Check out www.blueribbonflies.com, lots of info for that area. Have a great trip.

Sorry, forgot to mention one very important point. The fresh water lagoons are loaded with gators so leave your tube home.

Where you stay will determine the areas available to fish and the type of fishing you can get in to. The island is broken up in to numerous plantations and all have restricted access.

All of the...

Great info, especially about the newer Deet replacement products. Bounce fabric softener sheets are also another option. Wipe a dry one over your exposed skin and stick one in each pocket. If they...

How about some pics of the new hole in the water?

Great article, you always seem to be able to blend a smile in to the message. Way to turn a negative in to a positive. Was the little boat a Gheenoe?

Wind blew so hard took the foam right off the head of the glass...lucky I had backup. Never got to fish at all so busy ended up I didn't have the time.

Wheatley makes a tube fly box. It is shown in the latest Stone River Outfitters catalog. [url=http://www.stoneriveroutfitters.com:49d41]www.stoneriveroutfitters.com[/url:49d41]

Thanks Senor Dude. Appreciate the response. Been the same lousy weather here in the Lowcountry. Be great if the wind dies down if not have to break out the baitcasters.

Anybody got an idea whats happening around the inlet from the beach. North or South side? Inside or outside? Only going to have a couple of late afternoons to fish so any help appreciated. Thanks,...

Dude, much to your benefit you don't know me but I am always willing to help out the downtrodden long rodder I happen upon. I would mbe willing to help you out with a little ready cash and take the...

I'm sure it's not the case in all areas but it is illegal in the fly only areas in Maine. Cost a buddy 250.00 and all he did was move from one side of a pond to the other with his fly dragging along....

It's is called GloYarn and is white. It works great for parachute posts and any other application to flys that have a lot of floss or thread exposed on the body. Put a light on it and it glows in the...

I use an older Makita cordless drill and it is also pretty heavy but I found that if I just lay it down on its' side at the bottom of my board it works quite well. I also use a small spring...

I live in southern South Carolina and have been a furlaholic for about a year. I love them and make them from many different materials then pass them along to all who will listen.

I have a TFO 7 wgt TiCr and, IMHO, it is a great rod for me and they are a greeat company. I broke the tip and for 25.00 had it back in a week like, if not new. There is a difference between the 2...

Another option [url=http://www.creekcompany.com:4fd1f]www.creekcompany.com[/url:4fd1f]

I have searched many stores looking for punch yarn and have gotten nothing but strange looks. In its place I have been using Craft Yarn from Wallworld, it is multi stranded so the size can be reduced...

Sounds like a great idea, one borrowed from the bait fisherman. What would be an example of the type material used for the peg?

------------------

I'm with Mr. Jim on this, most of the time I rig them the same way. Another way that I use, depending on the sie of the flys I'm using, is to leave a very long tag end in the tippet and after tying...

I believe that these types of foam are closed cell so it doesn't really defeat the float quality of the material by twisting while wrapping. It appears more dense but actually puts more material on...

Funny this should come up now. I just signed up my granddaughter, aged 9 1/2, for the begginers fly fishing class at my local Bass Pro. She has been spin fishing for a while and I thought this would...

That is really a neat setup. I would bet that the covering material is some sort of a heat shrink plastic.

------------------

If you want to fish freshwater the only public access is in Jarvis Park, near the schools on the island. If you are staying in one of the plantations there is a load of lagoons, both fresh and salt....

Well said Jim. Thanks for all your fine contributions throughout the years. And of course my hopes for a happy, healthy and safe 2006.
