    Good deal for drifters/waders/boaters?

    Didn't see this here yet. I saw this on a few other sites. A good deal on inflatable jackets. I don't know much about this "shnoop," but Cabelas is selling the same jacket for $160. 6 hours left. Shnoop.com - Deal a Day! Daily deal on Every Day Merchandise at Closeout Prices! Jonboy

    Upper Wanaque Update

    Lower Wanaque The Lower Wanaque River is a "tail water" by definition. There is a constant flow from the Wanaque Reservoir as a bottom release. Even though the dam is more than a mile upstream from the area you are interested in fishing, the water down there stays fairly cool in the summer...

    New to Salt Line questions...

    I agree with Flytier. Get an intermediate line. It is easier to cast than a floating line; and it is fairly versatile for most beach situations. You can use a floating line for certain situations, but in my opinion, an intermediate serves more purpose on the beach. Jon

    Winter Patterns

    The Patriot is your (a)typical attractor pattern. In my experience, wild and stocked rainbows really love it for some reason. I have used it as an indicator with a nymph dropper and a lot of fish take the dry. Jonboy

    Chat room topics - hosting them

    I think this is great idea. I know that I stop in the chat room from time to time and nobody is in there. Hopefully, this will make good use of the chat room and not be a waste of space/money on the site. Having specific topics is a great idea too. This keeps a concentration during the chat...

    fly reel & line maintenance

    Dennis and I had this conversation a while ago talking about my lack of casting distance. I tried cleaning my line as he suggested and used a cortland line cleaner and I swear it made a difference. Not a huge difference, but I added approximately 8-10 feet just throwing a clean line. I guess...

    fly tying material alternatives

    Somerset Show You might want to wait for the Somerset Show this winter and check out Charlie Collins' booth. His necks are nice. He is very helpful and will spend time with you if you have questions. Check this link out too if you haven't already. http://flyfisherman.com/ftb/sshackle/ Jon :cool:

    Need Help about Cape May

    Just wondering if anyone can help me out. I will be going to Cape May next Fri-Sun (Sep 9-11). My better half claims she will let me bring a rod (nice of her isn't it?). Since I have never been fishing down there, I was wondering if anybody could give me any advice as to what to expect in the...

    in search of albies

    Larry and Rob, Thanks for the report/s. I might be heading to the hook early sat morning. I guess it depends on the weather from the hurricane. I hope the water cleans up and stays that way....the albies should be showing up on the beaches soon... :D Jon

    Silas Condict

    I have fished this small lake for largemouth bass. There used to be HUGE panfish in there too, but not too big anymore. The state stocked channel cats in there for a while too. Never did any fly fishing in there. Jon
