Were these catches expected? A bit alarming that people have released goldfish into the ponds. How do they fight? Cheers!

i use moleskin cut and applied to the reelfoot in thickness as needed. It works every time .
It is a wonderful cycle that we are in and you described it well. I finally purchased the 7'9" 5wt Far and Fine and it is heavenly in my old casting hands. It has caused me to consider selling...
Are you using a leader butt?
Good that you tie with a view of the outdoors. To me that is important.
Bamboo has been fished for a long time. My oldest is from the 1940s and it casts just fine. I think I have four bamboo rods including one I need to finish building. I want to go fishing!
Good topic. I have more fiberglass fly rods than I have graphite or bamboo. All of them are wonderful rods to me although fiberglass is my preference. I have no trouble fishing big water here in...
Look at your reel stash, pick two or three, put them on the rod and see which one feels best. It's my less scientific means of deciding and it works for me.
Take care Charlaine. :)
I agree with Betty. You want recompense then you better step up your game and get serious. Emails, telephone calls, letters and whatever else is necessary to the guide and the fly shop, chamber of...
A real guide would have already dealt with this appropriately. He owes you a new rod, exact replacement or closest model to it. You should not even ahve to ask.
Steven, you perfectly addressed Al's legacy and what a wonderful one it is. I am grateful that his topics are all still here. I remember the bench and all. Would like to see it one day, maybe sit...
I have a thread leader I have used so often tht it frayed in a several places. I mean really major frays. So I tied a loop above the frays and removed the damaged section. What I have is a leader...
This was the first forum I joined (under a different moniker, Gardenfish) when I took up this fabulous sport in January of 2003. I kept finding Al Campbell all over this forum. He is responsible...
good and well-earned advertising there
Dear Betty, how could we possibly forget you? :)
That my wife would be free of pain.
Hello Charlaine. I always enjoyed reading your posts. :)

The FlyLogic FLP is a winner. You might find a Hardy either side of a hundred bucks. I have and they are great reels. Talking about the small sized Marquis or System (SciANglers), and the LRH.
BLessings for all good things to you Jerry. I know what kind of man you are and it makes me smile.
Here you can see several of them. THey are on the menu top left of page: http://flyreelmania.free.fr/
Jerry is set up with reels, lines, and backing. Go on you all for doing the rod. :)
I would gladly skew these figures on the high end but the chances are nil. Fly fishing pays me in ways the dollar never can. Now that is precious.
blessings to you for all good things
The soft hackle. It is truly a versatile fly.
