I don't understand how anyone can use those line holders with which to fish. If it doesn't bring in 2' per wind, it is simply useless. I use the Martin 72 3:1 multiplier (about $30). Now I'd like...

Sounds like a match made in heaven. I fish almost exclusively for steelhead and salmon. In my state they are available every month of the year so the article will be quickly available. It is time for...
I use multiplier reels only. I fish only for big fish and don't want to play with a 15th Century line holder. A good choice is a Martin Mod 72 which has a 3:1 ratio and allows proper playing of fish...
With carefully controlled amounts of ocean fishing and a sudden drop in Sacramento chinook, it is illogical to assume that ocean overfishing caused the sudden drop.
Sunlight and ozone (usually from electrical equipment) are the worst destroyers of mono.
Stockers in stores are taught to replace the line on the shelves moving the older up front and the newer in...
I used to install the fly line and backing on reels at the Sportsman's Warehouse. This is done for free and either 20 or 30 pound dacron backing is only 2 cents per yard. It is a rare reel that can...
If the salmon are dark, there is NO reason to fish for them (in any manner), because the only Godly reason to fish is to catch and eat them. Snagging and/or releasing is the devils work.
PS, salmon are LARGE fish, don't be afraid of using a 3-4" long fly.
Not an unusual scenario. Often the salmon start jumping and not biting so we know they are there but they won't touch anything. Hateful things. On the other hand, I have landed over 50 salmon in one...
If you add a worm to the fly, it adds LOTS of wiggle. This one was taught to me by Joe of Joe's Worms & Juicy Grubbs & Special Protein Drink (available in smooth & extra chunky) and Furled Trot Lines.
Just a quick thought. A half century is a long time to think back to remember what best increased my tying ability, but this one is easy...good, small diameter tying thread.
How do we contact this group?
Never go East to go fishing.
That other boat doesn't appear to be moving. Must be at a good spot.
Here is another favorite of mine. It was a 2006 Fly of the Week here so the detailed instructions are there. Santiam Surprize

This hook is the Eagle Claw #1197 in a size 6 or 4...I prefer #4. It is the strongest hook for its size I have seen. I used to get these from Herters for $20/1000. Does that date me? They are still...
An hour before sunset on a Pete's R&B. Check the Atlantic section here for the fly. It is a goodun.
I remember someone catching a 47 pounder out in the ocean off BC years ago. I think a bigger one...
Hope I can post this...my biggest steelie so far

Jim, do you know how you dated yourself by saying "Verrry Interesting"? I wonder if anyone besides Goldie Hawn is still alive from that show.
30 miles North of Coeur d' Alene is Cocalalla Lake which is full of trout and other species. They poisoned it in 1960 which is the last time I fished it. A few more miles to the North on the West...
Sounds like my kinda book. Tho prolly too many basics.
Hi RW, good to hear from you again. Hope you drop by the chat room.

I won't fish with a reel other than a multiplier. I have a Hardy and a Martin 72. I normally use the Martin 72 with its star drag. I normally only fish for steelhead or salmon. The Martin has a 3:1...
Or did the Griz release a native?
