OK, now we're getting somewhere. I hadn't heard anything good or bad about the Cabelas own brand lines, so that's one thougth. Also, the Hook and Hackle lines are looking interesting.

Folks,

As I checked the gear this spring getting the bigger bass rods ready, I noticed a #7 and a #8 are both cracked and badly worn. This is in addition to a #4 line that I'd already intended...

I have a 15 foot wooden drift boat that I built myself. I deliberately made it to be as lightweight as possible because of local conditions here in MN.

By the standard of my boat, a...

Appreciate the feedback folks.

One of the main things I'm wondering about is the difference in action between the two models. The temptation is to assume the L-Tech is faster, but there's no...

Hi folks.

I'm looking for owner reviews on Cabels L-Tech and LST rods.

Specifically, I'm looking at 9 foot 8 weight 4 pc models, but I'll take all comers as opinions on the action of this...

If you put on waders, you are entering into a great cosmic pact and you are committing to share one day in the baptism of the brotherhood of the angle. In other words, sooner or later, you're going...

My recommendation, if fishing is your purpose, is to skip canoes and kayaks entirely.

I know, I know, I'm risking the wrath of canoe lovers everywhere, but please hear me out because I've been...

Both the Okuma SLV and the Integrity should be do-able for under $50 on eBay. Both are good reels and perform well above their price. I have 2 SLVs and 1 Integrity.

I have not had the...

As already mentioned, Shoe Goo or Goop will fix that, no problem.

Another great fix is silicon caulk (clear). It takes longer to cure, about 2 days, but once it does, nothing on Earth is...

Like 'em or hate 'em, we're all going to be learning to love the rubber soles and I think felt is going a thing of the past soon. New Zealand outlawed felt soles at the beginning of this season. ...

Yes, well the payoff will come when I'm on the recieving end of the envious gazes from you bank-bound Minnesota mortals, FC. Plus, I have it on good authority that the chicks really dig guys in...

I have six grape vines, two long rows of herb plants, and that's it. I used to do a lot of pots for tomatoes and peppers, but that's about as much work as having them in the ground because they have...

Yes, please do.

I'm building one in my garage right now, in fact, so I'd love to see some discussion. I don't have lots to learn, I have everything to learn as they aren't exactly common here...

That's a great though, NH.

I think one of our biggest problems in American today is simply an addiction to affluance, to be honest. Now I know someone out there is winding up to send me down in...

Of course, prayers for both the husband and his wife.

Could we also please pray that all motorcyclists will find the wisdom to wear helmets? Or that our elected Representatives will find the...

I doubt it. I think the demographics have shifted not just in fly fishing, but in fishing in general.

When A River Runs Through It came out we had a giant mass of Baby Boomers, all in their peak...

Yes, that's exactly how my TFO LK Pro looks. I thought it was a little odd, but then when you look at it at any distance it appears (to my eye) to be like whippings, so it's not a big deal.
...

I agree gas prices are a concern, especially when it comes to commuting and businesses that have to consume large amounts of fuel.

With that said, I think it's easy to take this too far and...

I think Jeff is on the right track here.

I've never seen such a sign in Minnesota, but I'd interpret the sign as trying to say that fly fishing is complicated, expensive, and elitist and it's...

I think part of the issue here is trying to translate the "rules" (as if there is any such thing) as they apply to DT line use in trout fishing and then speculating on what the advantages may/may not...

Dick, a couple of questions if you don't mind.

When did you go and which river(s) did you fish?

What were the tactics used, i.e. the flies and the method fished?

Single or double handed...

The former, or current mayor, depending on the ruling of state's election oversight board, was quoted as saying, "Clearly this election shows the voters of Pillsbury are sending a message to city...

According to friends in the UK, the prices this week are:

1 litre = 1.30 GB pounds

That works out to about $11.50 per US gallon.

Now it's worth pointing out that many European countries use...

This is not really true, at least the part about not being able to use the same diesel technology the rest of the world is using.

VW is already selling diesels in the US in their Golf and Jetta...

You know, that's funny I was just thinking today about posting a similar thread. I'll be watching with interest.

As a general question, is it true that Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are no-go...
