Merry Christmas all!

it will be sorely missed.

I have an Orvis Unsanded Superfine 8'3" 3wt Western I would part with. The Westerns are more of a Medium 3-to-4wt.

I have been fishing micro-swivels with all of my nymph and streamer leaders for 4-5 years now. Would not switch. I use 4-5' tippet for nymphs, and about 2' for streamers.

If you listen....they will tell you what they want. ;)

Great points! Paying attention is half the game.

Love that fly!!

I have an Orvis Western 8'3" 3wt 1988 vintage Superfine (Wood reel seat) in excellent condition. Would like to trade for the same vintage rod but the 8'6" 6wt Limestone or 8' 6wt Trout model in...

I fish from a tube and tend to fish a Gurgler style pattern and don't really retrieve. I slap the fly into small openings, let it sit for a second, then switch it just enough to show life. After...

Paddy, Thanks much, good to be back more! Things have been hectic, but settling down a bit. :)

I have been using a grey SA Frequency Boost WF5F on a glass 7'6" 5wt, and older Superfine Far-and-Fine 7'9" 5wt and a faster 9' 5wt Cabelas LST . It is turning out to be a great line. One that I...

Neil, So sorry to hear. Prayers for you and yours and may God provide comfort in Ladyfisher's passing. She's casting a grand loop over us all.

Ralph

Prayers for the best.

If I told you it might could cause you to have to move here.....and nobody really "wants" to move to Jersey. I couldn't live with that on my conscience. :)

Suffice to say, the largest bluegill...

Free Beer?....is it only free in the daylight? I have nothing against drinking beer in the dark. Just sayin'.

That's why I said, I too do not care for mono-thread furled leaders for warmwater as well....just offering an option :)

I use a 7wt, and a 6wt rod for bass. I would say no more than 50 yards of 30# backing. I honestly have NEVER seen backing on any of my warmwater rigs. I prefer hand-twisting my own bass leaders...

Really nice Byron. Great memory captured.

Norm, that's Prit'near perfect!

Nicely done Norm!

I've been buying the blue and black neoprene cases off of EBAY for $4 each for years now.

As are most all of his patterns,this one in particular does well coast-to-coast.
