There is some great advice on here. If you have decided on a canoe and nothing else (John boat, hybrid, kayak, etc) then I would recommend checking out LL Bean. They offer an Old Town Osprey package...

I think this is a neat idea, thanks for allowing me to enter

My pleasure everyone, thanks for joining!

Hello fellow FAOL'ers,

For those of you in business or other professional careers, you may be familiar with professional networking sites that have become today's rolodex on the web. One in...

Thanks everyone for your input....

Soft-hackle, the idea I had in mind is even simpler then the three examples you showed me. No picture, just an image, or outline of someone casting a...

Friends,

I have an idea to start a networking group for business professionals who fly fish in my area. Networking is a hot topic and this would be another means for people with like interests to...

Nighthawk,

It is out of my price range but it isnt unfathomable. It seems like a good deal but obviously Im new at this, plus i need to factor in paddles, seat rests, etc as that is the price on...

Great, great advice everyone. I think what I set out as my initial parameters are still accurate; lightweight, stable, etc. The link explaining stability was wonderful. I will still probably go with...

I would be curious to hear opinions on one of these cedar plank canoes. I found one based on the Hiawatha design for $1200. Right around 15' long, 34" wide and a little over 50 lbs (which was an...

"Barbless hooks catch more fish"

Can you expand on this one? Id like to hear the logic behind the theory......

Just the South river in Wayneboro. I think a total of 6 or 7 bows that day, largest being around 15 inches. The really seemed to hammer it as it flew by in the various riffles high in the pools. Of...

Hey Mike,

I am definitely going to miss the Festival and most of all your Fudge! I was back in VA for work in December and my friend who was at the festival with me last year and I ran up to...

First, I am sorry to post such a thread as I am sure you get bombarded with these requests. Last time I was in the paddling forum a year ago it seemed as if there were 100's of discussions on topics...

So is it a stretch to think of them as the Bluegills of the ocean?? I may be targeting something more "sporty" but they save the day when nothing else is biting.

They were very aggresive and did...

Was using an Orvis T-3 9 weight with Battenkill Large Arbor reel. We saw no bones, but did get a report of them the day before from another angler, who managed several including one pushing 10 lbs. ...

Friends of ours live in the Keys 4 months of the Wisconsin winter, and invited us down for a week of R&R. I had never fished salt before, but quickly talked him into an outing, booking thru the...

I have a different take on why the Clouser isnt working for you. My guess would be the size of the river you are fishing. You stated the river was shallow, up to 4 feet and usually less. I would bet...

Spinner, who is on this board, is who you need to talk to. He is a guide out that way but Im sure he would be willing to point you in the right direction and help with flies. He also has a website...

Contact Dale at the Orvis shop in Richmond. Not only do they tie up a special fly for the shad run up the James, he is hands down an expert at the tactics. From what I remember of my time there,...

Yes, very nice

Yah no doubt, I had no idea the differences and they both serve a most noble purpose

Sterile. Most definitely sterile.

I almost cant believe this hasnt been suggested, but if you want world class creek fly fishing, mossy creek near Harrisonburg is the best known spot in the state. You will need to contact the Mossy...

Len,

I was on wikipedia earlier and noticed they lack a picture of a tiger trout. Im no expert on Wiki (or tiger trout) but I think its an open source environment where experts add information for...

I have an observation to share. You mentioned that topwater was out, the bass werent hitting on top at this time of the year. I have found when that to be the case, you will have a hard time...
