Gotta love King season!

Fly-Fishing Secrets of the Ancients: A Celebration of Five Centuries of Lore and Wisdom Anybody read it yet? Looks interesting

Found this in my in box this evening: Lake Hopatcong Water Level Management – Response from the State Early last week I received a letter from Director of Watershed Management Larry Baier written on behalf of Mark Mauriello, Acting Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental...

Just finished "Inventing Montana" . I think one would enjoy this book more if they are tuned into the Western Fly Fishing scene. What's everyone else reading? Any good suggestions?

I've gone up twice now to fish 18 Mile and this year we stopped by Oak Orchard too. Can anyone recommend a book or an online list of the better tribs? I'd really like to get away from the crowds even at the expense of numbers.

It was VERY crowded!!!!! We stopped by Oak Orchard on the second day and it was no better!!! The fishing was good for the Kings but on Sunday and Monday morning there wasn't many Trout being caught. Monday afternoon I finaly caught a Brown but he was small. On Tuesday morning I caught a...

Heading up there in 2 weeks for a few days, anybody been fishing there lately? How is the water levels and how has the fishing been?

Anybody been up there fishing lately? Water looks high but I might give it a chance this weekend.

Want to go this weekend around the gap. Does anyone know the condition of the river? I can see it's ripping but is it clear? If not I'll hit a trout stream. When is the last time you could say that the end of June ?

Had the day off from work. My original plan was to fish the Big D for Smallies but that river looked blown out by the river gauge so I changed plans and headed for the South Branch instead. Ideal conditions. Falling water slightly off color. The two hot flies were big stonefly nymphs and...

Fished the Musky yesterday and one of my stops was the TCA. In a riffle I caught around 9 rainbows from 5 to 8 inches long. Most had good color but I still think they were hatchery fish. I know some on the board help stock there, did you guys notice all those little Trout or did I hit a...

Can anybody recommend where to send a Hardy reel to get repaired?

Almost :looser: Only managed 2 in about 2 1/2 hours of fishing. Plenty of caddis but no takers. Deep Sparkle Pupa went untouched as did the scud, BH Prince, Copper John, Brown Wolly Bugger and HE soft hackle. Wow. The 2 I caught were on a #16 Lightning Bug. Made a move upstream but still...

By Izakk Walton. Has anybody read this book? Does anybody know of an edition written in modern English? Also, how about James Prosek's version about going to England to fish in Walton's footsteps?

Tried some of the Ice dubbing on the thorax of some Copper John's I tied up this afternoon. I wasn't that impressed. I thought it would be a time saver but the effect wasn't what I expected. I think I'll stick with the Herl, at least for the Copper John. Anyone use the ice dubbing? On what...

Need some advice. I'm an "adequate tier" but always strive for perfection in the look of my flies. I know they"ll catch fish but I'm always trying to improve the look of my flies. I tie a fair Copper John but have trouble with the last step. How do you get the epoxy to look like John Barr...

Hats off to all the volunteers that made it possible. Musconetcong River again fish-friendly | Daily Record | Daily Record

Anybody from this forum fishing there today? Talked to 2 fly fishermen. Was surprised to see another fisherman there. Went down early for some smallie action but the fishing was slow. Only managed 3 small ones and a small Walleye. Got out of there around 10:30 when the boat traffic...
