Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!

I’m reposting my contribution. For context read Moose’s summary below...
Rusty said something about brownbuttbacon (new guy) having skeletons in the closet.
I said I didn’t care about the skeletons, but if there were a sling pack hidden in there, to let me know about it...
Yesterday I made it out for a few hours of fishing. Conditions weren’t ideal: the trickle of water I fished was a steaming 82 degrees where I first measured, but I wasn’t about to let water temps stop me from fishing on my day off. I’d find a spot to fish, and do so ethically.
On hot, low...
Beautiful fish, Mac.
Sometimes fishing itself is like fly tying. You look back on the old flies you tied, and you know you’re getting better. A lot better...
Years back we met up on the river, and here’s the pic I took of the fish you caught - I’ll never forgot how proud you were to catch a...
Dude is famous for catching what perhaps is the biggest fish ever on the Delaware.
Or is it?
Check out this pic - the side view - right after he released the fish:
To say the least, I’m very disappointed.
How does a trip with a fly rod into a secluded public forest become an issue here?
Next thing, they’re gonna close the Vince Lombardi Rest Stop, and life as we know it will be over.
Wash hands frequently and take care.
Tough times. Now I know what it feels like to be Macfly’s fishing buddy. You accept an offer to row Mac’s boat for the day. And like Mac, you too got skunked.
At first you think it’s because you didn’t get a chance to cast...
But you continue to get...

I’m not trying to be rude, but I am wondering about your use of the words “died suddenly” to describe the demise of your friend Bucky in the picture. Lower right of frame?
I’m not sure there’s anything that happened “suddenly,” since it looks like it took over 90 years...
Striped bass are also extending their range further and further north. In the process, they are contributing to the decimation of Altantic salmon populations and destroying local economies that depend on the salmon fishery...
Incidents of tick borne diseases in Maine that were once rare are evidence of a changing climate. Ticks are moving further and further north.
“The ticks have brought a surge of Lyme disease in Maine over two decades, boosting reported cases from 71 in 2000 to 1,487 in 2016 — a 20-fold increase...
Back in the day I fished India Brook a lot. Caught mostly brown trout, and one brookie...
I would park in a lot adjacent to a huge soccer field,...
I’ve tried to return to the same spot, but can’t find it!!
I’m assuming that access to India Brook is different today than it had been years ago...
Do markings and coloration change during the lifetime of the fish?
Or perhaps do markings develop to match the environment?
I’ll read the article you attached. Very interesting.
