thanks for all your responses. i'm contacting the game and fish department to see if they'll be interested in looking at the ponds.

Hi folks,

I thought I would ask for some opinions here. A new neighborhood near my house includes two small lakes, which will not be stocked with fish by the developer. I've heard that fish will...

Hi,

This weekend I'll be making my first trip up to trout country in about 2 years. Here on the Gulf Coast, I mainly fish saltwater and warmwater. Anyway, it's been awhile since I've fished CW and...

Top 5:

1. Poppers & hair bugs
2. Clouser, chart/wht, size 4
3. Black or olive size 6 Wolly Bugger w/ bead head
4. Bead head squirm worm - check out the patterns on www.laflyfish.com for pics...

I grew up in Houma, near Point Au Chien. You more than likely be tangling with reds up to 30" - which will easily murder your 5wt. I don't think I could even turn a small red (<20") with my 5wt. You...

Agree 100%. I used to fish the jetties at Ocean City, MD when I lived up there, and I did quite well. I liked to fish the inlet, where tons of water and bait move through. I also did better at night,...

Well done. 3 pounds?

I'm in South Louisiana, and our speck fishing just turned on last week. Hoping for a few of those myself.

Good for you, Jeff. Your son will get a lifetime of enjoyment from the sport. The best thing about flyfishing, or at least one of them, is that it can be so cheap once you get all the basic stuff -...

The rig rocks, congrats. I lived in STL for a while, so I'm familiar with Blue Springs. I used to love going out the the A-B Ponds at Weldon Springs to wear out the bream with the fly rod. I...

I worked in DE for about 2 years near Rehoboth. There are good striper runs off the beach at Lewes and Slaughter Beach, DE. I caught a lot more weakfish and blues than I did stripers, but...

Mr. RW...whoever you are...would you consider posting your variant pattern?

I've been playing with some craft foam in an attempt to make a lower-profile bream bug that still looks really "buggy"...

I had a pretty bad day casting in the wind at a local lake yesterday, and as a result I decorated several bushes with my poppers and jitterbees. I found myself re-rigging at dusk, when I should have...

My favorite fly fishing quote of all time:

"God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling" - Isaak Walton, 1693.

That pretty much says it all. My 2nd most favorite...

Awesome pic...that thing is scary!

What size hook is that? Now if you could just rig a treble hook onto the back....

For what its worth,

I have caught them on white clousers and squirm worm patterns. I heard a presentation from a Lady who was from Missouri last year at our club's conclave. She was a catfish...

Does anyone know if you have to use a "dry" fly hook for deer hair bugs? I tied my first Dahlberg Diver (if you want to call it that)last night, and I used a stainless steel hook because I was told...

I am about to build my first rod. I want to put together a 6 or 7 wt that it 8.5 or 9.0 feet long. Preferably, I'd liket the rod to break down to 3 or 4 pieces.

Can ya'll recommend a few good rod...

One fall I was fishing here in South Louisiana in some deep moving water for sac-a-lait (crappie) with a #10 fluff butt. The salt water had moved up considerably into the fresh water marsh, and I...

I love to throw big ugly bugs on top with hare's ear nymph droppers. HE's are VERY buggy. The brimskis love 'em.

I'm down south too. The best thing about fall here is that the water gets very lonely b/c everyone hunts but me....and also that the heat index drops below 100.

This is our driest time of year and...

I'd go with a 2/0 bead head woolly bugger. Of course, the mouse does sound like it could be a chick magnet. Leave 'em unclipped and hairy. And for heavens sake you gotta get a flyrod in his hand....

I bought some saddle hackles, chenile, and marabou from BPS a few years ago. I was really disappointed with the quality of the materials, especially the hackles. But, as others have said, local shops...

otter's rule is that if I can fillet 'em, I can fry 'em. My beloved late Grandmother's rule was a little more......liberal I guess. I can still here her saying "If he's big enough to bite the hook,...

I have thrown size 2 woolies with my 4wt...but the impact rivals that of a meteor. Make sure you use a heavier tippet with the really big stuff, and you may find it beneficial to shorten your leader...
