I have a great opportunity to spend 7 days this summer canoeing in the boundary waters of northern Minnesota/southern Canada with a scout troop. Anyone have any experience fishing up there?

I live in Greensboro, and make it to the coast when I can. We go to Sunset beach fairly often, which is unfortunately not the best place in the world to fish, but there are days when it is okay. I...

I caught a 5 lb. largemouth on my 3 weight yesterday, from the bank. You can handle a decent sized fish, though of course not in heavy cover. I had a 3x (8 lb) tippet on .

I used size 8 and 10...

I tie in about 10--12 ostrich herl, then a slider head like a gurgler with the lip cut off. Not too exciting to look at, but it works exetremly well.

I have been trying to post a picture of the upside down muddlers (without dumbell eyes, they are neutral density) but my camera isn't cooperating. Anyway, it is a standard marabou muddler, but tied...

One of best bass and panfish flies--I tie a fairly sparse marabou muddler body (upside down) with a strip of lead on the top of the hook, and then I tie a relatively sparse deer hair head and trim it...

Thanks for all the great feedback (so far). I have some tying to do. I think I have been fishing too small a fly, maybe, size 10 or so for the most part. I did manage to hook a really nice bass on...

I know there are a few of us on here that use light rods, 4 wt and under. I like to use a 3 weight. I am wondering what type and size of flies do you ultralighters use when you are targeting bass? ...

Well, thanks for the input. I think I will try a full floater over labor day, when I am at the beach. Sunset Beach in southern NC, if anyone else goes down that way. I may try to fish off of a...

I was looking at Ken Abrahm's website, Striper Moon, last night and ran across a self-described "rant" in which Ken said that floating lines were far superior to sinking or intermediate lines in the...

My favorite fly is usually the one I just caught something on :D . My favorite topwater is made with a foam head, gurgler style but with the lip cut off, and 6 or 8 strands of black ostrich herl for...

My last trip out, I was fishing with a size 10 sparrow, which was under 2 inches long. I hooked a BIG bass that wound up breaking my line. There were a lot of small fry in the shallows, which the...

That looks a lot like a patter by Lou Tabory called the Tabory Slabside. It is designed to fished with a sinking line, so that it bobs up and down as you strip it in. Besides creating a wide...

I remember Homer Circle, in an OLD Sports Afield article, talk about Glen Lau filming him and reporting that bass were hitting his lures without him feeling anything on the line.

I have had...

I would definately head to the South fork of the New River here in NC.

Mr. Gartside mentions that he uses Gurglers (and variations like the Gartside bug) for trout. Any one out there tried it? And will admit to it?

Thanks for the replies. As I said, it was so windy when I tried one that I had to constantly keep the boat pointing into the wind to get anywhere, and it was not easy to figure out what the paddle...

Anyone out there tried bent shaft paddles before? They are supposed to make lake paddling much more efficient, because it keeps your paddle perpendicular to the canoe a lot longer than a regular...

Well, send me your email and I will let you know how I did this weekend if I don't get rained out. If I do real well, I will let the whole list know, of course.

Do you have anywhere you like to fish in Guilford Co. or nearabouts? I may try Guilford-Macintosh this weekend, or maybe Cane Creek. I am looking for a non-powerboat lake with sufficient sight or...

I have never personally tried either one, but from what I have heard and read online and observed from driving by, the Eno is definately wadeable. It is a fairly rocky stream, small, with a fair...

I guess my question is to some extent academic, as I don't often fish for trout and when I do I like to use the "trout flies" that I like to tie but usually only use on bluegills.

But it is...

Here is a crazy question, asked because I have recently seen it discussed on other boards and in a Fly Fish America. Do any of you use poppers for trout? It seems to me that they should work for...

Most of the flounder I have caught on the fly have been in the wash (the section of the surf where the white water/waves roll in and out) or on the steep shelf where the beach first drops off into...

Sure, I'd love to http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/smile.gif How do I go about doing that?
