Florida Keys Recomendation In category Fly Fishing Written by TGL My wife thinks a few days in the Florida Keys would be a nice vacation from what other people have said about how nice it is. I hear fishing is good not matter what key you chose. What Key with a 50 mile radius has the most flexibility for sight seeing? After the selection, I'll get back with recomendations for fishing?

Wader Wars the first battle In category Fly Fishing Written by canterbury First a preliminary comment or two. I'm hard on equipment. Not intentionally, just am, always have been ( example ... the bumper of my truck fell off a couple days ago .. not rusted out or damaged, I just drove so many bumpy places the bolts vibrated loose ). I believe things should do what they were sold to do, and that you shouldn't have to mince around all fearful of scratching, or hurting,

OT, surviving the Breeders Cup In category Fly Fishing Written by ekim1234 In the midst of my annual attack on the racetrack(via remote betting account). Thus far, having wagered tens of times this amount, I am up $22.40. Am taking the selection of second-place horses to an art form. Thank God for place wagering!!!

Late Rock Creek Arrival In category Fly Fishing Written by Princess Buttercup It looks like I'll be able to make it, probably Monday night and staying for Tuesday and Wednesday before going down to Yellowstone to meet Meg's brother's family from Chicago. We hope to camp, will it be tough to find a spot for a tent? Where should we try first? I may not respond to this right away because we're heading to Idaho to fish the Lochsa through Sunday morning.

Hazy future for Black Canyon In category Fly Fishing Written by eggowaffles Hazy future for Black Canyon August 23, 2003 For 2 million years, the roaring, relentless Gunnison River gouged through 2,000 feet of dark volcanic rock, sculpting the foreboding geologic marvel that is the Black Canyon in southwestern Colorado. Now, just four years after Congress declared the majestic landscape a national park, the same raging spring flows that carved the canyon appear to be i

Roff clothing idea? In category Fly Fishing Written by TempestDra Whatever happened to the plan for getting some high-quality fishing shirts with the ROFF logo embroidered over the pocket?

News tidbit from Altmar, NY In category Fly Fishing Written by HackerSp0rtZ It's getting tough to get a lodging reservation in the Salmon River (NY) area for the Fall salmon run. So tough, in fact, that we were shut out of our usual place (Malinda's) more than 11 months in advance of our desired date. The Portly Angler was also a no-go. On a recommendation from I-don't-remember-where, we secured reservations at the Fish Inn Post in Altmar. Fast forward to today. Fi
Whitemans Creek Essay In category Fly Fishing Written by Krenn It's taken me a while to come around to this little creek. Were it not for it's numerous cold water springs, the creek would be very untrout-like. Meandering along its low gradient path, it's a collection of very deep. slow pools linked by gentle shallow riffles. Some pools have at their head, an underground spring that adds it's freshness to a stream that runs colder and cleaner at it's mouth t
Coast of Maine - Labor Day Week Report (long) In category Fly Fishing Written by BlackArrow Back in February, my wife booked a cottage in Maine for our Labor Day vacation. She said that the house was right on the water and I could fish every day. I fish almost exclusively for trout and the biggest outfit I had was a 5 wt. So I told her that I would need to "invest" in some heavier gear to the tune of about $500 for rod, reel, line, etc. She said, "So go ahead." (She has no problem s
shake-offs In category Fly Fishing Written by click2hug I had several instances over the weekend where some nice sized fish shook off the fly resulting in long distance releases. I'm curious what would be the most common cause of this, i.e.: poor hookset, not enough/too much line tension, dull hook, etc. Regarding sharpening, I've read that many of you routinely sharpen the hook each time before you tie on the fly, but I've just been sharpening them a

Questions on Redington CT (click and pawl) reel In category Fly Fishing Written by CarlosEberhardt In my quest to join the ranks of gearwhores, I decided to get a 3-wt outfit to add to my 5, 6 and 8. After reading favorable reviews I opted for the Temple Forks 7'6" 3-wt and a Redington CT. I got both in yesterday, and rigged up to do some lawn-fishing. It appears the CT isn't right or left "handed". It has what looks to be a matching pair of spring and pawls, so I'm guessing it doesn't r
dry fly and dropper question In category Fly Fishing Written by vatte So I use a indicator on my line (floating line of my fly reel) where the line meets tapper leader (4.7 pounds), dry fly at end of tapper, 2 to 3 feet of 4 pound leader with a split shot or two in middle, and then a nymph at the end. My question is my dry fly always disapears, do I have to catch fish by setting the hook by site or can I just use the visual from the indicator? All the fish I have
East Lake, OR In category Fly Fishing Written by justdaemon For the sixth consecutive year, Hermaidenname and I are going to vacation in Central OR, relaxing at the ranch of a friend between Prineville and Bend. I usually get to fish three or four of the days for varying periods of time and have spent most of this time plunking around on the Crooked and Metolius and the Deschutes at Mecca Flats.

Micro-Patterns In category Fly Fishing Written by Seanaphish Really, I have to stop flirting with these little things and strike up a serious relationship. The usual rituals have been performed, bought the books, the hooks, tied up tricos and nits, knotted ridiculous lengths of 7X, but after a date or two, the infatuation dies and the dalliance ends. There's not a shred of doubt in my mind that late season fishing on flat water, over fish that have been o

Rod / Reel Recommendation for newbie In category Fly Fishing Written by oongowa I recently decided to get into fly-fishing (at the age of 30). I have fished all my life off and on and especially when I was younger growing up in Spokane WA and Hackcock County KY. After a recent trip to TN and fishing the Buffalo river for bass (using spinners), it hit me. I have totally lost touch with nature and those 2 days camping on the river made a deep impression on me. I moved to S
Moving beyond the "indicator, split shot and nymphs&quo In category Fly Fishing Written by Yodergd Hi U All, There is a time when you need to think about moving on. When you are always catching more fish than anyone else on the stream with your "indicator, split shot nymphs system" you might think about trying some real fly fishing? If I wanted to cast a bunch of "junk" all day, I would have stayed with spin fishing. This situation is not being helped by some (I said some, not all) of the f
Loop-to-Loop Connection In category Fly Fishing Written by WyzWun I am new to fly fishing and having difficulty mastering the art of knot tying, I have been advised to use a Loop-to-Loop connection to tie the leader to the line. The problem is because of the thickness of the butt section of the leader (store-bought tapered leader) I can't seem to be able to make a smaller than1/2 inch diameter loop using the surgeon's loop. I am worried that this will have a hin
Colorado Fly Fishing In category Fly Fishing Written by tradinlogan I still consider myself somewhat of a newcommer to fly fishing having only been at it now for a little over a year. However, I truly enjoy it. My local waters are the tailwaters formed by the dam system in Arkansas. However, next year, I would like to take a vacation of sorts that would be just for me and my fly rod. I have been considering Colorado, as that would be a fairly easy drive and my wif

Problem? In category Fly Fishing Written by sarnold I`ve been slowly meticulously upgrading my tackle for the last stunningly couple of years through trades, eBay and even occasional outright purchases.

Not a troll, really! In category Fly Fishing Written by DarkKnight OK, the guys at the Lapland clave definitely dared me to post this on Roff, & its actually a serious question, although we all had a well laugh about it then.

Some of the guys in Sweden (like Vuaghan and Hans) were especially adept at
