Get your mind out of the gutter!
I'm referring to problems I've had missing far too many strikes and experiencing too many LDR's when fishing boobies deep.
They're very effective flies but I think there's sort of an intrinsic disadvantage with a bouyant fly rising off a fast sinking line on...
Spent a wonderful 8 days visiting and cruising the inland waterways north of Sitka with an old friend who lives there. Our main interest was flyfishing the streams and their mouths for searun Dollies and Cutts. Although the quest was futile (runs were not yet occurring), I did learn a few...
I'm sure we've all had the experience (and occasional frustration) of fishing with a friend who is having a very productive day who kindly loans you one of the very same flies....only to find it's simply not working for you, despite your attempt to mimic your buddy's presentation in every...

I've long used Scotty rod holders for my...
Any tips (pun intended) about how to keep the thin needle tips unclogged after short storage? I follow Loon directions (keep out of light and place needle top on tip). Within 24 hours or less the needle tip is completely clogged...even though storage directions are followed and the bottle with...
Done with Sage, and thinking about getting an Echo Stillwater 5wt 10'. Any experience with the Stillwater, as well as Echo product quality and service?
