I believe these things are called pool noodles, they are the round colored things you see at the front of Wall-Mart for about five bucks. This time of year you have to go online to get them; I am...

Yakima makes rack mounts called Hully Rollers that are rollers that attach to a rack. This allows the boat to be rolled on from the rear if that is feasable from your vehicle. Also there is a...
I've paddled a tandem in Puerto Rico and it was fine; type in kayak review and get to paddlenet. Almost everything is reviewed non comercially and you may find what you want used. Initial stability...
Along with the previous post. Staying warm can be a matter of nutrition and hydration. It is very easy to get dehydrated at altitude, like in Colorado, so drink enough to urinate every couple of...
I would think it depends on the length of the pontoon. The really short boats sold at Bass Pro and such would be much good past class 3. There are longer pontoon boats that do just fine in big...
I haven't used a top of the line rod (i.e., expensive) but I have found the TFO rods to do what their info says they will at a moderate price. They have a 2 piece 5 weight.
My instructor saw fis attractant as; "you might as well use bait.." with an implication of 'if your that low I can't help you.' He was of the school that floating flies are most sporting and so...
I read the article about fish attractants. I have just gotten back from a class on how to Fly Fish for trout, this was a really good idea by the way. I was told that on catch and release rivers one...
I agree the Ocoee would be insane. There are some small streams in that area that it might make more sense in. I was actually thinking of the White River in Arkansas when I wrote the post.
When I went to school 15' ment 15 feet, maybe things have changed. I started kayaking when white water boats were 13;9; I seem to remember this was the official salom length. I have some short...
When I was a lot younger there were a couple of fellows that were supposed to be "top paddlers" in the coutry that drowned on easy rivers. Looking at stats on easy rivers most of the drownings are...
Any thought about life jackets that double as fishing vests?
Outdoor Pride in Oklahoma has a product that does about the same thing differently. It attaches at knee and ankle. there is a cloth that goes over front of leg that expands as leg goes backward and...
As I thought about my reply there was one more thing I would like to say. Pointing your flippers at what you would want to avoid would work if your back wasn't pointed directly upstream. Then you...
still haven't got the spell checker to work and it probly wouldn't of caught it anyways.
It would amount to the same manuver with out understanding why it worked. Think of a sail in the wind or a plane landing w/ a cross wind or a boat in a current; all the same. The other thing is I...
As I have looked around I don't see articles on tubing on rivers. Given the normal direction of kicking, I.e., backward, one would face down stream and ferry to get to where you want to go. The...
Trying to pay back some of what I am getting. Considering doing some on moving water cause I have been surfing waves in my kayak and seen the fish sitting behind the rock causing the wave.
...
Am considering getting back into fly tying. My back story is that I tied flys as a kid and never got to go fly fishing. Well I'm heading toward retirement and have a Visa Card. What about the...
Seems there is interest in Kayaks so here is some more to think about. I agree that high performance kayaks have little to do with fishing unless you want to get somewhere that is a ways away and...
Thanks for the info. I find myself googling and youtubing to find out what is being talked about; a llearning moment.
I fish for bass and trout in Oklahoma. It would be nice to change out leaders quickly. I have a TFO rig. My line didn't come w/ loops. I am considering making my own loops per discussion in...
Whatever comes w/ TFO 8 weight rod cause that seemed a good place to start per bass pro sales.
I really worry about folks that get into boats with no appreciation of what it takes to be safe. What comes to mind was a gentleman that bought a sit on top with a log of freeboard (plastic sides...
I am new to flyfishing but not new to kayaks. If you like to have things spread around and particularly if you want to stand up then a sit on top is for you. If you plan to cover any distance,...
