Thanks guys!

Sounds like I will not have to supplement too much. I have hundreds, if not thousands of small midges (18-24) and a good assortment of 18-22 PW Adams and BWOs. Might have to get...

Any advice on bugs you can expect to find in Western NC trout streams? Any websites with hatch charts, etc. you can point me to?

I am guessing smallish stuff... PW Adams, midges, etc.

Thanks!

Leaving for the Bahamas tomorrow. I plan on checking just about everything (which I did last year). Any recent flight stuff (within the last year) you feel like sharing is great. And yes, I know I...

I will be shin deep on a Bahama flat, hopefully casting to Mr. Bonefish!!!!! The over/under on the hours of sleep I will get tonight is 5. Mainly becase of the packing, red eye flight in the AM, and...

Gotchas still work. I have a whole box devoted to Gotchas. I tie them in a variety of sizes (2-6) with different eyes to be able to fish them in all different conditions.

Litehen,

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I plan on having all equipment available for inspection. So what size flies are you tying?

Found this link, and I THINK it answers my question. However saltwater flies are kinda different from trout flies...
...

Revisiting this topic...

What about size 2,4, and 6 hooks? Could those be carry on. I really want to avoid checking anything if I don't have to.

Spring winds can be TOUGH so be prepared for it!!!!

I would get a Top Spot map and look for some areas to drive up and wade in. If your schedule and budget allow, rent a kayak to greatly expand...

My family and our friends use [url=http://www.myharbourisland.com:7db87]www.myharbourisland.com[/url:7db87] to make our living arrangements. I have never rented a kayak on Harbour...

I heard through the grapevine that the TSA is about to (or already has) expanded the list of items you can carry on a plane when traveling. Does anyone have any information about this? I sure would...

to paradise. Harbour Island, Bahamas. Bonefish Joe (see Dick Brown's "Fly Fishing for Bonefish" for more info on Bonefish Joe Cleare) and I are hooking up for four days of flats fishing nirvana. ...

sounds like a pretty sweet gig! I hope you didn't think I was bustin' your chops. I guess I have been jonesin' for some trout fishing this morning and the closest trout is a two day car ride or a...

What do you think is the best do it yourself fly fishing trip and why. Let's say give one for fresh and saltwater. Also, let's assume no guide and no boat involved....

Tight lines,

Yesterday was beautiful. Absolutely stunning in my neck of the woods. Warm, breezy, and pretty much a day that calls one to go fishing. Unfortunately for me, my schedule did not allow much if any of...

What is the recipe for the bonefish pattern known as a "snapping shrimp"? Searched the internet and blanked... I figured you guys could help.

This month is flying by! The fly boxes are filling with puffs and shrimpfs and crazy charlies and gotchas and clousers... the bags are already packed with my fishing clothes... the tides have been...

Thanks splitditch!

yeah I have a recipe for the Nasty Charlie, and might tie up a couple for my trip. If I am blanking or if I want to catch a fish on a classic pattern I will probably give it a...

Man,

I had no idea that Charlie Waterman had passed away. I grew up reading his stuff and was a big fan... sad to hear indeed.

I wish I could say jumping mullet are a sign of predators.... Now if you see a school of them "get up" in a hurry, yeah there might be some trout or something getting at them underwater. However,...

Having never met the man,it's hard to say I know him. But if someone were to ask, I'd surley say I did.
I knew him like I know a cloud, a tree, a trout, a feather. You look and cherish while you can...

Al,

I too am glad you are back!

Warm regards,

St. Charles Bay is nice. I like to fish there but usually end up closer to Port A.

The way to catch reds without sight casting (ok, a GOOD way to catch lots) is to find a cut where the flats...
