Need some recon info please. Have not been able to get out much this year. Have a chance tonight and want to hit SBR. What's on the menu right now? Califon - KLG area. Thanks.

Old model. Not the current Mirage.

I will finally be able to fish for a few hours tomorrow after many weeks. Since I am an hour away from all major streams and can't see them, any suggestions on which might be fishing well? Is there water? Just weighing my options as I can also hit NY Croton system in same time. Thanks

Did they finish the Hazel St Bridge? Heading up for first time this year. Want to know if the road is open in both directions. Thanks. Tight lines.

Stumbled onto this Jerry Bartlett Catskill site's interactive hatch chart. Pretty cool. Esopus Creek Hatch Chart

Attention Yankee fans. The July 14 issue of Yankee magazine has a nice series of articles about Babe Ruth. 100 years since he debuted. One article discusses how the Babe used to fish the Big Flatbrook and Lake Oquitunk, and that he frequented Gyp's tavern back in the day. It says Gyp's...

Does anyone have a recipe for this? It looks like the parachute hackle is grizzly with dun CDC wings. How would you tie in the CDC for this style? Picture copied from DRC website. Thanks

I have to unload a couple items. Need to sell my St. Croix Avid. 9 foot, 5 wt, 2pc. with tube. Very good condition. I used it for my back up rod on my trips to WB. I bought in 2007. I would say it's a medium fast rod. Cabelas still sells them new for $260 right now. It can cast an entire...

What spinners should I have besides rusty? I carry rusty spinners in sz 14 -18 but do not have any other colors. I want to know if there are any other go to spinners that I should have. Do you have a pattern that seems to produce more than others? I'm trying to crack the code. A rusty...

Got this from the main TU website. Looks tasty. Instructions Tied by Tim Schultheis Hook: Curved Shank #14 Thread: 8/0 - Yellow Tail/Shuck: Wood Duck and Tan Z-Lon Abdomen: Pheasant Tail Rib: Copper Wire Thorax: Sulphur Dry Fly Dubbing Wing: CDC Hackle: Cream (Parachute Style) Fish in the...

Can we talk pontoon boats for a minute? Like em or hate em? I floated the WB once on a pontoon and liked it. I am considering purchasing one as I can get a good deal now on a 9 footer. The only con that I can see is that you have to remain seated, or anchor where you can jump off. It...

This should fix the system for all. Drift Boat Etiquette: Rules of the Road | Hatch Magazine - Fly Fishing, etc.

Anyone have any good apple caddis recipes? looking to tie dry and emergers. Headed to Catskills next weekend. The shops are usually sold out when I get there.

Gentlemen, What's a good age to start a kid fly fishing. Please don't tell me when they can walk. Seriously, it was a huge task when I was 18 to try and adapt to it. Can a kid go from a Zebco to the fly, or should they learn to use a spinning reel first? Appreciate your thoughts.

Caught this guy in a TM area. Attacked a rainbow deceiver. Nice pink belly and developed fins. Does it look like a holdover stockie or wild? It was about 10".

I could use a little help here. I've been attempting to tie some Catskill style drys and I'm having trouble with the hackle. My flies never seem to look like there is enough on there. I've been going with about 8 wraps. Is this enough? Do I need to use two hackles to get a fuller wing? I...

Hi all, I am considering selling my Scott E2 8ft 3wt 4pc rod. The rod is one year old and in excellent condition. It is med/fast action and comes with the bag and tube. Brand new the rod was $475.00. I also have an Orvis Mid-Arbor II spooled with backing and Orvis Wonderline WF3F line...

Has anyone fished the 555 line with the "ghost tip" ? It sounds interesting but I am wondering if I will still be able to use my line tip to detect strikes. I rarely use a strike indicator. How invisible is this tip? I have not seen the line in person. Thanks.

I'm sort of new to tying and need some advise. How do I tie goose biots in a V shape when I'm tying a Prince Nymph? Should I tie them in one at a time or hold them together and wrap them together. I've tried a thread bump for the tails and that helped a bit. What about the wings though...

Hi folks. I'm trying to save a trip to the shop later today since it'll probably be snowing. Does anybody have a scan of a hackle gauge (to scale) they can post so I can print one out for use. I figure I could glue it to a block of wood with some spray adhesive and bend the hackle around a push...
