Wheatworth,
I'm sorry to have missed you. We ended up cutting our trip short due to weather and the 2 boys getting pretty ansy in all that bad weather. We did fish for 2 days and the boys loved...

I've fished my 5 WFF Green Mountain all year thus far for LMB, Bream, and Montana trout. They work, float, and cast reasonably well. The only shortcoming is the short length. I think mine is also...

I'll be bringing a 6 wt and 8 wt rod in 9 ft lengths, floating lines and various clousers in green/white, tan/white combos, redfish spoons, crab/shrimp patterns. That's what I have and if I find a...

There's plenty of good water in the area. I've only fished the waters near the State Capitol for salmon but I heard lots of good reports from the Deschutes. Good luck, you ought to look up the...

I should be there the same time with my family. I hear the lagoon just west of Gulf Shores is a good place to start. That's where I'm headed with my kids. Good luck. I'm planning on being there...

...is paid for dearly with the blood, sweat, tears and sacrifices of brave men and women... who held the virtues so dearly they gave their lives for it. We must never become complacent, uninvolved...

I've had copperheads cross my path on the tee box thinking it was a stick. The most recent surprise was fishing my lake in the early evening in the dark with a headlamp and catching LMB and Brim...

I used to carry my 2 piece rods on trips but the last time was 2006. I've gotten to carrying my 3/4/5 wt rods on a fishing daypack along with flies, waders, jacket and sometimes my vest. This last...

I've had trout take me into the backing about 10 times in the last 6 years. Not much but when you do hook that wild/native 16/18/20+ fish on a 5-7x tippet on a river watch out. 2 weeks ago I was in...

I have pockets for most stuff and lanyards for my forceps, flyboxes, floatant, nippers and even my hat on windy days or on a boat. My floatant sits in an open pocket so it's out of the way. It is...

I've had that experience once when I remembered wading at chest level was asking for trouble and I didn't want to test a myth so I backed out. I'm sure you can't trap air under your waders unless...

Winston WT, LT and BIIX would all make good choices. Sage in the SLT, TXL, etc... Orvis gives you a Helios which casts like a BIIX to me. So many choices but I myself don't look at a number but at...

When I learned to fish, it was described as "more sportsmanlike" to just catch and release. I was an impressionable 15 y/o laddie. Since then I've taken my share of trout that over the years I've...

Go to sierratradingpost.com and find some collapsible walking staffs. Getting an extra long staff is an invitation to wade deeper than you should. I've owned 2 Leki Wunderfrueds and it works for...

I've been fly fishing for a while but I'm always and still learning. My first rod/reel were a Cortland duo given as a departing gift by some truly good friends. I've outgrown that rod but still...

You can't beat the taste at all!

DG I'm with you on this. I too bought a 5wt/WFF Orvis line for $8 on Sierra Trading Post. It floats just as much as my Rios, Wonderlines and Cortlands and casts quite nicely too. I've caught a...

I just wanted to lurk and read today but I just had to answer this. I recently moved to a very hunter oriented region of the country and the concept of C&R has been ruminating in my head. Do they...

I take a great deal of pride in hand sharpening my good knives. It is kinda like cleaning your guns before a good match or competition. I know if I do my job then that tool just glides through the...

"...Super Bowel Sunday ..." Is that what New England did??? As much as I looked forward to the game I was out fishing with my 3 wt, having so much fun even in the pouring rain it took me not being...

Could this behaviour be seasonal? I know in the summer, I'll get 3-4 strikes to one take/hook but in the fall/spring/winter that ratio is closer to 1:1 or 2:1 just like yesterday. I'm fishing an...

Ditto on the TFO Finesse as a real value. I cast a couple and compared it to Orvis' Troutbum/Superfine, Sage SLT and a nice Scott( don't remember model but pricey). Overall I was impressed with the...

Well I finally got Dorothy to try some silk pajamas and take the slippers off. As for myself, the Tin Man, I'm using Castrol Synthetic so no worries! I'm fishing in Summit, MS aka SW Misssissippi. ...

I've observed Bream behaviour for only 3 yrs and they are puzzling. It is very frustrating fishing for this species either with flies or live bait. When presented with live crickets on a thin hook...

Big waves this year I hear which makes for seriously nice riding. Thanks for sharing.
