I miss the old days of FAOL. I miss Ladyfisher. I even miss J.C. as cantankerous as he was. I truly miss fly fishing, but more than that I cherish the many friends I've made here at FOAL, and all the...

You can get great enjoyment out of catching a fish on a rod that you built, or a leader that you furled, or a fly that you tied. But there is no greater joy than watching a kid you taught to fish,...

Good grief. STILL?

It's nice to see Harvey again. Here's hoping your new year is filled with peace, happiness, love and tight lines.

I've never fished a tandem rig. It's' hard enough for me to keep one fly where it belongs. Line to leader = Blood Knot. Leader to tippet= Perfection Loop. Tippet to fly = Improved Clinch.

It looks like, of all people, Harbor Freight has a box that might work well as a travelling fly tying box. Here's a link if you think it might work for you. ...

Sadly, I no longer fish, but the memories of fishing remains. Over all those years, the memories of the fish I've caught pales in comparison the memories of the friends I've made. Thank you Fishing....

Didn't the old fashion guide wrapping thread use to be called Jasper? Or was what they're now calling variegated thread called something else?

See what I mean? It's only been 2 years and this thread has stopped again.

Sad news indeed. Rest in Peace

You take care Betty. You are family to all of us.

I getting along Steve. I can't fish anymore so I've taken up photography. It works for me.

For those of us who have friends in California, we might want to check in on them. Serious flooding is wreaking havoc on lots of folks.

Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season to all.

A particular spot on the St. Joe River, Idaho. 110 miles from my driveway.

The 2022 Idaho Fish-In officially started today, and will last until next Saturday. I'll be heading that way on Tuesday. I plan on fishing only a short while, then spending the next 2 days taking...

I just received word that Gnu-Bee Flyer (aka Roger Murray) passed away on June 16th from a heart attack. He was an original and a friend to all. I for one will miss him.

Hey Ron. I didn't go but the way I understand it is that the water was extremely low. The "Sippy Hole" (aka Carp Corner) was almost completely dried up. They got skunked.

She was the driving force that brought a multitude of people together for a common cause; Fly Fishing. Loved and not forgotten.

That would be cool. :)

I just picked up a Headwaters 7' 9"- 2 piece- 5 weight bamboo rod. For all my fly fishing life I've been a dyed in the wool weight forward fly line kind of person. Now I'm wondering if maybe a double...

Thank you to you all.

I'm glad to see that you had a chance to get out Rick.

Z, What dates are planned?
Asking for a friend.

Thanks Jim. You give me far too much credit.
