What outfit and flies do you use for steelhead? I'm going to give it a try one of these days.
Go to the Wisconsin DNR website, follow the fishing regs, trout fishing and they will have a pretty good map for you to look at. I'm on the other side of the state so I can't help with specifics. I...
If you have a broadband connection to the internet and a computer running at least 1 gig processor, you should look at this NASA program at Worldwinds. (Google it)Great for tracing the track of your...
I'm spoiled. I have a nice little pond about 50 yards from the house full of little munchkin bluegills.I always get a kick when the local kids wander by and see me pulling them in on a little Hare's...
Would have been more fun on the 5 wtbut was using my 8 weight beater, cheap rod that works. Only had a 5x tip though. It was on the St Croix and I am looking forward to taking the BIG Rod out for the...

I'm a cheapy too. I tie using hackles I purchased 20 years ago. Yes, you pay a little extra up front, but the materials last a long time. Granted, dry flies are my least favorite to tie, the real...
I had him out in the yard tonight and keeping his wrist straight, did much better.
You all have been most helpful. Thank you!
Support your local flyshop first before going to Walfart. They will usually have a beginner set and as from reading your introduction you are already an avid sportsman who will be addicted instantly....
I will take that as a stiff wrist vote. I have been a fly fisherman since I was about 12 or 13 and I'm 43 now. Mostly warm water, grew up in Lansing MI. Brings back a lot of memories reading the...
My wife and I are trying to decide which is the better way to teach our 13 year old to cast. I am self taught with a little help from one of Lefty's books, but I tend to fish with a stiff wrist, My...
