I can attest that Marty (ToughGuy) knows a lot about fishing the SNP, so take him at his word if he says the conditions are not good. Marty put me onto some nice fish a couple of springs ago.

I have had some of my best days either while it is raining, or just after. No better time to chuck streamers in my opinion. I typically don't cast dries, although I might try what others have...

I don't post on this board often, as I live back east. I do enjoy the reports, and do browse the tying board from time to time.
I had a "personal best" experience this past weekend and wanted to...

Thanks for all of the feedback. Fly Goddess, thanks for the nice offer. I just might take you up on it! I'll check back with everyone when we have the plans and date set.

Hi Folks,

My wife has been bugging me about planning a long weekend getaway. Since I have the best wife in the world, she actually tries to HELP me plan our trips around fishing. We have a free...

Thanks for all of the good information. Now a follow up after watching a couple more videos and did some more reading.

1. Do you wrap the copper wire in the opposite direction of the pheasant...

I am very new to fly tying, and I figured I would start out tying some nymphs that work well on my home water, the Gunpowder, in Maryland...pheasant tails and hares ear. I got a video with my kit...

Nice report. I remember the first trout I caught on a fly. I haven't started to tie my own yet, so that is still to come. That first pic looks like a red breasted sunfish. The stream version of a...

I got into fly fishing a little over a year ago, and yes I am hooked. I think I am ready to take the next step into tying my own flies. My question is about a table, most specifically the height. ...

Judging from the belly on that first fish, there is plenty of forage in that hole! Beautiful fish. I have a trip scheduled to visit my brother in Central PA and hit a brookie stream or two...can't...

I have to ask...what's with the Oriole's hat? I'm in the Baltimore area, and the baseball's not very good in these parts. I can't imagine you see many O's hats on the Big Lost!

Looks like a bitch creek.

Nothing like stream smallies on the surface. My local water is a little smaller than yours, and the smallies top out at about 13 inches, but there are lots in the 9 - 11 inch range. What were you...

That's funny. I fished in the park last October and stopped in the shop. Of course I bought some trudes! And if you read his book, in almost every stream he mentions the trude as an effective...

Nice loop!

Ditto what ScottP said about Parks Fly Shop. If you are in Gardner, stop by and pick up Richard Parks' book "Flyfishing Yellowstone." He literally lists every stream and river in the park, the best...

Marty,

I appreciate the offer, and I just might take you up on that!

I'm 2 weeks late with this report, but I wanted to post it anyway. We went out with a guide on the Susquehanna Flats on the Chesapeake Bay for stripers. 3 of us, plus the guide. We brought 10 fish...

We made the trip there in June last year, and we inquired with a guide about fly fishing. He told us that the opportunities are somewhat limited that time of year. He said the best time for fly...

Hey panfisha,

That could be any number of the smaller streams I fish in Maryland. Is that Baltimore/Harford county, or Howard/Montgomery/Anne Arundel?

That's it precisely. By the way Quill, no pics since it was pouring down rain all day. I have a cheapy Kodak point and shoot digital and a Nikon D40 SLR, but I wouldn't have taken either of them...

Had my first opportunity to fish for wild brookies last week. I am new to fly fishing, since last summer, and I have been trying to add to my resume. After doing some research and getting some good...

Beautiful fish. What do they feed on in that stream? That first fish has a full belly!

Byron,

I would like to echo most of what Buddy says, and add some of my own commentary.



I was in the same boat with you as I learned those knots, but Buddy is right...you really need to...
