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!
Great smallstream rod. It has been used lightly, but well taken care of. Its a 2 piece full flex and comes with original tube and sock. $135 shipped in US, paypal only please.
I have a St. Croix Imperial 8' 4 weight/4 piece for sale. Rod is like new with factory rod tube. $112 shipped in U.S. Paypal only please. Thanks for looking.
I can't remember a NY opener with better fishing conditions. Air temp was around 65F plus or minus, and water temp was averaged at about 45F. I fished both my fly and tenkara rod. Most trout were caught on top with a #14 gray haystack.
I have a orvis clearwater II 7'9" 5 weight for sale. Rod has only been fished 3 times and is in excellent shape. Comes with original tube. $90 shipped in U.S. M.O. or paypal only. Please add $3 to price if using paypal to cover their fees
I have never done it myself. It is popular in the adirondacks for the same reasons that they do it in Maine. During certain times of the year, you can catch some monster brookies trolling streamers. Or at least thats what i heard.
I recently tried a couple soft hackles. I thought they would be very easy. For some reason, I am having trouble getting the hackle to look good. I mean, they will catch fish, but they are not anything to brag about.
I have been tying a lot of the flies I fish with on my small streams...
