If you get a chance you could always sit-in on the tying demos at Shannon's in Califon. I'm sure they would be willing to sit with you and teach you a few things. Plus they have a great selection of tying junk. Everything you need plus things you didn't know you needed till you see it in...

I have a few subscriptions like fly fisherman that I think I pay like $.99, got it for a 7 year subscription. But some of them are just getting out of control. Take Mags that are printed in the UK they are all around $8 but if you buy them in in their country they are only $2 or pounds...

Why are the Fly Fishing mags so damn exspensive? The photo quality is decent and mags articles are decent but with less than 100 pages of porn and reading to look over why are they $5.99 or more? My wife gets these damn girl mags about fashion and arts and crafts and they are only $2.00 each...

I'm going to guess that you have a vise and all the fixins? Go grab a few tying books. That was the best way I learned. You can also pull up some good videos online. santo

I don't care...anytime you can throw in a monty python clip is good by me. You just down find that kind of humor in todays movies! Now you have swear 1000's of times and kill half the movie crew. I say bring on some mel brooks. santo

Does no one shoot film any more? I guess digital is easier shooting than setting up my 8x10 for a trout or a fly pic. santo

I as well have a FLI 9' 5wt 4 pc. Great rod! It is the lower end of the SAGE rod line but I tested out the entire line before I moved to nj. I even tested a few rods that were just blanks. Hmmm maybe something new is in the oven. Go SAGE santo

Go for the brimmed then plus cake on the sun screen! santo

True it is call fishing not catching and I do live by that motto when fishing, but then you could say the same thing for diving or track and field. Its called diving not winning. Why do we participate in any sport? To win and get better at it. Do you want to spend the rest of your life just...

My shoes so i can go outside. santo

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that posted for me. Decided to not go cause others in the group were not really interested. santo

Good thing we had to cancel the camp trip then! No $ for them! santo

Just an FYI...There was a good article in the summer issue of TROUT about the musky damn that was removed. santo

Joe, I've hit that pond a few times since I live in Highland Park. It is pretty nasty right now! The pond was a nit higher but it has dropped in the last few months. There are warm water fish but right now everything seems to be a bit slower than normal. There are a few other holes in the...

By the picture it looks to be mid to late fall. No greens on the trees or ground. Tie up something that floats nice like a foam hopper, then tie a nice nymph to the bottom with about 12" of tippet. Toss above the rocks to get it to float through the rapids and into the soft stuff. while its...

Tim, Sorry to hear about your loss! Just think though...I'm sure she left little treats for you to find around the house. Her way to keep you laughing during a hard time. santo

Tim, I know you were! The brimmed hats work well. Mine keep my ears from getting burnt. I still get raccoon eyes from my sunglasses but thats about it. santo

Actually I was just looking through some paperwork last night and the hat was only $45. I had bought a some wool sock and gloves and that made up for the extra $50. Sorry guys. santo

To many people so I stay home and watch TV. santo

Could have been a pike. I caught one on wed but after 5 mins of him fighting and me not having anything to get him off the line with I chose to fight tough and snap the line. Something about those teeth I don't like. santo
