welcome aboard. i have found this site the best of the fly fishing forums i have been on. lots of people that dont mind answering questions and tones of knowledge. cya around.
as fcch already knows, i fish a lot for brookies. one thing i have noticed is that in my area (or the streams that i fish anyway) the trout dont seem to spook that easy. maybe its the water color?...
fcch, how about when i get my tying gear i'll get ya to send the book. right now i am finding enough info online to read. thanks a bunch.
paff, let me know when u get your kit and tell me how u...
chris, trout flies for sure along with flies for perch and other small pan fish.
man it sucks not having a fly shop close buy. well maybe its a good thing, i dont spend as much money that way LOL
chris, yes i think i am hooked. great tip about certian kits being geared towards certian types of fish. i never thought about that. i will do some checking before i make a final desision, and...
looking at getting a fly tying kit. i have heard that the kits that u get in walmart or other stores like that are not the best quality. i see that cabelas has a number of kits. just wondering which...
I am really getting hooked on flyfishing and i know a good number of people in my area flyfish but its only for salmon which in most cases, is on the miramichi away from our lacal waters. i just cant...
chris, thanks for the info. i will pass it on to my buddy that is heading to the york in june. looks like he will have good time.
tim, i like the idea of the dropper rig. thats something new to me. i will check it out and see if my local regulations alow it. the only concern i have is do they effect your cast in anyway, or are...
fcch, i got a loop but no velcro patch. well thats ok.
thanks guys for the help, i will make sure i get them flies dried out before i put them back in the box.
tim, LOL thanks. i just bought a vest the other night and was wondering what that furry patch on my jacket was for.
i have a bunch of old flys in a fly box that i have no idea were they came from. the flys are all mostly in good condition eccept for a few that have rust on the hooks. what is the best way to insure...
all i know is the best tasting food streamside for me is having some good baked beans, and frying up a couple brookies i just caught on the coleman and a can of pepsi. top that off with some beef...
so far all of my trout fishing has been done with dry flies.I am always able to catch a number of fish on drys even when i dont see many fish taking flies or rising in the water. the water i am...
Man u guys are great, JC and all. thanks a lot for all the info. even something as simple as some of the questions i have, u guys dont jump all over a newbie for not knowing it. thanks fcch for...
JC, sorry for trying to put the cart before the horse. i can see how flyfishing and patience will go hand in hand, and i am very impatient at times.
JC, thanks for clearing that up with me. now for my next ? what would happen if i tried wf6f line on my 5 wt rod. would this make it easier for me to cast. not saying i am having trouble casting. i...
fcch, thanks i understand now. are all of the WF lines the same as far as how much wieght foward there is? my thinking is that a line with more WF would cast easier and farther, or maybe not so????
LOL i was hoping u could tell me, the line brand is "crystal river". i know its cheaper line but will do the trick for small streams for brookies.
JC, the box says " wf-5f-x "
yesturday i went out and bought some WF-F5-X for my 5 wt rod. is this the right line for this rod? i was on the assumption that the 5 ment 5 wieght.
one more question i also notice that each end...
what method should i use while my rod is hanging on the wall to keep that friggin leader striaght so when i hit the water it doesnt want to curl on me?
came acrossed something tonight called "fas snaps" which are made by south bend. they are tied to your tippet and then your fly can be easily attached and changed without re tying. just wondering if...
