My previous post about missing a spinner fall got be thinkin about the old standard Rusty Spinner. a. not all mayfly spinners are rusty brown so why is it so effective? b. okay so you use it in low light conditions. but have you not seen fish taking spinners when you got up early for a...

......leave before dark. Hard and fast rules drilled into you, but violated to keep the peace with SWMBO ( she who must be obeyed) Fished the upper &%$ Branch this past weekend and things were just on the cusp of busting loose. Had a decent day on saturday and decided to stay the night...

I will no longer bitch about it after watching this.. Frank Moore: Mending the Line on Vimeo

I want to borrow this get up for Fredy to wear at RVTU meetings A Trout in Trouble on Vimeo

I picked up a Sage DXL Typhoon hip/sling bag online new and unused. Its supposed to have a waterproof compartment with a YKK zipper. I immediately gave it the douche test in the sink and it failed miserably!. Right on the phone to Sage customer service, they would gladly replace it right away...

I was sitting in Tightlines today and the brown truck dropped off some shiny green tubes from Montana, one of them was the new B3SX fast action in 6 weight, took it out back for a fling. This was the first rod that I was able to shoot the whole line with, this rod is AMAZING! Winstons entry...

Floated the Big D. with Joe on thursday. What else can I say but THANKS CAPT. JOE!!!!!!

Had the day free yesterday so I headed up to East Branch, the forecast was 15-20 mph winds and I figured I could handle that. I pulled into the parking area and opened the door and and a gust almost ripped it out of my hand. There were whitecaps going upstream at my new favorite spot! I didn't...

Any one know what the camping regs are for the areas posted as "State Forests" in and around the Catskill region and PA such as the gamelands etc. The DEC websites are not too specific. There are some nice spots around the East Branch to throw up a tent for a weekend of fishing.

Anyone have any idea why one of the major rod makers was conspicuosly absent from the show last weekend? you would think with two hot new rods out they would have been there to support their dealor network. I gotta think it helps with sales to have the reps demo the rods then having vendors...

Anyone have any experience with portable tying kit bags i.e. Fishpond?. Do you tie on trips often? if so do you have a fully loaded kit or do you just take materials specific to each fishery/hatch you are expecting?. Is it possible to get enough in a travel kit to be well prepared for any...

Tied up some of Matt Groberts pumkinhead midges last night and hit the SBR today. They gobbled em up! a few wild browns and a nice brookie. Cant believe they can even see such a tiny fly. Thanks Matt Hooray for Peterpumkinhead

Stepped on a greasy boulder on the Flatbrook today, first one in a few years and all I gotta say about C&F fly boxes is Waterproof my ass! I'll never spend that much on a box again. Sorry just had to vent

Looking for some quick feedback on temps for upper SBR, Flatbrook, Musky or the Lopat for this weekend. Thanks Alan

So I figured my best bet for a nice afternoon on the water was Flatbrook, The musky and SBR were a little mucky for my liking. I went to the Fly only stretch and started down the path to "the big pool" (I know it has a name but I can't remember). I got here and it was deserted!. I never...

Question is : If one side of the river is posted but the other side is a state forest, can I wade and fish adjacent to the posted property below the high water mark if accessing thru public access?

If anyone is missing a piece of gear after fishing the East Branch of the Delaware this weekend. PM me with the Info. I found some gear that I know I would be bummed if it came up missing

Tyed up some compara style emergers today and gave the a float test. It seems I cant get the tail or shuck to sit nicely below the surface film, it seems to be a little too bouyant. I'm new to tying and thought maybe I was overdubbing the bodies, I am using a light wire scud hook and z-lon for...
