Wayne, one other very strong piece of advice.

Do NOT, under any circumstances, let your wife catch you using her coffee grinder to blend dubbing. :)

Mem, my only question is: what will you do when the chain gets too short to plug the sink! :shock: :D

Joe, exactly what flies do you tie that require the table saw? :shock:

Welcome to the state. You're just in time for the fall run to heat up.

The state maintains a web database of shore access points that's very helpful in scouting locations, especially if you...

The best Rhode Island information I've seen can be found at Ken Abrams site, Striper Moon.

Tailingloop, what you're describing is a little different. Particulate in the water such as algae blocks all light and makes everything dimmer. Light passing through gin clear water starts slowly...

I'm an avid diver and an avid fisherman. I dive a lot deeper than I fish! Here's why that's relevant.

Yes, red is the first color in the spectrum to "disappear." It doesn't disappear at first, but...

Jed, glad to hear they're hitting on the Cape. Things are still slow here in the western LIS. Hoping that will change when the weather does. We've got TONS of bait in the water.

MM

DT vs WF is only one variable, and neither is 'better' than the other. Practice with what you fish with.

I would submit that a (not good the best) way to improve your casting is to use different...

I've been asking the same questions about the article, thank you all!

Has anyone had any experience with the "faux" furled leaders described in this month's American Angler?

I'll add a few things I've found about working with epoxy to the already excellent info in this thread.

1) a pad of post-it notes is an excellent disposable mixing pallet for small batches of...

Grubb, I've never fished the Chesapeake, so take this with a big grain of salt, but here on Long Island Sound during the dog days of summer the fishing is pretty much dead when the water is warm....

I think the key factors are the distance you are fishing at and where in the surf zone you are trying to play the fly.

If you are fishing the water close to you and are working the fly primarily...

I'd be worried about the rods sliding inside the tube and getting banged up. Padding at both ends and some non-skid material down the length would help.

As for a lock, a cable lock run through the...

A serious concern for sure.

I've asked this question before, but still haven't received a decent answer. Is there a way to disinfect gear in the field without dumping bleach or detergent all over...

I've never used the T3 trout rods, but own an 8wt fast action that is a wonderful rod for saltwater fishing. Nicely built and very light.

No complaints on my Orvis Mach V.

Somethings are just easy. :D[/quote]

I'm with Castwell. Sounds like you get to pick out a new rod for you. :D

Just buy something different than what you already have. That way if she gets...

Bamboozle, that is wonderful. I am proud to be your apprentice. I will report back when my rod collection grows to a dozen-- currently at 5, but we're doing a remodel that will require lots of carpet...

It's kind of funny-- she's normally not a squeamish girl. She's cleaned fish and even butchered deer. Rabbits, apparently, are where she draws the line!

I like the idea of cutting the mask into...

I'm a beginner fly tyer in every sense of the word. In some ways I've gone about it backwards-- because I mostly fish salt water, I started with salt water flies, which may make me the one of the few...

I love that podcast! For some my iTunes didn't pick up an episode from October until the one released two weeks ago. I was going through withdrawal!

When you're in bear country, it's very important to know what kind of bear you may be dealing with. The best way to tell is from the bear scat.

If the scat contains berries and roughage, it is...

Great, thank you Tim.
