Re: Question - Yellowstone Park Cutthroats

Sounds like the NE quad is the target.

Thanks guys for your input. Funny, the Lamar was my destination last summer when bad timing (chip sealing the road) shut me down. Ooh I can't wait!

Re: bleaching herl instructions ?

That's a good question... is the goal to strip the quill or change the color?

The main reason I prefer the scientific names (versus the common names) other than the point illustrated above, is that it narrows down the subtleties of the specific insect.

Case in point -...

Re: green drake emerger pattern

Interesting "east meets west" theme going on here... I'm pretty sure (given his location) that powderfinger is referring to the Green Drake as in Ephemera guttulata, and the (western) Green Drake -...

Thumbs up Re: Whitefish

Only my third year living out west, so I still get a kick out of them... And they've already been the highlight of a few trips that would have been (otherwise) miserable.

Re: New PA guy

Eunan,

See my previous post on this thread, you guys should get together and car pool it to the Lehigh Valley. Those streams are teaming with trout... MUCH more productive than Valley Creek! You...

I want you to get out your PA Atlas & Gazatteer and plot a course for the Lehigh Valley Region about an hour+ drive north of you. Find the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area and seek out...

Re: Will I kill 'em?

Good advice given here already regarding carrying a thermometer... great idea once the flows drop off and the temp's heat up. It would probably surprise some that many of the "storied" trout streams...

Re: Evolution of an Angler

I just don't get it... If you're going to mess with a feeding fish, why not go ahead and try to catch it? Can't the mere act of luring a fish away from it's feeding lie cause it grief in a "compete...

Re: Bucket List MUST Fish Fisheries of the EAST?

Those that would be fighting on your (our) behalf.

Re: Nymphs for smallmouth bass?

Back in PA I used to fish the Delaware and Lehigh Rivers for smallmouth bass. These are both large rivers (300+ feet across) and I did best in areas where islands broke the river down into smaller...

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

Yes. Not now, not tomorrow, maybe not in this decade (first feed was always targeted around 2018)... but it will go ahead. They always do (eventually).
