More reasons why I want lightweight 2nd rig In category Fly Fishing Written by Tosh I had asked the group for suggestions on an inexpensive and lighter weight flyfishing rig for my second rod. I have appreciated yall's input, so I thought you might get a kick out of what happened this morning. I escaped to the ranch yesterday to catch up on a few chores. I woke up early enough this morning to slip down the lake and "beat" a few fish out of the water with my 9', 9 weight rod.

Upstate NY guiding: Want to catch a landlocked salmon? In category Fly Fishing Written by ryan There are about two weeks or less left of the good salmon fishing left up here in the Adirondacks.

TR: Hex'n In category Fly Fishing Written by Khorn I departed Wednesday last with my son, brother and nephew for my favorite hex pond. Arriving at the pond we got the 2nd best campsite (of three) and set up camp, launched boats etc. There was a fellow camped there that I had met last year, Larry, and he told me the fishing "sucked". A few hex were showing here and there but no fish were moving. As evening neared we launched and took our positio

OT: the deluge In category Fly Fishing Written by click2hug Watch out, Eastern New England. We're sending a helluva storm your way!

Which floating line? In category Fly Fishing Written by DobbyMandrake It looks like it's time to retire my # 7 floating line to back yard practice casting duty. The new line will be going on a Penn Silver Label 6/7 weight. It gets most of it's use on large rivers but occasionally out on the lake too and perhaps a foray or two out into the Puget Sound saltwater. Any recommendations would be most helpful.

A Greenback Stream In category Fly Fishing Written by tiedye611 No. That's their normal coloration. Some are more colorful than others. That one was especially colorful, that's why I took the picture. The one's I caught at the last stream I tried, were less colorful (but that could also be because they were so small).

Kolob Reservoir report (Souther Utah) In category Fly Fishing Written by Thugluv Yesterday afternoon I headed up to Kolob, even though the spotty reports had said it was slow. I didn't have much to do yesterday so I arrived early afternoon and was in my tube by about 2:30. It was one of those windy, "do I go out or not days", but I figured I give it a shot. Nobody out on the water, but about 5-6 vehicles around the lake. Got in the water and started kicking around the NE s

The New River Miss-Adventure In category Fly Fishing Written by Phildorno I awoke at 4:30am, excited to be goin' on my first canoe outing in many years.

Whitewater State Park was British Columbia fly-fishing lite In category Fly Fishing Written by Mazer Wow. I've never done any wading in Whitewater that wasn't wet wading (in fact, I just got some waders this year, as yet unworn.). Never got a leech. One of the beauties of Whitewater is that there are supposedly no mosquitos. I've been camping there on and off since '86 and did finally see one mosquito last summer. It was weak, like the last mosquitos of autumn, and it seemed almost a shame
The latest on the San Juan In category Fly Fishing Written by notte First off, I'm really looking forward to it. It's December 6-9 and most everyone is staying at Rizuto's. I was up there Friday and Saturday. The fishing was good although there were some tremendous slow streaks. The water is lower than most have seen it at 250 cfs. When there's water in the lake, 500 cfs is the typical "low flow." so 250 looks pretty "bony" to use one of Warren's drift boat t
