I didn't know he could do that!

Well, after the last thread about me liking to fish alone, I brought my 21-year-old son fishing tonight. He said he would like to try to fish again. He was having a bad, bad day and he agreed he...

Re: Fish alone or with friends?

My wife thinks I am nuts, too. I went out once this past December in the pouring rain. It rained for five days in a row non-stop. I was fishing two of those days. It was great!!!! Caught the...

Re: Fish alone or with friends?

You nailed it. However, I have only really gone fly fishing with an older gentleman twice. I met another REALLY old guy who lives near me 60 miles away on a stream one day. We plan on going...

Fish alone or with friends?

Re: Casting into the wind

Really? I must be doing something seriously wrong because doing this is my normal mishap...and I still couldn't get it to work. I have no doubt this probably works but since I stop my forward cast...

Re: Casting into the wind

I think I understand. The "flatter" the fly, the less wind resistance...as long as you keep it parallel to the "wind" and it is not on an angle; otherwise, the wind might get a hold of it and make...

Re: Casting into the wind

This sounds really intriguing...does it really work? How can it be any different than the forward cast?

I take it you would use a side-arm approach along with this...

Casting into the wind

Okay, guys. I tried. I deliberately left the spinning rod in the trunk and took the fly rod on the small lake I fish yesterday. The wind was blowing. And blowing. And blowing. No matter where I...

Re: Bless me Father, for I have sinned

Thanks for all the replies.

I hope you all knew this was tongue-in-cheek. :)


I really SHOULD have taken the fly rod out, no matter how windy it was, and practiced. Lord knows I need more...

Re: Robin Williams: "Mrs. Doubtfire."

Old Bill Cosby stuff was really good, too. Especially whenever he talked about growing up or his wife and kids.

I'm sorry!! I truly am sorry!!!!! :banned:

I thought if I told the truth, I would be redeemed, but all I did was make it worse! Oh, how things can just snowball out of control.

Re: Arrrrgggghhhhh! And I'm no Pirate!

Great story!

The kids did good. :starwars: It had to be thrilling to see a 5-year-old catch his first trout!

Re: Mini Practice Fly Rod

Thanks, silver!

I have an old 4' 6" ultra light spinning rod that my daughter used when she was a munchkin...actually, she never stopped using it until she "outgrew" fishing at 16 years old. I...

Re: Mini Practice Fly Rod

Hello, Silver Creek.

I know this is a really old thread. :)

What is "Tow Yarn"? I can't seem to open the link. And which is better? Tow yarn or macrame cord?

I want to try to make one...

Hello, jaybo.

Where did you go? International Angler? If so, who was your instructor? I took a casting lesson there when I first bought my rod and reel there. I cannot remember his name:...

Now what am I doing wrong?!

It was a very nice day today, albeit somewhat windy, so I figured I would go to one of those little ponds I found during lunch to at least see what it was like and to practice.

I see there is...

Sometimes I think I write too many words and I tried to summarize the best I could.

Got out for the very first time this year on Saturday. I went to Dunbar Creek here in southwestern PA. It was a beautiful, sunny, 40-some-degree day. I woke up early and just decided to get the...
