The folks over at Kayakfishingstuff.com are not predominantly flyfishers, but they know their kayaks. It's a great place to learn:

I have been thinking about that. I don't know any flyfishing equipment that costs that much, but I could picture a great rod or reel--something that was exquisitely made and would last for decades. ...

I live in Louisville as well.

My favorite place to flyfish is the Cumberland, but It is too far away from Louisville to be my only option. I love fishing for bluegills in the Spring--I've had...

I know Simms makes incredible stuff. In the Fly Fish America 2007 gear guide there is a great feature on how Simms makes waders.

The G4's have some really nice features. What surprised me was...

I understand that guide-level waders are made for folks who use them everyday and are thus quite expensive. But these Simms G4 waders seem like a quantum leap--$700?

Any thoughts on what would...

Thanks for the replies. I'll definitely call the fly shop in Birmingham. It appears the best trout fishing nearby is the tailwaters of Smith Lake about an hour north of Birmingham. There is a...

I'm going to be in Birmingham June 15-22 or so. I'm not going to have much free time, but thought I'd check if there was any good flyfishing in the neighborhood of any variety.

Sure. I'm not trying to jump all over 555. I bought some here on "for sale" board last summer. Fellow used it a few times and didn't like it. I started using it, and I haven't liked it too much...

I searched FAOL--there is disagreement on the topic, but several folks experienced excessive coiling with 555 that wasn't solved by stretching.

Ray,

It is my recollection that I have read on FAOL that others have experienced that 555 is particularly difficult on memory. I do stretch it out, but it has more memory than my 333 or the...

I really like the newfangled fly lines, slick and high floating, but not the memory. I have Cortland 555, but the memory drives me nuts. The new 555 with Dyna tip supposedly has no memory. Any...

I went with a church group to a private lake/pond today for a fishing outing. For most of the time I used my standard Foam hopper with nymph dropper. Most of the time when I use this rig the hopper...

A couple of observations:

1) I am sure that there are incremental improvements in quality among the most expensive reels. And I am sure that one can justify the cost of a very expensive reel with...

I think Titanium is heavier than aluminum, but because it is harder and stronger one can use a lot less of it. Specific weight refers to the weight of the substance, not the weight of the reel. ...

Truer words were never posted on a website:

"This reel is exclusively featured by [url=http://www.Ultimateflyfishing.com:ac612]www.Ultimateflyfishing.com[/url:ac612] on the US market at an...

Titanium reels seem like a bargain to me!
...

I heard Cabelas just came out with a whole new line of Titanium reels.

BTW, the boycott Cabelas website just makes me want to put in an order today. Reading between the lines: an employee was involved in a white supremacist anti-imigration rally. Said employee is...

Fl_skibum,

Your link for the item on Cabelas comes up with a blank. If you search for "truck bed extender" (the description on Harbor Freight) on Cabelas website it returns an ATV carrier for...

When my local fly shop/tackle shop recommended adding scent I balked. His response: you're already fly-fishing for CATFISH--it's not like you're being a purist.

Olive/black BH wooly bugger, let it sink and strip slow. You might also consider the use of WARNING adding scent WARNING if you are having trouble getting strikes.

I used 8 lb test mono with no...

I can't imagine they would be loud like Jet-skis--completely different kinds of applications. Here is a quotation from their letters page on the website, for what it is worth:

"I am able to hover...

The upshot is that there are two reasons most people who practice C&R do it:

1) To renew the resource. We don't want to ruin the supply of fish we want to catch for sport.
2) Because they...

I believe the Nor-Vise is a:

Really, Really Rotary Vise.

I hesitate to think of what Nor-Vices are.

Uptroutfshr,

You are quoting outside diameters. For this kind of claim, no marketing department would be using outside diameters.
