Haha. He said gals.
I think the key to this statement is "exhaustive". If you play a fish to the point of exhaustion, where lactic acid is built up in its system and it's undergoing tissue hypoxia, then hold it out of...
Here's what I've learned about weight. I can make a fly that is 50% heavier than the same fly by using tungsten and lead vs brass and little lead. I think the math says it will sink 32% faster...
I posted this awhile back. There's not a lot to go by. First start with the NYSDEC. Their sites are pretty good for stream access. I'll pm later with the info that was Pm'd to me.
Season closes...
I like the Swiss. Generally they're pretty good people. Not nearly the socialists the rest of Europe is. And any country that requires you to own an automatic rifle is fine by me. Germans aren't bad...
We need to liven this forum up a little.
So I wanted to get back to a really nice place I'd been once before but had yet to return to this summer. We went Saturday and had a spectacular day on...

First step - turn them INSIDE OUT. That's what I did.
I repaired them on the inside too. I sprayed on the inside also. Worked just as well, and I could re-spray a spot I was...
Ok I have a small pin hole leak somewhere on my back side. A quick YouTube search and here's what I came up with:
1. Turn them inside out
2. Use a spray bottle with 50/50 isopropyl and water...
Today was another good day. Caught this beauty

Not quite off topic, but part of the numbers geek in me....
If your a fan of baseball, a professor wrote a couple of pieces awhile back, theorizing that Coors field should be a hitters field,...
I read this article too. I generally try to do all of that, but didn't know about the "air time". Yet another reason I love fishing barb-less. I hate struggling with a fish, then trying to get the...
My wife told me that she was having a couple of girls over for brunch, and to make my self scarce. So off I went to my local water.
I had the morning so I stuck close. I needed to shake off a...
I use 12p finishing nails and two small o- rings. I only make a couple at a time because I can use a leader all season.
My quick tip: use ice water with salt to fast cool. Much quicker than the...
I use three strands of DNC.
That sucks. Please post something. I'd love to know a little about him.
Now Boise wants to tease us about fishing for headwater wild fish. Salt in the wound man. Salt.
I watched the second Gas Land last night. It paints both parties in a bad light. The Obama administration has sold out to cheap natural gas while eschewing the traditional base of "green" policies. ...
I'm on for next month. Ahod actually have the time.
No offense but who sells a shirt? A reel I get.
I've had good success in low skinny water with a rainbow warrior. Zebra midges of course are a staple.
My Dad has a 1935 ford that I drive all the time, plus the aforementioned 55 dump truck. I'd much rather cast a new rod and drive an old car.
Ford invented the padded dash board in the 50's. GM invented ABS in the late 70's. people saw it as gimmicky and marketing driven yet its all industry standard.
Technology is evolutionary and...
Sherpa: Orvis says that the fly line breaks before the welded loop does. Besides that the tippet always breaks first for me. I've never busted a loop on my fly lines. All rio right now.
Good report!
