Dude, that beard rules!

Well, I didn't really didn't post that to set Gene up; it was supposed to be funny. The late Gene Hill was one of America's greatest outdoor writers. If you haven't read Gene, you are missing...

Thanks all; lots of good solutions. Kid, did you do any good?

Gene Hill said that "nymphing...with a bobber ("strike indicator" indeed!) has little to do with real fly fishing." Well, apparently Gene never cast for pan fish in a 30mph Kansas wind like I was...

Prairieschooner and granddaughter Gracie, a few years back. She's nine now so she's changed a bit; me, I look exactly the same :roll:.

Sweet!!!!!

Wow Jerry. How wonderful that you can do this for these folks. God bless you.

If it's going on that sweet new bamboo rod, cool choice! Just please don't stick some turquoise and coral-colored large arbor technological monstrosity on it :D!

Three of my favorite bluegill holes are clearly marked "catch and release only". Kinda takes any discussion out of the equation.

Nice story, K7!

Ice storm here; lots of downed limbs, etc. 25 or so last night :mad:.

Yeah, we have one of those here. Walked through once; big mistake.

I worked retail for 20 years or so, and I can tell you that while retail sellers often think they can tell the difference, they're just as often wrong. Me, I'm an impulse buyer; may not be looking...

I echo what most here have said, and prefer Cabela's by a wide margin over Bass Pro. Bass Pro seems like a Gander Mountain/Dicks/Sports Authority on steroids. That said, the Bass Pro in...

Nice bream!

Done and done. Thanks to Coldpass for his tips on bending the tab and also on buying both the cam and screw in case they weren't compatible. The old reel is now fully operational, and hung back up...

I just picked up a "new" 9' Winston BiiX 7wt on the bay for under $350; it's a demo model, cast some but never been fished. I already have this rod in 6wt and really like it, so I'd been looking...

I get ya...

I wouldn't go into a Cabela's looking for help with bamboo rods any more than I'd go into the Walmart electronics department looking for help with stereo equipment. If they have what you want at...

Just when I turned 65 and no longer needed a license Kansas changed the law! They did sell me a lifetime hunting/fishing combo for $40 though.

You will, my friend. Good luck!

I finally made it out today. I took my new 7wt, figuring it was too much rod for anything I might find, but I wanted to fish it for the first time. Fished for a couple hours; nothing, but I was...

Nice! I haven't been out yet; good to know there may be a few 'gills looking to play! Maybe when the d*mned snow melts I'll give them a try.

Helping someone on the water is one thing (although no one who's seen me fish is likely to ask for my help :(); telling anyone about "special spots" is quite another, for the very reason Hap...

Nope......
