AK, We were considering the South Holston in Tennessee and some other creeks in the Cherokee National Forest. Do you have any info on that area? As for the smokies, I know there are tons of little mountain streams, but are there any mid sized streams that can accommodate 2 guys? PM me if you...

Hey guys, If you had a choice of anywhere to fish within a 10 hour drive of the NY/NJ area, where would you go given the recent weather? Me and a buddy of mine had a trip planned for next week that got severely rained out, and we don't have the luxury of changing vacation time. We're willing...

my buddy doesn't really fish, so unfortunately it wasn't much of a fishing trip. I thought we'd head back out after a couple hours break, but wound up passing out at camp and taht was the end of the day for me. I might be up there again this saturday actually...you goin?

I have the Abel Creek and it is a very nice reel. It's my first click/pawl and I finally got to put it to its' first big fish test last week. The drag is very smooth and feels different than a disc drag reel...definitely protects light tippets well when adjusted properly. That being said, I...

Sorry guys...the rods are already spoken for.

I have somebody already interested in buying them. I'll let you know if anything changes.

Hey guys, I have 2 rods I'm trying to sell as a combo: 8' 4wt Temple Fork Outfitters LK Professional 8'6" 6wt Orvis Western Both are good rods and are in good condition. I'm asking $75 for both of them sold as a pair. Please PM me if you are interested. Thanks

This thread reminds me of something I meant to post about a while back. I had a run-in with good ole Mr. Caucci himself in front of his campground this past spring. I was with a buddy in my canoe with the flow at about 400cfs. There was literally a mob of his buddies blanketing the shallow...

Dan Baileys suck. I bought them based on their customer service guarantee(at the time) that any leaky waders could be returned to a retail store for replacement. Well, I put that to the test when they started leaking like crazy on me after about 3 months. I won't mention which shops I tried...

Dennis, is this official or do we need more participants?

Yea this is great. On a similar note, I have custom made 2 weights that are SPECIFICALLY made for bluegills. No other 2 weight compares when targeting bluegills. If anyone wants one, they're going at a limited time price of $600 each:looser:

Here we go again Wylie...like my original reply I posted to your comments on the other site, the topic is whether or not posting numerous pictures of fish with where they were caught attracts more attention...nothing else. I personally think it does. I already mentioned that I had learned a...

AK, I don't have any issue with people posting a picture of a trophy fish, or a nicely colored up fish, or ANY fish for that matter...all I'm saying is that if someone posts a gallery of pictures of nice fish and states where they were caught, they'll undoubtedly attract more attention to that...

The first part is well put, now add increased "advertisement" of these rivers to the increased population, and you get overcrowding. Population growth on its own isn't the only problem. As for one guy helping another out...I can only speak for myself, but I don't have an issue with that...

I have to echo what wbranch said...not sure how anyone can NOT think all this advertisement on the internet is inviting exponentially growing numbers of anglers. I'm not saying to never post a picture...but if you're going to post a pic of every single fish you caught, at least use some...

AGAIN, I'm not saying that the method isn't effective, and in fact I have used many variations of these techniques to catch fish. What bothers me is the way some of these guys inundate this and other sites with "the next best thing" in fly fishing,

Not sure how everyone else is fishing indicators, but my flies aren't dropping in a huge heap of line when they hit the water...they're basically fully extended from the indicator when they both hit the water and I've caught loads of fish during the first .5-2 seconds after the flies land(with...

It's doable, just be careful anchoring up in deeper water...especially if you're in the canoe alone with the weight concentrated at the back.
