Hi All U ROFFers,
Try to get out this fall so you can catch some big fish and wear some of that tackle out.
Then we can sell you more useless yuppie fly tackle so I can afford that bigger boat next year.
If you get out now, you won't freeze your balls off.
I guess this depends on where you live?

Two factory workers were talking.
"I think I'll take some time off from work." said the man.
"How do you think you'll do that?" said the blonde.
He proceeded to show her...by climbing up to the rafters, and hanging upside down. The boss walked in, saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he was doing.

knot strength?
In category Fly Fishing
Written by 223623687
How strong is a nail knot (tied with a knot tieing tool)? It seems significantly stronger than a fishermans knot. In fact, many times if I try to break off the fly instead of breaking at the knot it breaks in the middle of the leader!!
(ps, anyone familiar with sabre poles? I have a golden sabre 6/7 8 foot pole that I want info on)

Not sure if I got the terminology correctly, but this has always been a trophy trout stream that has had its trophy fish killed off by the farmers. Is anyone trying to get it this status, or are the farmers too big of a obstacle?

Golf course ponds: What fish?
In category Fly Fishing
Written by Katakana_okibi
I finally asked my husband about this, as he's a dedicated golfer and now works at his favorite course.
In our state, the DNR raises fingerlings in there, seines them out and uses them for stocking. Golf courses are perfect, as most of their ponds are so shallow they freeze to the bottom in winter, keeping trash fish from being a problem.

After a recent heatwave of sorts, it was tolerable outside this afternoon, and time allowed for a quick trip(2-3 hours) to the local stream tonight. It wasn`t what you would call a buggy night out, especially if you don`t count mosquitoes and biting gnats. There were a few midges, some sulfurs, some little yellow stoneflies and a few Slate Drakes over the water. The local trickle is still gu

Mosquito Lagoon Florida Report 3/25/07

Written by Capt Chris M
During the past two weeks, high winds have made for some tough fishing in east central Florida. A cold front last weekend dropped the temperatures into the 40's but over the past week, they have climbed steadily reaching the 80's this weekend. The rising temperatures have brought even more bait fish to the flats and clear skies the past few days offered some great sight fishing opportunities.
