Sand-colored fly box lost in lower West Branch, around Hancock & Shehawken. If found, please alert me. Cash reward possible.

I am making balsa pencil poppers that are 2 inches long, and word is the best hook to use is the Mustad 9674. But I don't know the exact size hook to get. I would need a 2 1/4 inch long hook to allow for tying on a marabou tail. Does anyone know the exact size of that? 1/0, 2/0, x-long? or...

In need of advice. Got first weekend of December open, and would like to fly fish the coast for some stripers. Anyone know where the best bets would be to pitch camp? Jersey coast, NY coast? No boat, just walking the beaches, etc. Any info appreciated.

In need of some help attaching a hook keeper to my TFO 9-weight (don't know why my TFO would come without one, but...). I'd like to attach one, but I don't know how to do it. Anyone have good advice in size of hook keeper to get and how best to attach. Simple, I'm assuming, is best here. Any...

I'm in need of some advice. I have a rod with an uplocking ring that is too fat (1/2 in.) and difficult to tighten over the reel foot, thus the reel is not on too securely... Do I need a whole new rod seat? Can I change the ring? Do I send it someplace for a better rod seat with a better ring?

Any of you Salmon River guys have info on Smallmouth in the Salmon River? Does the Salmon have good smallmouth fly fishing? If so, when is the best time, and what part of the river, lower, middle or upper? Any info appreciated.

Advice needed, For lack of adequate travel rods, is it appropriate to carry your two piece rod tubes on the plane, or tag it for the luggage compartment below? What's worked for many of you?

I need advice about Mid-April. I have the third week in April off and I'd like to take my kayak to the shore and Fly Fish for some stripers. The way the migrations go, I'm thinking South Jersey, like Cape May. Or is it still too early there? Would the Stripers be there, or more south that...

Anyone notice that these West Branch Delaware Rainbows & Browns are really strong this year? Hooking into those fifteen inch fish are straining my large 5wt rods, and putting me into my backing in seconds! Any insight into this?

I must say I'm beginning to be a Future Fanatic fan -- an FFF, if you will. Future, I swear you should be a lawyer arguing for Environmental causes in front of the Supreme Court. When you take a point of view, you really know how to support it. Anyway, you've been Future Fanatic for some time...

In need of questions answered about fly fishing from kayaks. Thinking of purchasing one, however the last one I was in hurt my back after a half hour--it was the type where you sit inside it. The "on top" styles seem to be catching on. Does the on type style hurt your back as much, or is it...

In need of strong advice, There's a good chance I'll be heading south to the Outer Banks in late June. I need all the information possible about fly fishing the surf at that time of year. All information is appreciated. Thanks. M.

Hello all, Looks like I've narrowed my research down on the pontoon boats. After years of consideration, I am leaning towards the Dave Scadden boats. Not sure yet of the best model. But an aluminum frame is very important to me, and the Scadden boats deliver on that count. Again, I would...

Greetings Gentlemen, Wondering if anybody has used the Toobie-shot system in place of the usual split-shot thing. Over the years I've grown to dislike adding split shot to my leader for several reasons, so I'm wondering if this Toobie-shot system is effective, efficient, and much easier. I...

Need some advice from the gentlemen who fish the salt. Is the fly fishing in Mystic Seaport, especially from the surf, good in late October? Any advice on this topic (where specifically to go, what to look for, what to use, etc.) would be most appreciated. Thanks. M.

Need some advice. If Pepacton Trout fishing season ends after Sept. 30th, can you still float your boat for smallmouth fishing? I know this sounds like a no-brainer, but those regs have tightened up a bit over there. Any info appreciated. M.
