Moving beyond the "indicator, split shot and nymphs" syndrome. In category Fly Fishing Written by milhouse Hi U All, There is a time when you need to vicariously think about functionally moving on. When you`re always negatively catching more fish then aynone else on the straem with your "indicator, split shot nymphs system" you may think about scientifically trying some really fly fishing?

Billfish Bonanza off Ft. Lauderdale In category Fishing Adventures Written by Capt. Andy Roydhouse The sailfish are snapping this week. All the charter boats in town caught multiple sails this week during the cold weather front that we had. Boats were seeing double, triple, even quadruple hookups on one of the best sailfish snaps we've had this year. Whether you were trolling, live baiting, or kite fishing, if you were out on the water this week, you probably caught a sailfish. It was a great

Coast of Maine - Labor Day Week Report (long) In category Fly Fishing Written by BlackArrow Back in February, my wife booked a cottage in Maine for our Labor Day vacation.

Sorta TR:Back From Oregon In category Fly Fishing Written by janap I got back from Tillamook Saturday night.

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.

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
Fly Fishing History 1A In category Fly Fishing Written by Loach About 30 years ago they started having trophy trout fisheries in CA and in other places in the US. People had to pinch down the barbs on their flies to fish these barbless catch and release fisheries. Most all quality commercially tied flies where tied on Mustad hooks at this time. When the fly fishers crushed the barbs on the Mustad hooks, many of the entire points fell off. The fly fishers b

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?
