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!
I just finished building a medium-fast rod with an old school master....It is not fancy, it is not sexy, the blank it was built on is 25 years old and didn't cost much...After a week of learning and watching....It was complete..We took it to the field to give it a try..At first I was casting...
I picked up some hand tied salt water flys from some of the ledgends of the sport, an ass kicking set of Van Staal pilers, and two of the best generic necks I have ever laid eyes on, and I got them both for $60.00:hubbahubba:.... As well as a bunch of frogs hair leaders at half price....AND I...
I have been kicking around the idea of a nymph rod/ steel head rod.... Everything I hear about the Sage 99 is good......Man $700.00 ......What do you think boys??????
I have been hearing rumors around town that Hardy is getting ready to put out a breakthrough rod in 2011.....Has any one else heard of this, if so whats the skinny ?????? I own a Hardy 4# in 7,6" for pocket water and creeks and it is just about a sweet as they come....
Found a fly gear site on line, selling ABLE reels at 1/2 price...They have Able Super 6 and Super 10 for $330.00....I purchased a Super 6, received it today. It is brand new in the box with all paper work...Gave it the once over it is perfect, very, very nice drag no nicks dents etc. At first I...
Gearing up for my Alaska trip......Looking at a 6# Z axis with salt water grip(fighting but,aluminum) I know rods throw some lines better than others...If you own one of these rods, what type of line do you like... I know my XP 5# likes an Airflow in 6#.... So to save some bucks finding the...
It has been a long time coming, but the money is there(for once) for a trip out west..... I would like to hear from some people on this site that have been "out west" and would like to impart some advise..... I am not even set on a state, but Idaho, Utah... are sounding good..... I am looking...
:hubbahubba::hubbahubba::smiley-sniffer:I was having problems finding partridge hackles short enough for some of my size 16 and up soft hackle wets. I had a Starling skin that I never used, decided to give it a try; dam I like this stuff, looks as good if not better than partridge. It has short...
Here is a beatle that works very, very, well. I have caught many fish on this little bastard...I call it my personal WMD..... It is eazy as pie to tie and only takes about 5 mins. Here is the recipe.. I will call this my Xmass gift to the folks on NEFF.....It really works like a mother in...
Here is my copy of a streamer... I copyed this from a guy at the tying show, I think this will kick butt...To give props to the the man who came up with this ...Flies By George... I think he is from western NY, It is nice and simple and will rock...:hubbahubba:

Have been reading Ames's new book on Caddis Flys and started playing around...I plan on fishing with Caddis only next year..Let me know if you think any of these will work..Or if you like them or not...:hubbahubba:
I have been hearing some talk about TU pushing to ban felt bottom boots, due to spreading "germs" from one steam to another. Does anybody know if this issue has any legs ?
Thinking about buying a drift boat, but don't know much about them.. It would be great if some owners of drift boats could tell me what they like about there boat and what they don't. I fish the Delaware, Salmon rivers.. Should I go with a fiberglass or alum? Do I need a low profile or not? Is a...
