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!
Where did you guys access? I was in Villa Angostura and was looking at where to access but could not find anything when I tried to hike in (which is like 20 miles from town). Kept running into private land. Fished it a little but it was far from the boca and did not get into anything too big.
I have been using it for a few years now. its great stuff. Made by yellowstone fly goods in Billings. Hard to find, but by far the best floatant out there imo. For bigger flies and any flies that have zlon it really does a great job.
Well What about the Big Delaware. I Consider it my favorite stretch of water in the northeast and is shared by NJ,PA. Both sides fish great from top to bottom.
I have done alright all over the beach. Depends on where the wind is. If there is wind def head for the dyke but I like the back bay areas when conditions are well. I would for sure recommend a stripping basket. Never thought it would make THAT much of a difference but its huge, at least for...
My buddy did new zealand and he just lived over there for 6 months working at lodges and whatnot which helped pay for his trip. If you want some contact info shoot me a message. Buying a car overseas is a pain in the ass. I bought a dirtbike to get around south America and it took forever to...
sweet post. Thanks for your take on smallmouth fishing. I tend to enjoy this type of fishing in the summer much more than trout for the reasons as explained. I live down near the boring bucks county water and its loaded with smallies right now along with walleye and stripers.
I have a abel TR2 palm drag reel for sale. Used it for one season and it has just been sitting around so its up for sale. If anyone is interested just PM me. Reel works fine has some normal scratches and what not but it is in very good working condition.
Got some salt water fishing in the past couple days and fishing was decent but not crazy. Landed a few good fish and lots of short fish. Didnt measure or weigh anything but I probably landed my biggest bass on a fly rod. it was pretty nuts since I though there was no way I was going to get it...
streamer for sure. you need to get the fish's attention. I fish at least 2x while fishing streamers. 3x it too light if you are stripping it aggressively. dead drift 3x is ok but 2-0x on larger streamers imo.
I would just extend it with some angel hair. its my new favorite material. Great for translucency and adding length. moves nice too. I replace a lot of my bucktail streamers with it. Put it on a deceiver and it looks really really cool
Pretty sweet fly. I tie my pike flies a bit larger but I am sure it will get something to hit it. pink, white, orange always works. I like the flash. Does it go under the belly too?
catching shad when you are going for trout is always a blast since you are not expecting it. They taste better too. Good catch Mac! I bet that fish kicked your butt.
