I just booked a flight out to Portland for next week. My friend and I will be traveling north to Seattle and I'm hoping to get into some fishing as well. Anyone ever fish out there? Your input would be much appreciated.

I'm back home after and extended trip overseas and I'm dusting off the gear. My fly box is damn near empty so I need to sit down and tie. I need some simple patterns to tie. Besides the obvious pheasant tails and hare's ears, what are you guys currently using? Give me some ideas! I'm sure this...

It's been a goal of mine to spend some time exploring the Adirondacks this year. Unfortunately, my work schedule has been hectic and I've found myself working weekends more often than not. With that said, holiday weekends like Memorial Day are rare opportunities to get away for a bit. I know...

What are everyone's plans for the next few weeks? It seems like everyone is actually worried winter will not end this year. Will anyone actually try to get out on opening day here in NJ? What about the Catskill waters? I've never been less interested in fishing NJ's stocked streams as I am this...

So I just splurged on a new pair of Simms g3 waders. My cabelas brand waders have served me fine with no leaks going on 6 years now but I figured I'll catch more fish with the Simms. The problem now is that I cant wear my shitty cabelas wading boots with my high end douche waders.. I was...

Found a video of you and trout guy at one of your gay dance music concerts. This is what happens when you take away these peoples natural predator, the bully. Their population goes unchecked and they do things like this in public.

Hello all, After about a month in Spain and 2 weeks catching up on work since getting back home, I'm dying to get out and fish. I planned on fishing in Spain but did not even come close. Are water temps too high? Any bug action to speak of? Seems like we have been getting a good amount of...

A great article on a man I had never heard of before but am sure some of you have. Fly rod makers Tom Morgan, Gerri Carlson create 'Unity with the Universe'

My recent trip with lightenup has inspired me to do more exploring for wild trout streams. Since today was beautiful and work was slow, I headed out to a listed WTS this afternoon. I believe this stream holds only Brook trout and I was able to catch many today. Most fish came on a peacock caddis...

I realize most people do their tying in the winter but I slacked off. Just sat down and was hoping for some suggestions on what patterns are going to be effective for the next week or so? Any advice would be appreciated since I only know a few patterns. Thanks in advance!

...caught a wild trout? I ask this question because yesterday, while taking a friend out to a local stream(saddle river) for some casting practice we caught a healthy, year old wild brown trout. I was absolutely stunned and thrilled that there is wild trout reproduction in such a inhospitable...

Well I fished the upper SBR today and came to the realization that I have a long, long road ahead of me before I can really call myself a fly fishermen. Today was my third skunk of the year, even though insect activity was as good as I've seen this year. There were big stoneflies everywhere...

Aren't you a teacher? Ever hear of Trout in the Classroom. TU is involved and it looks like a cool program. If I were a teacher I would definitely get involved. Looks like they're looking for teachers. Check out the slide show NJDEP Division of Fish & Wildlife - Teachers Wanted for Trout in the...

Specifically about wild trout streams. I know it's not cool to write anything about unlisted streams but what about the streams that are on the WTS list. I walked around today looking for access to a certain stream around oldwick and could not find any access. Why would they include a stream in...

I spent this past weekend drinking my life away in Florida. I did manage to sneak out one morning and head to mosquito lagoon. I'll try my best to do a AK style report here.. This is the gas guzzling tank that got us to FL in only 16 hours. Freakin thing sucks The day started off with me...

My friends and I are going on a spur of the moment trip to Orlando tommorow. We have a buddy down there and we have a nice RV at our disposal so we are taking advantage. Supposedly this thing has satellite TV and wireless internet so I'll be able to get some work done. While my friends are...

I've decided it's time to start tying my own flies so I'm in the market for a entry level vise and some decent tools. I've been looking at the Danvise and the Peak vise. Does anyone here have an old vise they have sitting around that they would like to sell? How about some old tools that are...

If you had to pick one state to fish between the two, which one would it be? Based on quality of wild trout streams, amount of publicly accessible streams, diversity of fishing opportunities, and distance to prime trout waters from NJ (North Jersey in particular). I'm asking because I...

I've decided to expand my fly fishing horizons into NY state starting this spring and was looking to do some reading to give me an idea of what I'm getting into. Does anyone know of any good books that can help shed some light on the NY streams? Maybe some authors that write about the area...
