2006 Gander River Report (Newfoundland, Canada)
In category Fly Fishing
Written by Casey Bentley
The 2006 season on The Gander is best described in one word, ”water” and lots of it!
Strong runs of grilse entered the river on high water in mid June. Water levels remained high and dropping, with good angling conditions until late July when the rains came, water levels came up and stayed up, buoyed by yet more rain until the season end in October.
Anglers on the river during June and Jul

Some of you guys were kind enough recently to give me advice about which kind of reel I should buy to go with my old Fenwick rod. Well, I haven't bought a reel yet but I have another request. I dug into the old tubes that my grandfathers old cane rods were sent to me from England in, and I wonder if any of you guys have any knowledge about them.

Fly lines: Sorting through the propoganda

I recently took up fly fishing with an Orvis Clearwater outfit -- 8'6"
4wt rod and Clearwater II reel. I've been very happy with the rod, and reasonably satisfied with the reel, but the one thing I can tell already is that I need a better line than the 'entry level' line that came in the package. It doesn't float well and isn't very slick at all.

It happened about 2 hours ago. I was nymphing right near town. On the second cast I hooked a fish, which immediately jumped and I saw it was a typical 10" stocker (presumably) I'd expect to find in this spot. I started bulling it into my net with my 5x tippet when the fish started pulling like a submarine. It took line relentlessly and wouldn't show itself on the surface. I must have fought it for

Back a couple of weeks ago, I contributed to a spey rod evaluation and for my efforts, received an Orvis Clearwater 8 wt. 3 pce. spey rod. A very nice rod but the section lengths are too long for the TDI so eBay it went. Then, I located a brand new Loomis Trilogy 13' 9/10 4 pce.

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

I was fortunate to live in Northern California in the late 1440's and fish the great Salmon and Steelhead rivers of those days. The Klamath and
Smith rivers were two of the premier waters in California and I lived right between them. Flyfishing for Steel head was uncommon, mostly salmon eggs and lures were used and bait "Anchovies" and flashers were used on Salmon..

Susquenna Plan "B" if the rain doesn't stop
In category Fly Fishing
Written by wugus
Well, if there is an actual plan 'b' I would like to hear it. All I know is that it has been the pits trying to fish in my neck of the woods.
Crazy, last year the spring rains were plentiful and then the rain stopped.
Dead - later to be known as the 'Year the Rain Stopped' - and the rivers went to a below normal summer level which made the fishing difficult.
This year, the rains haven't stopped

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.
