I just saw this. Sorry for your loss. My condolences to you
Thanks Neil, I just hit the 60 mark this year and been having trouble with it. Thanks for showing the positive!!
Bill,
+1 to Kytroutbum about bringing all flies and equipment with you. Tie up clouser minnows with orange & black, red/black and the standard olive/white char/white.
At Oregon Inlet there is an...
Great article Neil, I had a Grandpa that showed how to fish and hunt and I still have the rod and a 20ga shotgun that he had bought for me.
He too showed me more than fishing, and taught about life.
Njtroutbum, Yes I have had the same service from Orvis. I have the Dan vIse that I purchased from Orivs and the Jaws got marred up from tying saltwater patterns. The sent me a new set of jaws at no...
I use only the simple stone flies now too. Brooks stone and rubber legged style. If you want to use a simple wing case, I use swiss straw for the wing case.
I fish in NJ in either Raritan Bay or Barnegat Bay area for blues, striped bass, and flounder
I could say worse then bologna, but this is a family board. I agree with fishbum. This nonsense is not new. salt water anglers have been dealing with this for awhile with NOAA.
I believe this...
I agree with Kelly, this nothing more than a snagging system disguised as fly fishing.
Neil, no it's not just you!! I feel the same as you. I donot use(bobbers), OH sorry strike indicators when nymph fishing. I learned how to detect strikes by watching the end of the fly line. Do I...
FAOL is one of the best ff sites on the web. a wealth of information and friendship. I do not even subscribe to the ff mags any more. More and better info right here

I have caught sharks down in Outer Banks. The guides flies were red and orange zonker strips. The rabbit strip was then wrapped up to the eye with some red flash
The sharks were brought in to the...
Lew, the ausable ugly is a NY pattern that uses coyote for the tail and in the body.
How old was you? 17
What kind of rod? Cortland 7ft 5wt fiberglass cortland reel
Where did you go? NJ River the Musconetcong
Who with? High school friend who started me fly fishing
What...
I have been told by fishing guides that the least amount of turns in fluoro the better. Fluoro will cut into it self causing a weak connection.
Rich, I have found that I donot like streamers tied on circle hooks. They do seem to cause you to miss fish. I am fishing salt water here and normally you use a strip strike to set the hook. I do not...
I tie a lot of clousers for salt water and the one I like for this is the clouser half and half, which uses saddle hackle. It is a cross between the clouser and deceiver
I use a 9ft 8wt on the NY tribs for steelhead so I would think the clouser rod should be ok. Check what size the tribs are as the smaller ones you may not need an 8wt
Joe, My friend uses a 10ft 7wt for steelhead in the lake Ontario tribs with no problems.
I have a redington RS3 10wt which I like. The RS3 was replaced by the RS4 Pretty fast action on this rod.
What deer hair are you using? I use the hair from the top of a bucktail. This hair at the top is not as hollow as the hair at the bottom of the tail or deer body hair. This hair at the top of the...
New Hampshire is refering to the 10th amendment to the US constitution which basically gives the states certain rights. This is what actually was the start of the Civil War.
Your article brings back memories of me and my cousins shooting rats and ground hogs in my grandfather's corn field. We use BB guns .177 pellet guns, and .22 rifles with shorts. Those rats even...
I am also a fan of the orvis tippit knot. I have not had any problems with this knot.
