.
Jerry, I got mine, too. I'm not sure what these extended body flies are supposed to replicate, but I wish I could tie one! Thanks, friend,
And, no, Royce. I'm his favorite.
I think some people have a natural ability to discern differences in quality better than others. Whether it's a gift of greater senses or an inherent or learned aptitude, I don't know. But, I have...
What he said.
I'm in, Jerry. Will send you a PM.
I read an article in the past couple of years (tried unsuccessfully to Google it) about how changes in tailwater releases on the Arkansas River in Colorado had a tremendous negative impact on the...
I recall 2 things when thinking of the San Juan: Big fish, small flies. It's mostly a midge fishery with plenty of bugs. The "San Juan Shuffle" is the act of "accidentally" dragging one's feet...
Warren,
I think we're talking about 2 different things. I was referring to an offense being taken because a newcomer broke some unwritten rule of this forum and then calling them out publicly for...
I consider myself to be a regular and I don't see it that way at all. Tacky? Good grief!
Where were cattle and sheep meant to be?
For goodness sake, hap, the guy has a British accent . Surely he's smarter than us, especially about occurrences in the United States. How many people could reach such broad conclusions on a very...
I fished the Owyhee in eastern Oregon a few years a go and it was excellent. Very nice quality browns. I thought it was a very scenic river...kind of arid like a high desert. I think it was about...
These are two excellent knots. I use a Palomar often in saltwater applications using larger hooks. I've found fewer freshwater fly uses because I find it harder to finish on the small hooks (small...
2 inch fish target me. I consider it a form of bullying. I'm a victim.
