Re: Sunglasses

I sometimes think about trying Costa's simply because I'm a sucker for marketing and the 'buzz' about some products.
It's been about 12 years and my Maui Jim's just keep on working and working very...

Re: What is the best trout fly reel ever made?

charged, besides being one heck of a good sales feature if a reel has a low start-up inertia it can help save a break off if you happen to nab a fish at the limit of your tippet strength. During the...

Re: The Ultimate "FITW" Trout Flies Assortment

This looks like one heck of a deal. If I was in the market for flies or boxes I would leap on this.
A pile of flies at less than .75 each along with a presentation box and smaller box for your vest...

Re: Newby casting dilema

I like this option best. You already have a leader nail knotted to your line so cut the leader off a few inches from the nail knot, put a perfection loop in the end and another in the end of the...

Re: Alaskans to D.C.: Stop Pebble Mine From Destroying 14,000 American Jobs

Re: Yard Practice ?

Given the choice of not practicing because there is no water around or practicing on grass, I'll take the practice every time and any time I can squeeze it in.

Re: Alaskans to D.C.: Stop Pebble Mine From Destroying 14,000 American Jobs

True that, but did the echo chamber also inform you of how many refineries were closed 30-35 years ago to drive supply down and prices up? You may think that the oil companies have nothing but the...

Re: Name that Reel Game

Any chance of seeing the back side of a spool?

Re: Yard Practice ?

There might be a touch of windage there but not much it seems. Knotted leaders were all we had for years. With the knots my biggest problems are weeds and other junk getting caught by them and my...

Re: Finally, What a Day!

That picture looks like a spot I stood at 12-13 years ago while on a long road trip/vacation and landed my first landlocked.
Is that the Connecticut by any chance?
Nice fish and report. Thanks for...

Re: Yard Practice ?

You can always make a cheap tapered leader by tying 2-4 pieces of mono together stepping down a few .001" with each section.

Re: Evolution of an Angler

There appears to be different levels of how this sport is done. Anywhere from kiliing every fish caught to not fishing (or fishing like my pal Eddie who gets the same results as not fishing!)

Re: Sharkskin

Since you already have the 10 weight Sharkskin you might as well use it. Just get some stripping guards and enjoy. They can be easily found via Google.

Re: Casting Sink Tips or Masochism?

Practice until you find the sweet spot amount of overhang needed to make the cast work best for you and your rig.
You mentioned double haul which leads me to believe you're false casting. Try one...

Re: Orvis to Acquire the Scientific Anglers and Ross Reels Businesses from 3M

Re: 6wt bass taper ?

The more powerful front end of a bass line helps turn over big, bulky. Flies.

Re: Orvis to Acquire the Scientific Anglers and Ross Reels Businesses from 3M

I was under the impression that Orvis spent a huge amount of money on the equipment needed to manufacture their own lines and did so right here in the U.S.A.
