PM sent. Thanks.
See your PM. Thanks. CEA
For those flyfishers interested, there is a permanent display of George's flies, as well as some others, in Butte, Montana at the visitors center just off of the interstate. It is well worth your...
For those of you familiar with George Grant (the rest of you should be familiar with his flies, they are amazing), he passed away yesterday at the age of 102.
He will be missed.
Since you suggested everyone's thoughts are appreciated, I would suggest the best place for an indicator is left in the sporting goods store. I've tried it a couple of times, and would prefer to...
To answer the question, I'd recommend UDAP bear spray since I have used it on a bear and it worked well for me. Alot of folks swear by Counter Assault bear spray. Either one should be fine.

Sounds like they were taking 16 BWO quill parachutes to me. I used to fish that area a bit. The cutthroat are not the smartest fish, you're thinking too hard trying to catch these fish, an exact...
Slough Foot - The fires to the south shouldn't be any problem where you are at, other than like you said, may redirect some foot traffic your way. It will still be relatively uncrowded in that area...
Bamboozle: Its really not so bad - most of the rivers and areas that are closed are too crowded with tourists during the summer months to make fishing them much fun anyway. There are still plenty...
Are you flying up to Schafer meadows and floating down to Bear Cr? Going with a guide or doing it on your own? Either way, its been record hot weather, lots of lightning storms and the mid to...
See article from local paper, also similar news from the YNP website. This is nothing new the past few years, though this year the (ought to be mandatory) closures are more extensive than they have...
Wild One - I read the article you posted a link to regarding a bear in the Woodland Hills area. The people's actions in that story show utter disregard and stupidity around a bear - the lady saw it...
Wild One - to answer your question to me, I would not blame anyone. My opinion is among those suggested by you -- that it is an unfortunate incident not requiring blame that folks should learn from....
Fly Goddess - I am not affilliated with the F&G of Utah or any other state, and do not agree with many things they do. However, I am familiar with several instances of persons being attacked or...
Wild One - I grew up in Alpine and Highland UT, so am familiar with the area also. I do not accept that just because you or a few other folks that spent some time in the area did not see any bears...
Fly Goddess: It is an unfortunate event. However, blaming Fish and Game is a waste. There are black bear warnings not only at the campsite near where this family was staying, but at several...
lastchance: I don't know about everyone, but I know my wife is quite happy with her RS3 rod. It is the 9 foot 5 weight. I like the rod quite a bit also. Its casts just fine, and has for me the...
Not sure I agree with the arbitrary yardage you have come up with in determining appropriate etiquette. My take on it is that if you are one of the many fishermen in the park that sticks close to...
I wear it in a udap holster on my wader belt. My wife likes the udap chest holster and uses that when hiking or fishing. There is always debate about which is the preferred spray, but around here...
Jeremy: I'd guess that bear was 200 yards or so away. He was on the roadside when we approached, crossed the road and splashed around in a lake, then went back up into the hills. I guess the...
I've seen a lot of bears, both grizzlies and black bears. I saw two grizzlies over easter weekend - a photo of one is attached: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/210/457834091_e06f3ca0ce.jpg
It...
Depending on the weather, the Bechler area may not be a great option even in late July. The area is quite marshy, and if you're hiking in, you'll want to wait for most of the marshes to dry up. ...
I don't agree that its necessary at all to lean into the rod to set a streamer when trout fishing. I fish size 2 streamers alot and catch quite a few 20 inch plus fish, and nearly every fish hooks...
