Re: First fish ever in North America!

Glad to hear that you finally got into fish. It's a joy that can't be had in any other style except maybe Tenkara. Hope the luck holds out for you and your friend. Best of luck!

Re: The Ultimate "FITW" Trout Flies Assortment

Just received my 50 piece+13 package today. Very nicely done and a great little box, and the mustad box. Will cherish the kids flies and keep them for my hat!

Re: Dear God, this guy was lucky!

Re: First dumb question ...

Peterjay I had to laugh. For years I have told people a "pole" is for telephone wires and strippers, not something you fish with. Gets some funny looks when you correct people.

Re: Going back to the Old, new-Fashioned Vest

I just replaced my vest after 25 years. It's a columbia that has worked great, only it's solid material. It's hell in summer, so this year I got a Orvis mesh vest. Wow, lighter and cooler. At my age...

Re: Lunchbreak gill bustin!!

Nice fish. Love the 'gills. Sad some turn their noses up on these great little fish. Got a 11.5" one on a popper once. Thought it was a bass for a min.

Re: A Thread for the Dry Fly Purist;

Dry fly or go home. Sorry, I had to get it out of my system. My first love is to toss a dry and watch it float along with hopes and dreams in my mind.

Re: 2013 5-Weight Shootout

It's funny how sensitive we get about "our" rods when these tests come back. I'm kinda a 'Loomis junkie and so I liked it that they came out on top. However I have added a Zenith and a Streamflex...

Re: Favorite gill flies?

For sub-surface I like small buggers in black, purple and olive. On top small poppers and foam beatles. Check breambugs.com.
