I tied up a bunch of smaller clousers a couple of nights ago. Last night while admiring my handy work, I noticed that if I run my fingers along the bucktail, I sometimes pull out a couple of fibers. Is this a common problem? Am I not cranking down on the thread enough? I tried applying a...

Myself and buddy of mine are interested in floating the Lehigh with a guide sometime later in March or early April. Anybody have any suggestions for some good guides to contact? Any idea on average cost? Thanks.

The wife sent me out to buy my own Christmas present yesterday. Not a bad deal at all... I settled on a new vise...a Renzetti Traveler, my first nice vise. I wound up having to settle for a display model, as the store only had left-handed versions in an unopened state. I got the original...

I just found out that I may be in and around the Okemo mountain area the last week of the year. I know this is last minute, but does anyone have any recommendations for a fly fishing guide? I am aware that the Vermont fishing season is closed, but understand that some sections of certain...

I remember reading a story a while back about a guy who caught every species of trout. In fact, I believe he did it using the same rod. Does anyone know that guy's name and where I can get more information about him? Thanks.

I have the opportunity to fish one of the sounds down in the Outer Banks, possibly next week. I have fished there before using conventional tackle, but wanted to make the switch over to fly fishing for the upcoming trip. I've mainly encountered some small stripers, small speckled trout, and...

I've been in the market for a new set up, mainly for use in NJ and the once or twice a year trip to fish the upper delaware. I have already purchased an Orvis Battenkill Mid-Arbor III reel (the extra spool deal was too good to pass up) and have been looking at rods in the low 200s. I've been...

I tied up five American March Browns last night, to kick off my winter tying session. I managed to nail the first two or three, but kind of tailed off after that (something I need to work on). The biggest gripe I have with the last two or three is that the mallard flank wings seem too thick...

I am thinking about heading out for some smallie action later this week. Anyone have any thoughts on the North Branch of the Raritan? I've spent some time around AT&T off of 202, but only ever managed a couple of stocked trout (probably no longer around) and some really small smallmouths...

I've been watching (and rewatching) Trout Bums Volumes 1 and 2, and thoroughly enjoy them. However, I realize that I could use a good how to dvd that gets into such things as reading the water, setting up drifts, mending, etc... I have a Cabelas' DVD and an older one by a gentleman who's name...

Hey guys, I'm starting to amass a lot of flies I've tied and am looking for some better solutions to store them (even the bad ones). Right now, I'm working with two plastic fly boxes that each have one flat foam insert and one ribbed foam insert. I'm typically storing larger flies like...

I'm heading up to the West Branch Angler this weekend. In checking out the weather for the next week, I'm seeing a lot of rain. How is this forecasted weather going to affect the weekend fishing? How quickly will things on the West Branch get blown out? Thanks.

I'm looking to get into tying. My wife asked me the other day what I wanted for Christmas, and I said a tying kit. At the time, I was looking at the Orvis catalog and thought their premium fly tying kit ($300) looked pretty good. But, truth be told, I have no idea what I'm talking about. Can...

I just got my first fly rod, and I have taken a fly casting lesson. I've been practicing, but I'm sure I'll be lost out on the water. I was thinking about perhaps seeking the services of a guide. I am located in Central NJ, and would be interested in someone familar with the KLG (as well as...
