It’s kind of asinine on how the residents of Hancock/Long Eddy/Deposit have such hatred towards the fly fishing community. Our hobby helps boost their small local economy.. we buy gas, food, beer, groceries, fishing supplies, cold cut sandwiches for lunch (witch are god fucking aweful), and...

Stakes are also different if your crushing beer all day. Once the seal is broken, it’s game over man.

I also say we see some Hendrickson hatches on the upper Delaware system around the 20th. Probably a couple days earlier on the Upper East and Neversink. No late hatches this year!

Fly fishing for pink slips.. I like it!

Must have belonged to a tenkara fisherman.

Here in NY the majority of our trout water is closed until our opening day, April 1st. My grandfather also passed away on April 1st a few years back from his battle with leukemia. That being said, it holds a deep significance to me. He basically raised me as I lived next door to him, he was...

You are correct, I got my line weight approximations from the bottom of a bottle of wine last night.

I’ve tried a bunch of different brands of lines in the past couple years, and currently use mostly RIO lines now. RIO trout LT (half line wt lighter) is great for surgically placing small dries to picky fish, I have this on my 10’ 4wt. I have Rio gold on my 8’6” 5wt Helios ZG and is the best...

That one month release shut down sounds like it could spell disaster. Especially if they hit a snag in whatever needs to get done within that timeframe. NYS and NYC doesn’t have a good reputation of getting many projects done in a timely manner.. One month could turn into two months, very...

I use a fish pond San Jaun chest pack when I’m fishing a short outing, in the heat or when I just don’t feel like lugging too much shit around. Its a a nice little pack and it’s cheap ($50ish) but sometimes it just doesn’t cut it when I need extra room. Definitely gotta use slim fly boxes. But...

Hopefully the cheap Kenyan dry flies that all the shops are selling will actually float now.. lol

I’ll have to give them a buzz tomorrow afternoon and see what they have to say. I see some good reviews for both shops. I spoke with Ken from Colorado Angler earlier today and from what he said, the Blue in town is heavily stocked and moderately pressured.. With that said. It looks like...

I use a bleach free glass cleaner and a clean cloth. Preferably the spray foam glass cleaner from Sams Club and a microfiber cloth. Unfortunately I don’t fish enough to get mine dirty anymore.

I’ll be hitting the slopes in Colorado for the first time next week and plan to fish for at least one day while I’m out there. Gonna be staying in Silverthorne near the Blue River. Just looking for any information or recommendations on a good guide or fly shop to use. I see there are a couple...
