Rich,

My heart is with you during your time of grief. Several years ago my "mentor" passed and it still grieves me to this day. I say "mentor" because like you, the man was my FRIEND. He not...

I've never used the Bennechi (sp?) but I heartily endorse the Gudebrod 10/0. I also tie many flies down to 26 and this stuff is like magic. I buy it through Dan Bailey's (I'm sure it is also in...

Without a doubt I would suggest (second, third and fourth or whatever the number is) the Bighorn and Cottonwood Camps.

Flood warning for the Gallatin near Logan and Gateway until Thursday,...

JC,

I think that is the crux of the problem; there is no clear, definitive answer. The same holds true with many other issues that occur on this board. That's what makes forums such as this so...

I think much of the answer depends on what you fish for and how you fish. Personally, I can't stand using knotted leaders any more. As previously mentioned, the knots will catch anything and...

Out-freaking-standing! Way cool story and I really liked the pic. That had to be some battle!

Easy. Upper Madison between Lyon's Bridge and Quake Lake. Lodging can be a problem so you better start making reservations now. You could get lucky and actually find a place if you start right...

Hey Littlebrook,

Just out of curiousity, how did the Dorber line "feel" for you? Did you notice how rough it felt going through the guides? As I said, it seemed to perform well enough but just...

I agree with tailingloop. The Cortland 444 Classic really is a nice line and they seem to last forever. I don't use one on my primary rod, but it usually is the strung up on my secondary rod in the...

BTW, where is that you guys find these awesome wives? I've been searching my whole life and have yet to find one that is worthy to be a keeper. :-(

Trouthunter,

I have no affiliation with the place, but you might want to check out Hubbard's Landing at:

I started my daughter off fishing when she was very young. I think the first time I took her out was when she was 18 months old and we went ice fishing. She just thought the fish were really neat...

Check out The Slide Inn. It is right on the banks of the Madison River and has some outstanding fishing right out back. It's somewhat remote being about 30 miles from West Yellowstone and about 40...

I wish...... I haven't been in several years despite living 20 miles away and I had to go out to Californica so I could watch somebody that I haven't seen in over 10 years get married this past...

Hey Benjo, check your email too.

Just a thought since I have this experience freshly in my memory, but couldn't that brown have been facing downstream because that is the way the current was floating food to him in that particular...

I could be wrong, but it looks like deer hair to me. Elk hair would be another good option for this recipe. Looks like a thread body and ginger hackle complete the pattern.

First of all, repairing seam leaks is often very difficult because the leak is often not where you think it is. Seam leaks have this strange ability to travel down a seam and exit far away from the...

Sorry for the late reply, but Happy B-day Ron! Being just over the hill from you makes me feel somewhat guilty. I have never met you, but I really appreciate much of the info that you post around...

Steve,

Just where are casting that you need such a long cast? Before I can even wrap my mind around what's wrong with the haul I need to put myself there in my mind. :-)

Around here such...

So you want to be a pirate, eh? Sounds like you better get yourself a pirate name. Enjoy!

The Whitlock connection described above is simply amazing and well worth a try IMO. I've gotten lazy though and switched to leader links from Eagle Claw though. The Whitlock connection is...
