Heading out to Cape Cod, MA for a long weekend this weekend, and was reading about being able to sight fish the flats with a fly rod. Does anyone have any experience/advice on this?

Has anyone fished the EB of the Westfield river in MA? From what I've been reading, the Chesterfield gorge seems to be a good stretch of water. Will be out there camping/fishing in 2 weeks. Curious if there are any specific flies I should be tying up in preparation besides the usual suspects.

Anyone have any idea what this is? http://i1357.photobucket.com/albums/q750/thursthouse/insect%20identification_zpsxplyr8cr.jpg

As I've relocated to New England, I am at the mercy of hunting on public land. Some areas are well broadcasted that you can publicly hunt on them, however I'm sure there are other places where hunting is permitted, but not as publicly stated. Anyone have a good way of identifying potential...

What are you top 3 bass flies? I recently tied up my first Dahlberg diver and while it has great movement and produces an extremely ‘bassy’ gurgle when popped, I have yet to entice a bass with it in my last two trips. I am far from giving up on this fly, just shocked it didn’t produce on...

I went exploring some cold water streams and rivers this weekend in Mass and found a spot that has landlocked salmon as well as rainbow, brown and streambed brookies. I managed to land two salmon on soft hackle nymphs which was probably dumb luck as I’ve never fished for them before. Does...

Hi All, I moved up to New England about 8 months ago and knew it was only a question of time before I'd try my hand at salt water fly fishing. My buddy recently got the keys to a condo on a creek in Cape May where stripers apparently spend their winters. We are going to give it a shot and...

These genetically altered salmon have been approved by the FDA for consumption. They modified a gene that turns on the growth hormone all year round instead of only when it gets warm...they grow twice as fast and eat 10% less I hope the Pequest Hatchery is experimenting with the same.. US...

I'm in the market for some new deer hunting boots and would love some recommendations. I'd ideally like some rubber boots with high insulation (1000+ grams thinsulate or something comparable). I typically hunt tree stands and if we are going to put a drive on, I have separate boots that will...

So I recently pulled the trigger and got engaged and already my better half has started wedding planning. There's not much (besides an open bar) that I really care about in the planning phase (she's dreamt about wedding since the day she could walk, she can plan it now) but if I could...

Sounds like a good concept.. most fly fisherman take river temps fairly regularly so why not help out science which would in turn help out the health of the rivers? Smart waders go fishing for science - BBC News

What do you look for when buying feathers to tie soft hackles? I originally bought a hen neck package when I started tying and, while they do serve the purpose, I can't help to think they are not the best quality. Any suggestions on what feathers I should be specifically looking for or brand...

When I first got my vice I tried tying every different pattern I thought looked 'cool'. As I've reorganized my fly boxes for the up coming season, I started tying fewer patterns but more of the flies that I have confidence in so that I won't run out of them. I'll continue to try new (to me)...

Just over a year ago, I saw some of you guys talking about catching at least one trout every month of the year. January 2014 I started out on my quest to do the same. By February 1, 2014 I had struck out. I decided to try again this year with low expectations. First trip out in January I caught...

I have spoken with the System Administrators for NEFF who have agreed, that with enough signatures, we can petition to have WBDluver remove his heinous picture. I’m aware that the picture must be a joke as he’s seen wearing the classic glasses and nose disguise that manager Bobby Valentine made...

Anyone know a good butcher in the northeast jersey area that processes deer meat (burgers, sausage, jerky etc)?

Hit the Ramapo for a couple hours last night after I got back from a weekend away and found this nymph that I've never seen before. It was probably three times the size of the other mayfly nymphs on the rock and instead of crawling was snapping itself almost like a shrimp would do out of water...

Spent a week down in Pawley's Island for a family vacation. My brother-in law and I took a guide out for Redfish (red drum/red bass). Neither of us had fly fished in salt water before, so the learning curve was a little longer than what it probably should have been which resulted in missed...

Had an excellent day on the water Sunday…caught one really nice brown (guessing around 18”, but solid) and lost count of how many smaller wild browns I caught. Only saw one fish rise the entire time, but still managed to pick up three on dries that hit my indicator fly. I also caught this...

My Buddy and I are planning on going fly fishing in PA for an extended weekend in the spring for trout. We both live in NJ (one in south and one in North) and have very limited experience fishing in PA. We're looking for somewhere off the beaten path - preferably trout streams/rivers (no...
