I was wondering if I could nymph fish them,I kinda thought they needed some sort of stimulation like raising they fly towards the surface . I'm the Saxton Falls section of the musky is the closest...
The z-axis is an awesome rod, its the last rod i had to buy. It'll be while before i use it for trout. Im definitely going to try to do more smallmouth fishing, with that rod. Im gunna try the...
I just bought the Z-Axis 4100-4 from HRO and tried it out on the Rockaway River. Water Temp at 7 A.M. was 72 degrees, too hot to fish for trout so I tried for the smallmouth. I was surprised to see...
Yeah the didymo is pretty depressing. I was real hard to fish the south holston when it was covered and the didymo on the WB didn't even bloom yet. It just looks like silt on the rocks. Its pathetic...
West Branch was definitlely a lot of fun and as Aaron said, where are the little ones? That rainbow I caught was the smallest of the day. You would think that the small ones would be in the riffles,...
If your not doing it, try setting the hook downstream. I. I don't know if this is the problem but an upstream hook set will tend to pull the fly out of the fishes mouth, causing a bad hookset.
hey, I had a personal nymph clinic with Aaron today at Resica Falls, Pa. Its amazing the water where these trout will be lying. We fished the riffles, runs and pocket water, catching fish all day. He...
Nice fish. I should have come.
Little late on the post, but it was a hell of a time up there with aaron. It was definitely tough fishing, but the end of the day definitely made up for it. When the temps are in the twenties, you...
I used to have 9wt GL3( stolen in Tennessee) for saltwater fishing. Now all I have is an 8wt. Since most of my saltwater fishing will be from a boat in Florida, should I buy and 8wt intermediate and...
Thanks for the input. I did find the book on amozon for around 60 dollars. I don't have time to much fishing anymore, but I do have time to sneak in some reading. Aaron loaned me Kelly Galloup's...
I saw this book The Fly Tier's Benchside Reference , at a local sporting goods store and I was wondering if anyone had an opinion or recommendation on a good book on fly tying, this one look very...
The rigging is really hard to grasp and fully understand. The hardest part is really the adjustments and being able to get the weights, the indicator, and and legnths correct. I was catching a bunch...
It was definitely an awsome day. It completely revamped my thoughts of the West Branch all together. I was amazed at the average size of these fish. I was truely great fishing, by 6:00 we both were...
That place looks awesome. I would'nt have gone back to work either.
Awesome fish Aaron. Hearing about your success on the Delaware makes me remember when we used to go there in 2001. Your fishing style and abilities have changed so much. It's interesting to see....
As for stealing and what fly fishing is coming to, we, as fly fisherman, take for granted the values that we have and encourage. We should try to encourage the strong ethical values that most of us...
Obviously, Aaron and I left on thursday but I feel like we should have kept plugging along despite our loss and difficulties on the river. We both lost focus on the river and had some major problems....
Today we were flying solo w/o Rod but we did get an awesome streamer tying lesson from him in the morning. I've never seen anything like his streamers in any store. The more time we spend with him...
We just fished with the real when it comes to streamer fishing. Rod Salyers from Tight Lines Fly Fishing knows what it takes to get the big oned. There is no book out there that you can find his...
Aaron, we 'll be two and a half hours away from there when we go to the south holston in July. Lets take a ride and find out for ourselves.
Depressing cause I can't make it up there on sunday. My parents are up from florida and tomorrow is a barbeque. Aaron you should visit them this week. Convince me to take off to go fishing this...
Aaron and I went to the Rockaway river on Monday night to kill some time fishing dry flies. He ended up showing me how to properly end a cast. He was watching me roll cast when he saw that i was...
Nice post, I've been wanting to take aaron's boat up to Splitrock resivior, but needed to know some tactics. These flies are a good start and ill try that method. Thanks
