    2022 Edison Fly Fishing show?

    I didn't make it to the Fly Fishing show in Edison this year because of the weather and Covid concerns. This is the first one I missed. Did anyone who attended see any interesting and noteworthy new products?

    Twin Islands Campsite - Roscoe

    Anyone know who purchased it and what they intend to use the property for? I know the Hisidics (sorry for the spelling) looked at the property several years ago.

    What style of restaurant?

    So long as I can park in your lot and walk the creek under the highway to fish the WBA water you can count me in as one of your customers!(:

    NEFF - Final days or not?

    I must confess to not being one of those tied to a smart phone or computer all day. I only really use the site when I'm looking for information, have a question, can intelligently answer someone else's question, or have a little extra time to see what's new and what others think. I like the...

    Carbide Studs Or Not

    I slipped and sat down in 12" of water early this month. At the time I was wearing my felt sole Chotas with their studs. Evidently, the flat head studs didn't grip the algae-covered rocks for a secure foothold. I want to replace the studs and wonder what brand other members have found to grip...

    Salmon River 2015/2016

    I guess I must be spoiled. I'm used to 12 to 25 hookups per day with perhaps an average of 7 - 9 or more steelhead landed. Daily success measured in the form of "one or two pulls" or "one fish or a grab" simply does not turn me on, nor does it imply to me that there are lots of fish in the...

    Opinion on guide...

    If you intend on fishing the fly zones where the fish are usually packed in like cord wood, you definately don't need a guide. However, fishing on the other sections of the river has been slow and a drift boat trip with a guide will almost certainly put you into some fish. Most of the guides...

    Salmon River 2015/2016

    Besides my lack of hookups, the fact I saw only three steelhead caught and the uninspiring fishing reports, another of the reasons I believe the numbers of returning fish are down in the river is the amount of dead salmon I saw. In past years dead salmon were everywhere and you had to wade...

    Salmon River 2015/2016

    I fly fished the Salmon at Pineville the week of November 16 and only caught one 14" brown and an Atlantic salmon smolt. Only saw three fish caught the whole week and they were on egg sacks. I've been steelheading since the early 1980s and from my point of view there doesn't seem to be a lot...

    Delaware River Guides Absent Again

    I second that THANK YOU. Jim has been in there fighting from the very beginning and deserves a lot of credit for all the time and energy he has devoted to this cause.

    Accessories C&F Fly Protector

    I just replaced the badly hook-gouged foam fly patch on my Simms vest with a C&F CFA-25/S fly protector. It features micro slit foam rows to hold flies while they dry, and more spaces than I'll ever use in a single day. The slits are placed horizontal. It also has a clear plastic top so I...

    Landing net found on WB

    Landing net found on WB. If you lost one, PM me with a DETAILED description including the date and place lost. I don't spend much time at the computer and don't have time for games or BS. Only serious replies appreciated.

    Do you wear a back support?

    A fully loaded fishing vest holding a rain jacket, water bottle, lunch and whatever else, plus a landing net, can have a toll on how an angler's back feels during a long fishing day. Several manufacturers make back supports to help overcome this problem. Do you wear one? If so, what brand and...

    What's your most useful piece of fly fishing gear

    For some reason I also have trouble using that damned Ketch and Release tool and gave up on it! Everything on my vest is essential but my top tool really is my wading staff because without it I wouldn't be able to negotiate a stream to use everything else. The Simms folding wading staff has...

    How to custom-bend forceps?

    I was striving for a right angle bend which doesn't appear to be available commercially. Thanks Pete, I appreciate your input.
