Hey-

I'm always interested in trying new fly lines, it amazes me how differently they can cast.

I am now after a new floating line and I'm interested in the so-called "quick-loading"...

Great info, everyone. Thanks!!!

When using loop to loop connection between flyline and backing, what loop knot do people use in the backing?

Stop in at the Backcountry on U.S. 1 in Vero Beach. They'll be glad to help.

where are you?

Without a boat, you have two options (miles of fishing, tho)....the beach and the flats. Nice thing is that they are on the opposite sides of A1A. I like to fish the ocean side when the wind is...

thanks for the advice!!

Great patterns to work on- great thread....thanks again.

what about this one?

can anyone explain to me how you get that head-shape? It looks like a bunch of hair is laid in there somehow and then sculpted with scissors.

It is nearly time for the annual mullet run in my part of Florida (Treasure Coast)- I was wondering what patterns people are using to imitate finger mullet. Prior to this time of

Hey- how is it poling by yourself? Or do you just paddle when you are solo?

can you describe what you do when you transition from pole to rod?

The shortest fish you can keep in Florida is 28". That's enough meat to feed at least 5.

They are wonderful eating, and they definitely can be overharvested. Poaching is, in my opinion, rampant...

a 4-weight? that is just awesome!!

thanks for sharing

my favorite topic!!

Its not always the most productive place to fish, but it can be the most exciting. I fly fish the surf on Florida's East Coast as well. I'll be honest, though I am fairly new...

I definitely get the gill cover idea, but the inside of a snook's mouth is incredibly abrasive as well. I don't think tying the fly 1/4 back on the hook is going to prevent break-offs. It may,...

or should the picture be enough to tell what's going on? seems like some saddle hackle and crystal flash tied on the bend....with some hackle wrapped up on the shank....

what's the significance...

Are there tying instructions for that fly anywhere? Looks nice.

beach snook on the FL east coast is the reason I started fly fishing! We don't have as many sight-fishing opportunities; you have to learn the times and the places to blind cast (I call it likely...

thanks- there's a few posts there. I'll keep reading.....

looks like the idea is to find structure as the beaches are mostly shallow sloping sand...

hard to find pinpoint info on where to...

Just found out we'll be visiting some family on Hilton Head island for the weekend. Think I'll sneek out of the house real early in the a.m. to fish. Not sure exactly where I will be staying but...
