I have a pair of the new Orvis boots with rubber soles. They come with studs and I've used them several times. They're much better than felt on dry land (especially on snow and muddy banks) so far...

I used to use a nice wood one that I made myself until I started getting into pocket water fishing. The heavy current coupled with the wood's desire to float required just too much effort. I have...

Left handed, Cast right, reel right.

First, just because a company looks like it's in doing well and in business (e.g. catalog, new products, etc) doesn't mean it's doing well. Most companies that go under do so with vigor.

That...

Fish Pimps were great when they first came out. They were a pain to put on because the rubber tube was fat and you had to really stretch it to get the fly line through.

But the "new" versions seem...

Perfect! Thanks very much.

You really need to go to the store and test the camera you want to buy.

I have a Canon A2000 and it seems to have a fairly quick "press the shutter button to picture capture time" -- something...

Understand, but again, I'd get over it. But that's just me. Off the charts Type A at work. Much less so with regards to fishing.

Of course, this is your work, so I understand why it's so important.

If you have a T3 and they're going to replace it with a T3, I think that's satisfying the obligation with regards to warranty. Now they're wicked polite and they're not going to say so outright but...

The reason that things are made in low cost countries is because consumers (that's all of us) want more stuff.

Rising wages dramatically improved consumers lives in the post-war period -- we all...

I just can't imagine any task that I would need to do that would need to be performed better than the Traveler does it. Yeah, I could probably get better adjustments, but I've tied all sizes and...

Normand -- look carefully at the pictures of your set-up and the pictures of the one on this thread. Different set-up, different manufacturers.

Here's the manufacture's site:...

Just be aware, that studio is 8 inches along each dimension according to the website. So, you're going to have to mount the fly on something other than your vice.

I've got a Gerstner Box (a birthday present from several years ago) and it suits me fine.

But (and it's a big one) I have a very modest accumulation of fly tying stuff. If pushed to clean my...

That's what I do too.

The only reason I'd clean my waders is if I were in waters that had some sort of invasive plant in them. All the rest of the gunk is "character" (including the coffee stains).

Mine too.

Yeah, I'm a flash fanatic (dare I say, addict). So, I guess I would answer -- no.

Lake trout that I've seen in the northeast are usually the reverse -- dark with light spots -- so if it weren't for that "subtle" distinction, I'd say "Lake Trout". Perhaps you've got a different...

I was a bit surprised to see the Clouser listed as #1 (assuming that they're in some sort of order) and was surprised to see the Pheasant Tail nymph not in there (though I don't know what I'd take...

My biggest problem is keeping track of them in my vest. The package is teeny, the rings are teeny. When I've used em, I've like them, but after I break one off I've gone back to the surgeon's knot.

With regards to wading, in Connecticut the law is a whole lot more complex. The general rule is if you own the land on the bank you own the stream bottom to midstream. Many landowners who own both...

I think Normand makes a good point -- Do dries need eyes? Cool from a realism perspective but are they relevant to the trout?

I mostly use Tiemco but I recently purchased a package of Hook & Hackle "store brand" and they seem to be very good and about half the price.

DING DING DING....give the man a Kewpie Doll. That's why the thing spins like a top and I let it spin to let it unwind.

Is this something I really want to try? I've heard of suffering for your art.....
