I was actually planning to keep the same number of guides, but reduce the number of traditional bent wire snake guides and increase the number of guides with an SIC insert. Sorry for the poor...

Hi Friends - It's been too long since my last post. Fortunately or unfortunately I haven't spent nearly as much time in front of the computer...

Needless to say I'd like your input. I'm building...

That looks almost exactly like an HI Governor. I've actually had three of those and they all look exactly like that...minus the whole "western special" part. I also recall the HI rods having a...

Exact same place actually. We hiked over a few ranges and picked up the trail along the middle fork about half way between the airfield and that parking lot. I was actually there about the same...

Hey Jeff
I did something similar last summer. I would suggest the middle fork (where I was) or the south fork. We were technically in the great bear wilderness, not the national park. These are...

That really was fantastic. Thank you so much Marcelo. It won't be anytime soon, but I will be fishing patagonia someday...

I don?t think that they do?at least not often. Trout can?t perceive detail like we can. I heard Gary Borger use the following analogy. A hawks vision is 300x more detailed than a humans, hence its...

Jim - WOW! That thing is beautiful...I hope to do the same in a few years...just need a better work area. How did you decide on the taper? Had you cast something similar before?? Great to see...

Dollars to Donuts says it's probably that DT line. Try it out with a WF and I bet you will get the distance back. After you perhaps prove it to yourself though...put that DT back on and lawn cast...

I think most people need to shift gears when it comes to the scents. Its not putting something on to attract the fish...its not putting something on that will scare them away. There are plenty of...

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I didn't even think about the local opportunities! I'm trying to get a group of friends invested in doing this every year. I think, for some reason, that doing...

I need some help identifying a location for a trip I?m planning this summer. The plan is to float for about 6/7 days?.one important factor is the ability to camp along the way. I?m not looking to a...

Hey Jeff
There are a ton of waters around Gettysburg that are worth fishing. Your closest choice would be the conewago. Fishing there was slow towards the end of the summer. That stream has...

I couldn't believe that my 3rd favorite quote of all time was in Neil Travis's post this week. It was left unfinished though....so I would like to add the final line.

"The slogan 'press on' has...

I'm pretty sure that something like this is already underway. I was discussing this same concept with someone not to long ago at a show...a field review for all gear not just rods (which I agree are...

Hey Everyone.
I'm heading up to Maine for a week with some friends. While this isn't a fishing focused trip, I'm going to be focusing a lot on fishing. I will be spending a week on Moose Pond,...

A 4wt two hander would be pretty intense. I just want to try out the two tip models. They have one tip for presentation, and one for (i guess) high line speed. I suppose the latter would be a bit...

No, no, that totally helps. I used that when I was teaching someone the other week! Except it was my hand...not their own. Really got the concept across for them. I would highly suggest trying...

He's no Survivorman. Lee Stroud does it all himself. That is substantially more hard core. He also makes some seriously asinine decisions...like the time he climbed down the vine on the waterfall....

pspaint. I've only been up once; last year. It was kind of a suicide run. Up on Thursday night, fish all day Friday, then a five hour drive home. I was very much out of my league...didn't really...

Yes sir, definitly in your neck of the woods. Would you agree with the following statement. "lighter rods need better reels with better drags".

This has kind of been a conversation between a...

This is a great thread, and thank you for that article. I've often wondered about this. I'm in the "smarter than we give them credit" category. Let me give you an example using the Letort, a...

Describe your perfect set up for me. I will be fishing on the east coast, mostly in NY. Last year I took a 9ft 8wt with a pretty light reel. I felt very under matched. I'm thinking if I stay...

These are awesome suggestions everyone!

I love the UT pictures by the way, that place is definitely making the list!

I know that there have got to be more places out there, so keep them coming!

I?m looking to get a list together of all wilderness fly-fishing destinations. Ok, maybe not all, but as many as possible. I?m basically trying to plan some type of tandem fishing and...
