    The Fedral Government is resorting to a new low to collect revenue.

    all part of the "fundamental transformation of America". It seems the state of Pennsylvania is looking at all inactive bank accounts and simply taking the money without notice, to help eliminate their deficit

    Good little waterproof camera

    You cant go wrong with the Olympus TG2. tough waterproof camera Olympus picture quality is second to none, shoots 1080P HD video has lots of shooting modes. and I think the latest version has air drop for I phones. Mine fits nicely in my top vest pocket and my small sling pack.

    Fly Line Choice

    No need to cut it in half. When the one end gets beat up just reverse the line on the reel. As for line choice the Rio Trout LT double taper would be an excellent choice.

    Who got you started in hunting and fishing?

    Don't laugh...... Curt Gowdy and American Sportsman. I couldn't wait for that show every week. That and the Herters catalogs at the barber shop. My dad loved to fish but he worked his ass off and he barely had time to make it to Little League games, so we did not fish together when I was young...

    Whats you favorite fly line

    My favorite line is from Blazing Saddles " somebody go back to town and get a whole shitload of dimes" As for fly lines SA VPT on a softer rod like a Winston B3X or the GPX on the faster action rods. I have heard good things about Airflo lines and will be giving them a try.

    Small Stream Fly Rod

    I agree that anything less than 8' counterproductive. Don't think that one foot shorter rod is going to be better in keeping you from catching your backcast. An 8 footer will rollcast better and mend line better. My small stream rod is a Sage TXL F 7'10" 4 weight with a double taper line this...

    Striper fioshing the flats in Wellfleet HArbor

    I fished the Pamet river inlet which is just north of Wellfleet. It has a narrow breachway with lots of flats. Fish it on the outgoing, especially at night. Clousers, sand eels and some poppers should do the trick

    suggestions for my first legit camera

    If it is mainly for fishing pics go with a point and shoot. I picked up an Olympus TG2 this year its fully waterproof to 30 meters, shoots 1080P HD video, is very rugged and fits perfectly in a vest pocket, takes stunning pictures. almost as good as my DSLR. Which for you CANIKONS is an Olympus...

    Flatbrook Action Alert!!!

    My two cents (in favor) have been posted. But I have to say that without F&G actually enforcing ANY! of the rules none of this crap makes any difference.

    Simms G3 bootfoot waders are back!!

    This must be a leaked PDF. My fly shop owner just met with the Simms rep. and they were not aware of this product. I like the idea of the bootfoots but they lack ankle support, but good for the beach. Just what I need a $600 pair of waders!

    mid flex vs tip flex in relation to casting, or playing the fish?

    My two cents. Go to a full service fly shop with a good staff that will string up several rods for you to take out back on the grass and cast them. You will get an education on rods and a little free casting lesson. Decide which rod/action feels right to you. Then buy that rod from that guy...

    Regulation changes for Next year.

    The sad truth is all these special regs for the BFB wont do squat to deter the ones who have no regards for the regs in the first place. how many times have you seen the telltale ring of a bucket next to a pile of cigarette buts next to an empty bait container next to empty beer cans next to a...

    Digital stream thermometers feedback?

    My buddy has one and we compared it with my old fashioned rectal thermometer and they were dead on. Its true that reflectivity can cause problems with IR scanners you can eliminate the glare by creating a shady spot with your cap and shooting at an angle. The best part is the "Instant" part.

    When you're not fishing what are you doing that's non-fly fishing related?

    When I'm not fishing I am busy planning for the next Star Trek convention, or organizing and dusting off my extensive collection of action figures. Some weekends the little lady and I will find out where Stanky And The Coal Miners are playing and dance he Polka till the cows come home.
