So on Saturday evening I was at scudders falls enjoying the smallmouth action when I noticed a very large, subsurface wake screaming down stream in the main channel. I found this odd, but didn't pay much attention. Over the course of the next couple hours, this phenomenon occurred probably 20...

Gentlemen (and AK :))-- Help! I've tried nymphing, stripping and swinging streamers, and all I seem to catch are dinks. What am I doing wrong? Where's davethetrout? I'm realizing that this stretch of river may require a boat. hahaha. But any advice on how, where, when to get the smallies...

Ok guys- Need some help here. I want to fish the lower d between trenton and frenchtown this spring for the shad and striper runs. Looking for some advice, perhaps some one willing to show me a few things. My first thought is to head to the wing dam in Lambertville and try to get them as...

I don't know if any of you other guys subscribe to American Angler, but in the latest issue they did a short article on Southern brook charr (trout). As a side column they make mention of NJpatbee's work identifying the native NJ brook charr (trout). Kudos to Pat. Thanks for all your hard...

Hey guys, particularly those of you who are avid streamer fishermen. What would you recommend for a good streamer outfit. I'm not sure whether I should go with a 6 or 7 weight rod. I have some very large streamers I want to throw. I used to have a fly logic 5/6 FLO, but the thing sucked so I...

Guys- Brand new. Never been opened. Book by Ed Van Put on the history of fly fishing in the Catskills. It was a gift, but I'm strapped for cash, and only holding on to tying and technique books. I know you Beaverkill/Neversink junkies out there would love this book.

Fellas- I'm strapped for cash. As such I'm unloading my extraneous equipment and stripping down to the bare essentials. I have a Cortland Embassy 40 with spare spool I'm willing to part with. I'd liek to get about 90 bucks for it, but I will entertain other offers. This is a great small...

Hey guys- I'm headed to the Catskills for a week in September. I'll be staying in Phoenicia. I was hoping for some input of fishing the Esopus and, possibly, if its worth my while, the Schoharie. Renting a nice farmhouse right on one of the tribs to the Esopus. Thanks!

Hey fellas- Me again... On the weekend of the Fourth of August, I'm headed to a friends house in Sheffield in the Berkshires. I was hoping someone with a little local knowledge could fill me in on fishign the Upper Housatonic, or other are fishing that might prove productive. Thanks again.

Hey guys- My mom's family is from the captial district. We're headed up to Lake placid for a week to celebrate my grandmother's 80th birthday. I'm in charge of taking the men fly fishing. I know the Au Sable is right there and intend on giving it a go. Any useful info about spots or what...

Anyone ever use Rajeff's Echo2 rods? I was thinking about picking one up in a 9 or 10 weight for the salt.

Hey- Does anyone fish IBSP frequently? I'd like to try to get into slatwater fly fishing. IBSP seems to be the easiest place for me to get to. Any recommendations? What should I get interms of gear etc.? Thanks for your suggestions.

Has anyone tried fly logic rods and reels? I have a Fly Logic Optimum series rod 8'9" 5/6 wt. matched with a 5/6/7 Fly Logic Large Arbor reel. Its the rod and reel pictured. I got a great deal on the combo on ebay. Just wondering what people think about these rods. Some days I love it. Some...

Anybody have a lot of experience catching carp? I'm in Mercer County and trying to figure out places and techniques for hooking into these pigs once the water is too warm for the trout. Is it kinda like fishing for reds? Should I use a streamer? I was thinking olive buggers on a 6 wt. cast...

My usual go to caddis pupa is the lafontaine sparkle pupa. the other day i fished with a pattern a friend gave me, caught a lot of wild browns and promptly lost it. it was a pattern he got from someone else. I haven't been able to track down a recipe that's similar. It was a cream pupa with...

Do we have any members from SE PA or any who fish Valley Creek? I've been once. I don't know why but streams like Valley and the Bushkill with their extremely difficult browns intrigue me. Just hoping for some pointers. thanks.

Hey guys- I hope this post is ok with Dennis, but I wanted to tout my guide that I used in King Salmon, AK -- Patti Edel. She's a Jersey native, born and raised in my hometown of Pennington. After college at Boulder and some guiding in CO, she made the move up to the Alaskan Penninsula. Man, did...

Anybody fis the wet fly with regularity? I'm trying to work on my expertise with this method and looking for pointers. I always seem to resort to nymphing. I've read HUghes and Nemes, and I want to get better at fishing the wet fly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Fished the Stanton Station stretch of the SBR tonight for the first time. I've always zipped right past it headed further north. Really enjoyed the fishing. Didn't think much of the spot when I got there. Seemed slow and shallow. BUt there seemed to be plenty of trout downstream from teh bridge...

I was listening to NPR on my way to work the other day and heard an interview with someone involved with the restoration of the shad population on the brandywine in Delaware. Apparently, they are putting in fish ladders and taking other measures to give the shad a route over and around the dams...
