Catskill Fly Fishing
In category Fly Fishing
Written by Wyred
If one aspired to fish the Catskill streams around either Phoenicia or
Downsville, where would I find the best tackle shop for purchasing a new fishing outfit, i.e. Rod, Reel, Creel and related equipment. And of course the best advice on which flies to buy...
Thank you.

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?

I know that when you're fishing for pike, you need to use wire leaders cause they've got big bad teeth and sharp gill plates that'll slice through mono like a hot knife through butter.

I set out one fine day to catch a fish. The venue: the Hoback river in western WY, about ten miles east of the confluence with the Snake. The time: a little after noon.
I tied on a muddler, #8, using an improved clinch. A wise man once supposedly said this was to be the only knot I'd ever need, and I felt that experimentation with such an unconventional notion was in order.

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

Those were the days my friends

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..

Help with nymph fishing

Written by 223623687
I went fishing today, with a 8 weight and a 2 split shots, 1 between each of the flies.
I can cast dry flies, I had a horrible time casting the line with 2 split shots. What is it, do I need to do a different type of cast for a split shot than a dry fly?

Replacing tippets
In category Fly Fishing
Written by WyzWun
Probably obvious to everyone but here goes. I buy tapered leaders and I wonder what triggers a tippet change. I mean if the leader is 9 feet long, and every time you change the fly, you lose from 2 to 4 inches of tippet, when do you realize it's time to add a tippet. Do you calculate the remaining lenght of the leader, or does the fly really lands in such a way that it is evident the tippet is

Long rambling post about travel rods.
In category Fly Fishing
Written by Death mistress
I have spent the last week or so reading everything I could find on the net about cheap travel rods (I must have read 2000 ROFF posts; I almost feel like I know some of you guys).
Here's why: I recently started a long thread here about how I wanted to take up trout fishing and whether or not I could use my old fibreglass Fenwick rod from when I was a kid in England. The consensus opinion was that
