Interesting enough that particular Native American (Tisquantum aka "Squanto") had previously lived in Europe for seven years (both England and Italy) and had learned that trick there. The local...

If you go directly from stream to stream without the boots drying, you're correct. Drying, however, kills didymo (unlike whirling disease spores), so those areas will be ok if you just dry the...

No, they don't they charge what other states charge Maryland residents, and have for years. See the fee table that I included above (where it says "Nonresident non-tidal license fees are equal to...

That's wrong. Maryland (we don't have a F & G, we have a DNR) charges as below:



FWIW, I googled this page so that I could quote verbatim. With the search terms "maryland dnr non-resident...

Those are the prices that Maryland charges to out of state anglers buying a Maryland license. It's based on what each state would charge a Maryland resident to fish in that state. In some cases,...

Even if he were only 15, that would still make 1891. Yellowstone opened as a national park in 1872, with a thousand vistors that year. You could get there a combination of rail and stagecoach by...

Impressive.

Have you tried it with a 4 weight?

I can't imagine the situation where you would want to fish a 6'6" 3 wt that couldn't deliver the goods up close and personal, but that might just be because I...

But, but .. the category says "Cane and graphite" :D

That's a really attractive rod.

Can't wait to see the Steffen.

As DG alluded to above, I think the fly will catch the most fish is the one you fish the most. It's chicken and egg thing -- do you fish it a lot because it catches, or does it catch because you...

Nice video. Great work on the rod.

Same as I'd use for wets -- Mustad R50.

I love Cortland Sylk, and it's the only line that will pass freely through the agate guides of some of my older cane rods. I don't think it compares to real silk, however.

Down locking for sure. Balance may not be an issue on modern plastic rods, but it sure is on older, longer cane rods. Even when it's not an issue, the line wrapping mentioned above is a problem for...

Yes, but those are uncommonly loony.

I've caught on a Partridge and Orange in all twelve months.

I couldn't agree more. My only point was that you can't judge someone's affluence by the cost of their gear or by their apparent "snobbiness".

Money is not the same as snobbery, and why do you think the "nearby flyfishers" aren't just rich guys dressed down? The "snobbery" that you see is that of experienced fishers for beginners who...

I've never had one slip or spontaneously come untied.:)

I don't find the figure unbelievable at all; it's slightly lower than both TU and FFF report. BUT:

1) The number is family income, not individual income. 50k apiece in a two income family.
2)...

Looks like I'm going to have to pick up a copy. I enjoy reading Malcolm Greehalgh (in the British magazine Fly Fishing and Fly Tying) and any book with a Snipe and Purple on the cover has to be...

You beat me to the punch. I fish it dry, wet, and stripped like a streamer. I haven't used it as a nymph yet, but I suspect it would work just fine.

I have a 10' 3 weight. It's just what the doctor ordered for upstream wet flies, where I want to make frequent, short casts with long leaders and very little line out. A heavier rod gets tiresome,...

Most of the March Brown hatches that I've seen -- on both sides of the country -- have been rather sparse. An insect, then another a few minutes later, kind of a thing. In those circumstance, the...

Here's several:
