I gave up tying many years ago. I was so bad at it that it wasn't any fun. So... I fish 0% of the time with flies I tie.
I have three Gatti rods, a 4wt. PA, a 5wt. PA, and a 6wt. TA. They are about the only rods I use any more. I haven't had any break, and i guess that can be a problem. As far as fishing goes, I...
I have a 7wt. e-Rod 4 that I've used for smallies for five years or so, and I like ir a lot. It casts well, and I've never had a bit of trouble with it.
I'm another Gatti fan; my favotite is my FR 905 3PA.
Over the years I've managed to get good deals on four regular Tetons, so I never bought a Tioga. What are the differences between the two, besides price?
What a wonderful photograph. Thank you for sharing it.

Most of the trout I catch are 10" long or less so I don't think it makes much difference to me.

I think I've mentioned this before, but let me say it again, "I HATE WINTER!!!"
Have a great day everyone.

I'm not sure it's the smallest fish I ever caught, (I've been fishing fot 65+ years), but last spring, I caught a 3" long Silver Shiner on a 3" long white Zonker.

My oldest stepdaughter is getting married in two weeks, outdoors. I think we're pretty certain to get rain here in northeast PA on that day. ... 8)
One of our neighbors had is first colonoscopy at age 50, a month of so ago. They found some serious tumors. He's had surgury, and they're doing all the appropriate treatment, but the outlook isn't...
I'm ashamed, I missed one, and I was a high school science teacher for 35 years. My only excuse is that I've been retired for seven years.

Flyandtie,
That sounds like the one I have. I like it.

For many years I wore a Doug Swisher vest that I bought from him somewhere around 1985. Then, unfortunately I put on a few pounds, (more than a few if the truth be told) and I had to find something...
My prayers too go out to you and your family. I can't imagine what you must be going through.
May God be with you,

I joined 6+ years ago. In a month I'll have my 69th birthday. At my age, I can't be expected to remember something that I did more than six years ago, or this morning for that matter. All I know...
It looks interesting to me, I'm thinking of switching over to Toobies this year. I've heard they work well, but I have no first hand experience ... yet.

My choice would be Doug Swisher. I took some instruction from him, and had him as a Guide six or seven times on trips to Montana in the 80s. Amazing fisherman, and a heck of a nice guy.

I asked Santa for a 3wt., a 5wt., and a 7wt., in silver to match the new Ferrari that I also asked him for.
Bob ... :P
Eric,
What weight is your sink tip?

I got up early today, planning to head for Roscoe. First thing I did was to look at Catskill Flies report on conditions. They said that due to the heavy rains, both the Beaverkill and the Willow...
A number of years ago I lived at a small lake in northern New Jersey. One evening after all the swimmers had left, I went across the street to the beach to do a little fishing. On one of my first...
Just a week to go. I'm looking foreward to it.
