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!
Heading up for the weekend madness.. I know but with young children I can only go a few times.. anyway with the water being up, what are the chances of fish being in the Trout Brook, and are there any other tribs worth checking out other than Orwell?
I have a large foot, usually a 14, and I find the Simms Freestones run big. I can fit my foot with a heavy sock and stocking foot waderers in a 13 very confortably. Good luck
I am by no means a good fly fisherman, I want to believe I am above chucking and ducking. I use a 9ft 8wt Diamondback with a pfluger trion reel, and I have had plenty of success in my time on the SR. I spent less than $500 for my set up, and it has a lifetime warranty should something break. I...
My mother in law is a dental hygenist, and her boss got hit by a train while fishing up there this past week. Any of you guys hear about that, or know anything about it? Apparently he was crossing a bridge, but I dont understand why he couldnt jump off.
I took a dip in the drink in the SR early December. Water was moving down the ballpark, and was about 35 degrees. I spent about 90 seconds up to my neck in the water, and I couldnt imagine soending 1 second longer. I often wonder how long I had before my body temp dropped and I went into shock...
THey also host Project Healing Waters Wounded Warriors Program, which I read about in the readers digest. It is a program dedicated to helping wounded veterans learn to fly fish. I guess they bring the soldiers to different fishing locations around the country and when they hit the SR they stay...
$33 is a good deal, I usually stay at a cross country ski area in Redfield. Salmon Hills it is called. Kind of far out there but it is family owned and I think they appreciate the business. A wacky Norwegian Olympic skier owns the place nice guy named Hans. Might be pricey since it is their peak...
My wife accidentaly bought 150 extra birth announcements/ Holiday cards this year. (we just had a baby) anyhow they say happy holidays on it and have a picture of our daughter. Should I sent them out? Or is that weird?
I would be very interested in learnig how to do that, however I am in the market for a new pair of boot that allow me to have both felt, and studs, or a combo. Thanks
The pair with the removable soles? I read some reviews about them and people complained that the soles would loosen and come off in the river. I have tried the strap on Korkers, and found it difficult to move through the water because of water getting inbetween the korker and the sole of my boot.
speaking of taking a digger into the drink, does anyone have a recommendation on wading boots? I have a cheap pair of cabelas boots that I want to replace with a nicer pair of studded boots. I found the cabelas boots are narrow, and it looks like the Simms Freestones are a little wider but I am...
