Re: Caddidflies
Hello all,
From my experience color doesn't seem to make too much difference. Where I fish there is never really a hatch of one species. Usually a mix of different species in any one moment.

Re: want opinions on fly fishing vests....
After three vests I thought it might be time to try the Orvis Guide Sling. A nice change in gear, it works well. It gives me enough room and freedom of movement. Worth the extra $$

Re: New Pope
Walk on water huh? Combine that with one excellent staff and there you have it - The Complete Angler. Would be cool if Francis I has a fond memory or two of being on the wading and casting side.;)

Re: what would you buy??
A good light with a magnifier is worth the few extra $$. Small hook sizes aren't as daunting and practice makes perfect. LOL

Re: Why we do it
I watched a couple of folks catching grayling, rainbow trout and silver salmon when I was a wee nipper in Alaska.

Re: Strange things we do or don't do
I try to remember my fishing license and carry it while fishing.
At the end of the day, make sure the fly rod and reel have been put away instead of laying on top of the camper shell unsecured.

Re: Do you buy or tie?
I enjoy trying to tie stuff that looks roughly like what the natives may see, and hope they ride right in the film. Have to admit I gotta have the time, patience and enough magnification to crank...

Re: What's the worst fly rod you've ever had?

Re: A couple of dry black Numbers
MFF,
