Joe,

Childish. It's obvious why you get banned from sites - OMC

Joe,

When I started I purchased this set. I was discouraged that I could not cast. The rod was ok. It was the flyline. I am not an elitist. Elitist's don't buy $20 line. Your statements are...

You have obviously never watched JC cast the Wally World combo (Scientific Angler Combo). If you had, you would retract your last sentence. Actually, it's more likely the discouragement will come...

I would also suggest not getting the vest. Take the $20 and buy some better line for the flyrod. The wally world flyline would likely discourage the user.

Here's a link to an article on MSNBC. Scary stuff.

Rusty,

Your son should not be concerned about his manhood on this one. He is being smart. If any snake, poisionous or not, got within a few feet of me in the water, I definitely would be...

I have seen a banded type water snake in the Hiwassee. They do stock the Hiwassee, and there are many larger holdovers. Congratulations to your son.

I don't know which is strongest, but I have discovered that the duncan loop works best for me on tippet loop knots. After some practice, I have become comfortable with this knot.

"How did you find faol"

I find it very informative and interesting, thanks for asking. :lol:

Actually, I came here on a seach mission for flyfishing information. I found the archives to be...

Perception is often the problem. You may be perceived as a snob simply because of your appearance. Wearing waders, vest, wading boots, and net is enough to make you appear a snob to those that do...

I too have trouble getting the tippet through the eye of the hook. You may want to also consider threader boxes. C&F makes a very good one, works for me.

Here's a link to information about the ones in my area streams. I researched after seeing one in the river. It was very BIG (maybe 2 ft long)!

According to the information on the link, it...

Couple of comments.

The oil companies are benefitting from the increase in price (not simply passing along). Otherwise, they all would not be reporting exceedingly high record earnings (just...

Sometimes they just shake loose. I have noticed I lose more on smaller hooks.

Thanks to all who responded. I appreciate your comments.

I like this reply from dudley.

For me, it just being there with small things on my mind. Its nice to think about small things for a change. Things like: Reading the water, watching fish,...

For those of you who carry bear spray:

The container is about 2" by 9".


Do you wear the holster?

Does the holster carry well on a wader belt?

Thinking about purchasing, want to know the...

I have discovered that the duncan loop works well for me on the smaller stuff. After some practice, I have become comfortable with this knot.

I use the rose creek net release ($9.99). I put the net release on the D ring in back, and attach the net upside down. Putting the net upside down makes it easy to reach the net handle when landing...

Thanks Lew,

I have tried the duncan loop, but it is hard for me to tie. Perhaps more practice.

Thank you for your replies. I will try the non slip mono loop.

Any other suggestions for an open loop knot for nymphs? I have used a pitzen, but cannot get the loop to reopen after catching a fish or snagging stream obstacles. Would like one that can be...

Anyone use this knot for fly to tippet? I am looking for an easy to tie open loop for nymphs. If you are aware of any internet sites that show how this knot is tied, I would like to know.

Thanks

The salesman should order one for you. I would shop elsewhere.

I also prefer two piece rods. I do not fly to fish, a two piece fits nicely in my truck, and it is easier to...

The one thing that has helped me most is confidence. You have to believe you will catch fish, and confidence mostly comes from catching fish (seemingly a conundrum). Confidence has helped me catch...
