Just try to relate fish to other animals such as a horse which only eats grass and grain and they grow so large. Makes sense to me...........

From one Northerner to another, you will never get use to the heat and tornados.
Buzz, has it finally ended?
To me Gander Mountain is like all other outdoor stores only on a smaller scale.
They are into hunting and camping more than fishing. While in Missouri I ordered a lot of equip from them due to...
My question has been answered by HCMILLER & BETTY. Thanks ever so much!
Now that proves this forum is the best.
I didn't get what I was looking for but I went to the webb & sent out some questionairs to manufactures and outfitters. I received a chart from a Colorado Outfitter that shows different flies and...
Betty, No he couldn't copy it. It was way to large and it was encased in hard plastic. Being as you live close you may have seen it in the back to the right on top of a display. If not, look...
I'm interested as I already have reservations for 4th week of October.
I was trying to fit in the Tenn gathering but this is easier for me.
I was at Cabela's yesterday and saw a real good chart of hooks giving sizes all the way into the 20's and different types of hooks also. The trouble was that it is not for sale. The Manager of the...
Does anyone know where I can get a chart showing the actual size of
the different hook sizes for trout fishing?
I need to learn the sizes, as for now I can't tell the difference between
a size...
I was on a duckhunting forum and decided to look at the fishing area. I looked at crappie and then trout. I was reading the comments and someone mentioned this webb site so I went to it and liked...
Perch - If I were you and the guy bailed out, I would not let him date my daughter. I am the novice that Jerry has been helping. With his help I feel more confident and I intend to buy a new rig...
Old Joe, I bought the 16 ft camo version in 1980 and am still using it. I bought it for duck hunting and I am still using it. I believe it weighs in at 120 lbs. more with the anchor and paddles...
Hairstacker, That was a good testimony of the trion. Seems like others are a bit skeptical of the IM8 yet.
Thanks to the others that replied. I'm still open for more info if anyone has any.
J.C. Buzz hasn't held an IM8 yet. I already asked him. I thought some others on the BB might have had some experience with them. One person told me IM8 is suppose to be stronger than the previous...
I have been reading about Fly rods. I see that many brands are made of graphite IM6, some with IM7 and now I see Pflueger has rods made of 98%IM8. I would like opinions of IM8 rods for those of you...
I understand the different X nbrs for tippet material. Where I fish the water is pretty clear. I have been using 2 lb. Maxi ultra green mono which was recommended by the boss at the tackle store. ...
Thanks all that responded. I'm getting the big picture now. As Benny Hill would say,"learning, learning always learning." Now I will post a new question on tippet material.......
I am interested in those seal skin socks also. I do a lot of late season duck hunting while breaking ice. I was looking for other opinions before I invest in them....... I do use polypropolen...
Thanks for the additional info. For Jim Hatch, Buzz is on his way to the Mich fish in. You brought up another question in your reply talking about just using mono line as the leader. What...
Thanks Jonzee! What you said make sense to me. I will have to do some real fishing at the end of the month. I will start with a 7 1/2 leader with some
extra tippet being as I am a novice at this...
I went to basic 101 and read J. Castwell's article on leaders and tippets. It is explained in there and I wa partially right about cutting tippet for new flies but I was not aware of the windknots...
Thanks! Ron & Al. Things are clearer now. The word tippet has two meanings then. It is the end of the leader and it is another piece of material that is called tippet that is tied to the tippet...
I'm waiting on Greg H's response to the soap question also. I have greater access to soap than I do wax.....
:?: Trying to learn and understand more... I have read where a leader length should be 1 1/2 and 1.35 times the length of the fly rod you are using. I am using an 8'6" rod. I am fishing small...
