Brian Congrats on winning the beautiful boo and thanks for sharing your visit with Bob.. Bob I wish you a successful surgery and speedy recovery! The rods are beautful..
I've got back problems and can only sit for for about an hour before I'm hurting bad. I started tying on a spare bed and using a small tray that sits over my body and a clamp on vice. My head and...
Brandon, I catch quite a few channels during the day on a very simple b.h. damsel pattern. gold bead, sz 10-12 2x long hook. tail olive marabou, rib-gold wire, wrap the marabou to form the body,...
Some good info already given. The water temps around here will get too warm for are northern strain of bass during the later hours of the hot summer days. When that happens, then fishing in the early...
According to the KS Wildlife and Parks there are no white bass in the Carbondale lake and they do stock it with wipers. They're pretty accurate about knowing what fish are in what waters. Got to...
Joe not sure how to get ahold of you so i'll try this. First off I enjoy your warm water articles and on the most recent one you asked if that was a wiper. I'm certainly no expert but I'd say it...
Our fish and game stocked some of them in a lake about 50 miles from me. I only get to fish the lake a few times a year and haven't caught any of them yet. Did talk to a guy that had caught one out...
Brad, sounds like you had a great time fishing on your pond. You're right about those subtle takes. Got to wonder how many times fish take and spit out our flies with us being none the wiser. I spent...
Hopefully being able to get out and do some fishing will help rid you of the crud. I know it does wonders for the shack nasties. Glad to hear you caught some fish. Carp are a heck of a good fight...
Ive got a very nice 7 1/2' 2pc rod in next to new condition for sale on the *things for sale" section of this site. Low price and great for small streams. Check it out if you like.

I had a friend pick me up a pack of the peacock ice dub and like the way it looks. Anxious to see how it works on the water.
Thanks for tips, advice and links guys. Usually I'll just buy what I need in black but occassionally you have a material you just cant find in black. Since I already have the Rit dye lm in the...
Thanks for the info and I do use white vinegar. Also know about A.K.'s book. Maybe more vinegar and time will help. Black seems to be about the only color I havent been able to dye, of those Ive...
Ive tried using liquid Rit dye but the black always seems to leave a purple tint to whatever Im dyeing. Just wondering what others use to get a good black color?. Thanks
Welcome Joni,
Fishin and rock n rollin, sounds like a winner to me. Youve obviously got lots of fishing knowlege, etc. and Ive enjoyed your posts. I just took the plunge myself and joined a few...

Randy, welcome to the board. Here's the link for Hook and Hackle. www.hookhack.com[/url:a656f] Theyve got some nice starter kits that shouldnt break the bank.Don't forget to ask for the 20%...
Anthony, dont feel bad. Alot of us were in your situation when we started. As Chris stated, hold the rod and line in one hand and strip with the other. Easy to do once you get the hang of it.
If...

Goddess, how do you like the Glide and who sells it? Thanks
Like some others have said, I like to use a rod for the conditions I'm fishing. I can land fairly large trout quickly enough on a 4 wt when light leaders and small flies are needed. If I'm tossing...
Thanks all for the warm welcome. Lew I tried to edit my spelling but didnt see a way to redo the headline without deleting it. Maybe I missed something. Ol blue, thanks for the invite, Topeka area...
Thanks 8t, I appreciate the welcome. Youre right there is a lot of good people here and lots of good info. I see that I mispelled lurker in the heading line, shows that my typing sucks. Oh well,...
Ive been lurking here for awhile and enjoying the board. Figured I'd put on my chest waders and jump in. Grew up in CO and started fly fishing in my teens, loved fishing the streams and rivers in...
