Hi All. My first salt water rod was a 1994 Orvis SaltRodder 909, a 9' 2 piece 9wt. I really liked that rod, but decided to "graduate" to a Sage RPLX. After years with the Sage, I think I preferred...

The one thing always missing from tales of cougars in the northeast is a photo. Your friend shot a cougar in PA - surely he took a photo to prove that he did in fact shoot a cougar. Without a...

Hi all. My wife and I picked up a recreational kayak for paddling around cape cod and the CT shore of long island sound (norwalk area). It is a 10' sit in kayak, so not the ideal fishing boat, but...

Guys, thanks for the thoughts.

Hi all. I am heading to the Outer Banks (Ocracoke) with the family mid-August. Are there any fly fishing opportunities there at that time of year? What can I expect? Any tips/guidance/advise...

Thanks! You triggered my memory, and the flies tied last night looked pretty good. Well, hopefully good enough for Steel! Keep the photo essays coming -- they are a treat!

Jim, I was in your shop last fall on a rainy day (lots of them last fall) and you gave me a demo for tying the hair ball. Great demo, but the lesson apparently didn't stick based upon my attempts to...

Well, there are no hackles to crush if you don't tie hackled flies. I have switched almost exclusively to comparaduns/emergers, cdc duns/emergers and parachutes. The C&D slit foam is perfect...

Thanks for the ideas, BDC. I live in northern New Jersey. If anyone known of any kind on "bamboo gathering" or other ideas for casting some bamboo in NNJ, I would appreciate the heads-up.

Thanks all for the tips/names given so far -- keep 'em coming if you haven't chimed in. I love reading about some of these makers on their web sites.

Another question for choosing a maker, and I...

Hello all, this is the first post of a lurker. So, I am bitten by the bug and want to upgrade from an old mediocre Mantague bamboo to a nice new bamboo rod. Budget is $1,000 or less. I have seen...
