On and OT In category Fly Fishing Written by voopa Weirdness tonight. About 6 years ago in Flagstaff, I was filling my tank at a local 7-11 and a car pulled in with some guy sitting on the passenger side, a laptop bolted to the dashboard, big antenna on the roof, files and clipboards everywhere. I had no idea what this guy could possibly be doing with a laptop in a moving car, working away. Well, today the school installed wireless hubs all over a
K Creek NC In category Fly Fishing Written by firsttube10 Last week a friend and I hiked up a trail through part of the Nantahala National Forest. I took my 4-weight, just in case, you know.

Even ran across an old homestead all gone except for the apple trees, which provided a snack. The apples were about the size of a quarter, in direct

TR - They`re never too young to start In category Fly Fishing Written by KueTip My granddaughter, Sofia, turned 3 last month and I hadn`t taken her fishing yet, so today was the day.

TR: Closing the Season in MN In category Fly Fishing Written by RW Fan This year, the annual fall get-away happened to coincide with the last days of the season for trout streams in SE MN.

DS2 For My Dad In category Fly Fishing Written by Kite Christmas is approaching, and this is the time of year when we say 'cherish the times' because we never know when it might be the last Christmas, especially with the older folks.

Tiptop contemplation In category Fly Fishing Written by TempestDra I've spent a bit of time thinking about the tiptop on my fly rods. I suspect better minds than mine have considered this, but it seems to me that they are poorly designed. On all of my rods, the tiptop makes an angle of about 60deg with the rod. When I am retrieving with my tip upwards (and no fish on), the inherent stiffness in the line makes it not want to bend so much to get into the tiptop, an

On balance and perceptions In category Fly Fishing Written by Yang In the other thread, I was being a deliberate PITA just for fun, mostly because the issue of rod balance seems to stir such passions here, I couldn't resist the urge to stir the pot. For the record, I don't like single handed rods that don't balance. I prefer the balance point to be under my thumb. Note the word "prefer". It's a personal preference, not an immutable law of physics. When casti

Matching reel and line/rod weights. What can one get away wi In category Fly Fishing Written by kaylie I am still baffled by the whole line/rod/reel weight thing. I have a 7 weight Hardy JLH Golden reel winging its way towards me from England to use on my old Fenwick 7 weight glass fibre rod.

Is this a lie? In category Fly Fishing Written by 223623687 Rogue rods says: The FISHING guides that use Rogue Rods tell us that they are catching more FISH because of our rods. The rods do what they were designed to do. The guides helped us design the rods so why wouldn't they do a better job. Our advice to guides is to work hard, use our rods, catch more FISH, have happier clients, more bookings, and receive larger tips so you can buy more rods. From r
