In an honest effort to return to the forum, I have created a group "Adirondack Fly Fishing". No excusses why I disappeared... but I'd like to come back (if you'll have me). I can give you a heades up before you head up. Let you know when it's safe to venture on the ice and how conditions are...

Anybody got a used 3wt they are looking to part with or know where I can pick up a decent one for a backup? Not looking to spend a ton of money here. My primary rod is getting some guides replaced and the 9' 5wt. is way to big to fish for brookies. Thanks, DH

OK, getting a lot of requests for round 3. Post on this thread if you are interested & we will see where this one goes. Who's in? Be ready to "Tie-Up" I'll bump this thread until everyone who wants in; is in. DH

I wonder who can come up with the name & originator of this classic streamer? I'll give you a hint, It's not a Carrie streamer. DH

Seriously looking at this for client trips. Has anyone every been on one of these pontoons? I have a one man that is very good but need a 2-up. Drift boat won't work for where I fish. Need something light weight & easy to launch/retrieve over undeveloped banks. DH

Well when the ice is 10" thick, flyfishing is pretty much over until spring. I did manage to slab up some nice perch today with my 11 year old son. A couple even came jigged up on home tied flies. Most shallow to mid deep lakes and ponds in the Adirondacks will produce some nice perch and...

Let's get one started! Let's use an open theme of " Favorite Fly". First 12 to sign up are in. If we have more, let's run a second right on the heels of the first. Once we get a full list, we'll set a due date for January sometime. If we get enough to run a second, we'll set an appropriate due...

Members, It has come to my attention that a state DEC fisheries biologist is seeking input on making a catch and release section on the Mettawee River in the Granville, NY area. Attached Newspaper article: A rainy start to rifle season In the article she said see would not move forward with...

Looking for some input from some owners. I'm in need of a new vice and looking at 2 different models: First is the Peak Rotary Second is the Griffin Blackfoot Mongoose Likes / dislikes would be appreciated. If you had to buy it again, would you & why? Thanks in advance. DH

Doing so research & seems the science guys are calling it this way. march brown & grey fox are the same species. My question is do the anglers agree? DH

This is an interesting read. Lots of history, geology, politics and fishing. If you have ever fished the Battenkill or intend to, this book will give you a better appreciation of the region and the fishery. Folks who get attention in the book are, Wulff, Atherton, Ethan Allen, Norman Rockwell...

Anybody every used these? Lot less $$$ than Mustad Just wondering

I'm thinking about the cost per year and how the high priced boots work out financially over the years vs. mid priced boots.

Need some intel for the family vacation this summer. I would like to fish salt but never have. I'm looking for a guide in the virginia beach area. Any ideas / suggestions? I am also planning a couple of days on the Gaspe Penninsula, without the family of course. DH

Started the morning at the Ausable - Decided to fish pockets. Fished about 3/4 mile of the Notch- I missed 2 brookies my budddy landed 2. :crap: Moved to the dream mile. Put one brookie on. Super low water with little action. We decided to run north to the Saranac & good thing we did. I...

Rain fall here has been poor- rivers are warming up and trout growth is slow. Mortality seems to be pretty high due to the forementioned conditions. I haven't seen that virorous hatches of last year. The Schroon is tough fishing, fish are few and far between. The Ausable is fishing better...

Does anybody have a Cortland "Brook" model rod? Likes-dislikes? How does the warranty card read? I know all you Sage, Orvis & Winston fans want to put in you 2 cents for your brand- thanks but I'm just looking at the Cortland. DH
