I think that like anything else it depends on the person. There are great fishermen and women on the river that encourage newcomers and give pointers. I met a wonderful man on the river who makes...

Thanks for the info! I've never done the "bleed the gills" method but it makes a lot of sense. I hate to see the fish suffer and this sounds better than my attempts to knock the fish out before...

Sorry I missed you this trip. Did you stay at Peales and how was the fishing? The river was way up by the time I got home today. I hope you had a great trip!

Great responses - I've got to get a dog! I do love to fish but sometimes..... there's nothing like hot-tubbing and a salt glow! I already have our future planned out. When the boys are old enough...

If any of you have trouble getting away for fishing trips because your wife doesn't want to go or doesn't want you to go - I have your solution! I just got back from a girl-trip to a great spa in...

I was just thinking about this place today. We went pre-children and had such a great time. You have to take logging roads to even get to it. All of the cabins are hand-built by the owners and...

As requested here is the photo of our friend getting a hook dug out of his neck. Fishing is a contact sport!

Oh man that sounds so painful! Reminds me of tying a string around a tooth and a doorknob and slaming the door!

That's a riot. I can see that happening pretty easily with the flies. There are some amazing kids out there - fully geared up and fishing like pros. Those fish just laze around eating out of the...

We'll get out more often now that the generators are slowing down a bit. The boys are still a little young to go out in a boat when the river is fast so we mainly fish from the bank when the waters...

Thanks for the welcome! I'll try very hard to dig up a photo - I think they are on the other computer somewhere. The main problem was that hook hadn't come out the other side but the barb was in...

We have a group of very green flyfishing couples. We're all about the fun - fish are a bonus. Anyway, I was fishing with one of these guys and his casting is just horrific. I've actually seen him...

Does Make-a-wish do fly fishing trips? You know - we could host a family. We have tons of room. If that ever comes up again let me know.

The one and only! The first time we went I didn't realize what was in there. The boys had Tweety Bird poles and we were just messing around. We caught this enormous rainbow which broke the line...

He can cast a spinner but he's not too good with a fly rod. We pretty much get it out there and help him do the rest. He can reel them in on his own - he knows to keep the tip up and go slowly. I...

I think that depends on where you were at the beginning. If you entered your wife's life and your current job this way and they are now intolerant - that's one thing. If you took up fly fishing and...

This is my favorite....

That's really wonderful of you. When I'm out on the river with the boys they can get a little loud and excited and have been known to throw a rock or two. We're trying to teach them to appreciate...

Great! It worked - I got it a lot smaller. Thanks for the kind posts. The metal stringer on his vest is one of the lesser future embarassing moments I have set up for him. Hopefully they'll...

You'll either see a bunch of text or a nice photo of my family. That's me and my...

Wish I could meet you -I'll be out of town. You can see my house though. Stand in the catch-and-release waters of the Norfork between the handicap access and the twin islands - look across the...

I have it right here - Peals 870-499-5215
9582 Hwy 5 Mountain Home. This place is a mile or two from the Y convenience store and gas station at Salesville. It will put you on the White and...

If you want cheap and close to the rivers - not on them - try Peals. The same guy rents out some nice A-frames on the Norfork just before it joins the White. But....cheap...go with Peals. They are...

I have been looking into the home swap organizations. If you're not familiar with these - you basically trade homes for vacation. I thought I would see if I got any interest from this board. We...
