I would follow the instructions for rigging that came with your thingamabobbers. Even after doing so they may slip a bit. After rigging you might also want to try and put a small piece of square...

Most of my fly reels are Orvis made in England. I recently purchased a Trout 2 from Allen Fly Fishing for my 5wt. I am very impressed with the quality. I would definitley check them out.

I would ask the Dept of Natural Resources, or whatever they are called in your state. I know here in Iowa if you are going to stock a pond they are very helpful in providing what species and...

My offer to take your rods off your hands still stands. Just send me a PM and I'll reply with my address. One other thing to think about is that the problem might be that the no longer make that rod.

Except for a couple of boo rods, all my graphite are St. Croix. Love the company, rods and customer service. Since you want to give yours away, send me a OM and I reply with my address and will take...

I'm only too happy to share flies and techniques. But not honey holes or secret spots. Part of the fun of fishing is find them on your own, so why spoil that for someone?

Mike -you're a good man.

All the best.

Depending on the river I am fishing I will use either a 9' 6wt or 8wt. Smaller shallower river then it's the 8wt. On the bigger river I fish I tend to favor the 8wt because there are also northern...

I suspect that with today's economy, some folks may have less discretionary income which would limit those who may take an interest in fly fishing from getting started. Or those who all ready are may...

2? That is a bit young. Makes me wonder if their muscles will be developed enough to hold something that long, not to mention their coordination. Unless of course teaching them to fly cast/ fish is...

If I missed this, I apologize, but how deep are you wanting to fish? For instance I wet wade local rivers in the summer and use nothing but a floating line. Clousers are weighted and get down to the...

A Steve Pennington 7' 4wt.

No, but why would you want to? Is it that bad?

I done the same thing with an older Pflueger 1495. It is easier than adding lead shot thru that little opening on the spool.

I think Hayward is a good idea. You might want to give these guys a call. http://www.haywardflyfishingcompany.com/

48 years for me. And why do my feet get colder than they use to? And why have the waders I've purchased over time gotten bigger? Not to mention the rocks and hook sizes that djo has mentioned nor...

I agree. It's not the rod.

An Orvis Helios 8 1/2' 5wt 4 pc mid flex.

For trout fishing in our spring creeks, it has to be my St Croix Avid (pre IPC) 8 1/2' 4wt 2pc.

If at all possible, take your waders to your local fly shop, or big box and try the boots on with your waders and the socks you plan to wear with them. If that is not possible, then I agree with...

George, I agree with Betty. Either go to a fly shop if available or hook up with a fly fishing club in your area, again if available and try different vises. Oh and don't kid yourself to think that...

You were lucky to have her for 18 years. We had to have our black lab Molly put to sleep for the same thing and also because she was loosing control of her bowls. She was 12 1/2. My heart still aches.

Early on, I had a similar experience when using smaller flys size #18 and below. A friend of mine suggested that I open up the gap and that helped. Some days you are going to lose fish. It happens,...

It seems as if this thread got hyjacked. If you are looking for a good used bamboo rod you might want to look here; http://coldwatercollectibles.com/ Another one would be; http://www.rwsummers.com/. ...
