I swing big streamers for Lake Erie Steelhead and use a 9'6" 8wt. The flies are big and so are the fish.
Whatever you decide, make sure you match the rod to the fly weight. Get the flies to...
Hi, I am looking for a recipe for 9' and 12' 3x leaders fellas. I decided that I'm gonna tie my own leaders cause I need to devote more time to fly fishing lol.
Thanks,
I have acouple of Hobbs Creek reels and fish steelhead and muskie with them. They are more than adequete and I have complete confidence in them.
They are a good bang for the buck.
Hey Marty, hope that you're busting them on the Catt. I have been out 3 times and done well so far. I won't be back into town until next week. Good to see you on the boards though.
I have an early Lefty Kreh 5 wt Professional. I am a steelheader but dabble in bass and brown trout fishing. The rod is well built and cast's great. I will never buy another rod not built in...
Evil Phil doesn't look too evil standing that far away! Nice Chrome by the way!
Egg patterns, wolley buggers, deceivers, will be the ticket on the Erie (NY) tribs.
Marty, will you be coming up to fish the Catt this fall?? I just got back from the Ausable in Wilmington. No...
I use a 5wt 8'6" TFO, the same rod I fish for browns and it works great!
Chris, I just purchased a pair of Eagle Eyes for 49.95 and they are awesome for fishing. Can't wait to use them to sight fish Steelies.
Where are you from in Canada? I'm heading to Parry Sound...
Hi, I do walleye with a sinktip when I fish Parry Sound Victoria Day weekend. I use my steelhead set-up, an 8wt 9'6" Sage VT2, a type IV sinktip and 20# mono leader, not tapered. I troll that rig...
I fight fish by the old guideline "any fish big enough to be on the reel will get there eventually". It's a judgement call, depending on the size and fight in the fish...
Never fish with someone that you can't stand. Free time is precious, pick who you enjoy it with!
I use a sink tip in the deeper pools of the streams that I fish. It get the streamers down to chromer depths. No more worrying about your fly not quite being on the bottom...it is.
I also troll...
I steelhead near the Buffalo tribs but have fished the Salmon in Pulaski. Have a full compliment of size 6-8 wolley buggers, egg sucking leaches, clouser minnows (emerald shiner pattern), sucker...
This should help.

Greetings from Buffalo, NY, we've probably rubbed arms on the Ontario tribs.
I'm 4 years into fly fishing and 7 rods that I own. I am to the point where I can tell the difference between rods. I bought a Sage VT2 8wt for steelhead and it is a pleasure to cast, more so than...
There's a certain lake West of Buffalo where they are stocked, and there are alot of them.
I use a scientific Anglers Type 4 sink tip in the spring and fall. I also do them top water.
Look at the minnows that you are supposed to be imitating and tie the clouser as close as you can to that pattern. That might help!
Family trip to the Naiscoot River in Ontario, Victoria Day weekend to fish for walleye and pike.
I mainly fly fish for the solitude, even in the streams near Buffalo, if yoiu want to bust some shoe leather, you can get that.
That said, I enjoy getting together with my fly buddies for a...
That sounds like my dream trip...
Thanks for sharing, anyways.
That's quite a subjective question.
I started with a 9' 8wt that I bought from a man I consider my fly fishing mentor. I am 4 years into fly fishing and own 7 fly rods, a float tube, 2 pairs of...
I've done it in a float tube, they are a hoot! The key is after you hook them to manuver to shallow water and keep your legs together, or bring them up to the bottom of the float tube. Use a boga...
