Welcome from western OK, land of carp and gar.
With over 60 years of fishing they all start to blend together and the large majority of my early trout were on worms, crawlers, spawn bags. However, one trout that really hooked me on fly fishing...
Yeah, it could get a lot better. If the darn would just jump when you hook them. They'll jump all over, and sometimes scare the hell out of you when they do it right behind you, but you're lucky if...
Planet Trout, good to point out the wader repair UV. I've only used the stuff designed for fly fishing and would assume something they label for wader repair is going to do the job. Thanx for...
Wonderful opportunity for the girls and you. Drop me a PM if you'd like a bunch of flies for the program. Just give me an idea of what you'd want and where to send them and be happy to help you out...
I have the 9' 8wt. and when I got it it was on sale plus you got a free Pflueger Medalist fly reel. I got a 1494 for another rod and put my 1495 on this one with an wf8f for throwing bigger bass...
I wanted a Kia Soul but wife had to have her Chev Captiva because of the good luck her sister has had with hers and the deals available since most of them come out of fleet use or rental use. Soul...
I really don't think it would work for wader repair. I use it a lot and it's not as bulletproof as epoxy. If you used it on waders you could probably just chip it right off. Better a product designed...
Used to drive into Washburn WI when the Green Bay Bugs (huge mayflies) hatched in force and town was dark from coverings of bugs on every lighted surface. Used to have to plow the bridges along Lake...
Amazing time you had. Thanx for bringing the excitement to the web and congrats on you wonderful trip.
Actually, if you want a left hand wind on a 1492 it can be done. I've done it on a couple but it was years ago. Unlike the video I took the line guard off, moved one of the other spacers to one of...
I was going to go with jims... suggestion on modifying the foot. If you're pretty sure you're going to keep the rod and reel together for some time then it should be no problem. Only problem if you...
dudley, what are you fishing with? Looks like a cigarette butt fly with a long black trailer of nymph back.
I have for years used the Uni-Knot for almost everything. I tie it, slide it down to where I want my loop and lock it in. I have caught some very large fish with this loop and the loop did not slide...
Yes, there is that link, but it has never been set up to use a paypal link yet. I've looked at it a couple of times for that. I did send an email to see if there is an email addy I can use for a...
Interesting thread. Comes up a lot on different board sites with different hobbies. I'm more of a middleman I guess. Believing you get what you pay for and having had to do with less than quality...
I make no videos. I write no books. I freeload on all the freebie sites I can. I do this because they're available and do not ask for anything...HOWEVER...I contribute to every site that asks for...
If you're not a tru purist about it and want to find some of the biggest crappies in the school, use a beadhead or clouser weighted for depth you're looking in. Use yellow or chartreuse and white...
I'm not sure what you're saying Jack. You're not talking about modifying a thread leader are you? Do you making a furled leader from light mono? I've used mono furled leaders and do not think they...
I have. Using an 8wt. graphite rod for steelhead and caught a 2# brookie. All I could think of was I wish I'd have caught that on my 3wt. bamboo.;)
I'm going to have do some reading up on this stuff but when you guys talk about 3-4-5wt. 2 handed rods those lines are not the same lines I'd be using on my 7'6" rods. You talk about shooting heads...
Spent many years fishing the driftless area of WI around Dodgeville when I lived in IL. Once the initial rush to catch off as many of the stocked rainbows was over the fishing and the room to fish...
I am in agreement that you should retain self-control financially. The ability to ward off sudden impulse purchases is hard for any of us. This is different tho. First, the medical can be put on...
If it's yours and keeping it and using are more important than future sales, a file will make any reel foot fit. Very few old reels that were actually used didn't end up with file marks to fit some...
