OK, this might be in the wrong forum but I will give it a shot. A friend's dad passed away in January, he was an avid fly fisherman in Maine. My friend is going to put up his dad's stuff for an auction in upstate NY and he passed the list of items on to me (below) asking me if any of it is "any...

I got early this season the new Rio Nymph line which I like for the most part, but I can't help myself feeling that the long bright orange fluorescent tip "bothers" trout. Well, it definitively bothers me. So I was thinking if I could dye the tip to a more natural/muted color and if so, what...

Izaak Walton tried to write a chapter about him, but was at a loss for words, Trout rise to just see his shirt, Grizzlies admire his skill, He calls wooly buggers by their first name, He made a tailing loop once, just to see how it feels, He is the the most interesting fly fisherman there is...

Just wanted to share with you that there was a fatality this weekend on the Colorado River. A fisherman in a drift boat fell overboard in fast & high water and is missing since. This is very sad and reminds you that you should be wearing PFD's while floating big rivers or even fishing a lake...

I will be heading in 9 days to Park City/UT to visit family and plan to "escape" for two days, fishing the Provo River. From the research I have done online, it looks like the Middle and Lower Sections seem to have decent public access - and lots of fish :bigfish: Has anybody been out there...

Anybody tried this? Seems like an excellent idea, since I always cringe when I see that monster trout going after my strike indicator instead my nymph... Fly Fishing Life Magazine Volume 1, Number 1 - Bookshelf Tigth Lines, -K ps: going fishing on Sunday!!!! Yeah!

So there is this "brand new technique", called the Moffitt System (moffittangling.com), looking similar to bead fishing. It claims to be more fish friendly etc.... Did anybody try this, is it worth the effort? At first sight, looks like another gimmick to lure $$$ out of our pockets. Karel

OK, this question has been bugging me for a while so I want to know if anybody knows: Why are we using for fly fishing tippet brands like Frog Hair, Rio, 3M/SA etc. and not the tippet/mono material like Stren, Maxima, Trilene, Sufix etc.? Is there any rationale? I noticed that the fly fishing...

Just came accross this blog, unbelievable what size that fish is...WOW! unfortunately it's not mine, lol Where to Now? My endless journey... that's something to dream about.

Went up to South Platte in the Deckers are yesterday and had a blast fishing, though conditions were pretty tough with low, gin clear water (67cfs) and very windy. Normal good flow would be 250 but it's fishable up to about 600cfs. The expected BWO hatch never materialized, probably because of...

As a continuation to the thread "So Long", I will start a thread with my local experience, fishing trips, adventures and the "odd" things here in Colorado. Finally got somewhat settled in, 90% of the boxes are unpacked. We now have a finished basement and a 2-car garage... I am claiming the...

After giving the NYC/NJ area a good try for almost 9 years, we decided to move out West to Denver. We will move out on Friday... I would like to thank Dennis and everybody on the forum for providing such a great platform for information and also new friends! I will keep checking on what's going...

I will be moving this spring cross country to Colorado and realized how much stuff we have in that small house of ours. I have been fly fishing for 10 years now and have amassed a huge amount of fly fishing and tying magazines, both domestic and international. Currently I am subscribing to 6 o...

Went in December to Las Vegas for a conference, and the leisure activities were either taking a spin with a NASCAR race car or fly fish Lake Las Vegas... of course I went for the fly fishing. Supposedly, the lake has a really good bass population as well as Great Basin Bonefish... aka Carp. I...

Hi All in NJ, Just heard from my buddy at work who lives down in East Brunswick that when some company came to pump out his septic tank, they mentioned nonchalantly that they will dispose the waste in some river, near a treatment plant in NJ. Since that doesn't sound like the way septic waste...
