I've been keeping trout fishing journals for over thirty years now. In '78 and '79 I just logged how many trout I caught from what waters. From '80 to today I have every day I fished for trout...

1) Orvis Tippet 7.5', 3 wt, 2 pc. I just used it today.

2) Orvis Far 'n Fine 7'9", 5 wt, 2 pc. This rod is an absolute legend. I wonder if it could be the best selling fly rod ever?

Yeah, I used that vest all last year. It's a great vest and I'm happy with it. It's not short enough for deep wading, so I did pick up a minimalist shorty for the few larger rivers I sometimes fish....

This seems to be a credible eyewitness account. Have you ever heard of such a thing?

I fish alone all the time.
If it's a larger fish, I keep it in the water and take a quick pic like this-

If it's a little guy, I hold it in...

Didymo has been recently confirmed in the Upper Delaware System. But an article says it was seen there in 1916. It may not thrive and become a major problem everywhere it's found. I hope not. There...

I flyfish for trout 90 to 120 times a year. I fished yesterday, today, and I'll go tomorrow. That'll make it 72 days this season. Since 1980 I've recorded 2,080 days of trout fishin' in my log books....

The pool where I get the refusal is shown in the scene right before that one. I shot the pool from down below, then snuck around to the right side, set up my cam and hit the record button. I went...

I put together some video clips of small streams I've been fishin' in the Poconos, Catskills, and Endless Mountains. This vid is 1:40 and 24.7 MB....

I always have a camera ready. Lots of cool stuff out there to see.

I've been using the bowline knot with all sizes of leader and tippet for decades.
It's quick and easy to tie and it's never let me down. It will not slip or back out....

Just to follow up on my previous post, you can make the loop in the bowline knot as small or large as you want. And as I said it will not slip. The tighter you pull, the tighter the knot gets, with...

This loop knot should satisfy all the requirements you mention. I've been using the bowline knot for decades. It's a nautical knot, but works great with mono and it will not slip or back out. It...

Take a pro-active approach to the heel problem. Apply patches before you see any trouble, even when they're new before you wear them at all. Use contact cement or an equivalent with material from all...

Thanks Jerry, that's good news. I love it when I can do business with PA vendors.

Jerry, I bought a bottle of Zip Cast last summer and loved it. Used it up and ordered another bottle from the manufacturer. I only recieved the empty shipping tube with the ends and product missing...

I think you're gonna have a lotta fun with that camera. I messed around with a waterproof APS film camera a couple years back.
It does take a lotta luck. It took me a long while to get the hang of...

I was fishin' up that way on Wednesday and took these photos.

I'm from Dunmore, PA, USA and I've lived in Lackawanna Co. all my life. I consider northeast PA the greatest place on Earth and I'll never leave this region. The year 'round trout fishing...
