Thanks for the replies all. I think I am headed to either a Humminbird Helix 5 or Garmin Striker Vivid 5. Mounting with an all enclosed fishfindermount.

I currently have a Fishin Buddy Max on my scout but for a variety of reasons I am thinking about upgrading to a different system. Contemplating going with a Humminbird Helix 5 and a mount/battery system from fishfindermounts.com. I'd consider going up to a 7" screen but since I bought my boat...

Yes I do wear reading glasses for tying all my knots now. Every since I had lens replacement surgery. Maybe I need an extra strength pair....lol

Are you saying that its illegal to fish two flies on a single fly rod in BC?

I have two issues with tying both lines to the eye of the upper fly. 1. The first one is just me. But I have a really hard time getting the second tippet through the same eye especially when the upper fly is a smaller balanced leech. Just can't see the hole well enough. 2. For whatever reason, I...

So over 60% said they tie the second fly off the bend of the hook of the upper fly. So does that mean that most of you are using barbed upper flies? I have had trouble with using barbless flies and having the line slip off the bend of the hook. Anybody else have this issue to the point where its...

Hotels, food, drinks, travel around town. Gimme a break. The entire hospitality industry is going to make money and that includes workers. Seattle will get tax revenue.

Tell me you know nothing about economics without telling me you know nothing about economics. "Litte return on their investments." Have you looked at the hotel prices they are getting in Seattle?

Well I am hitting a private pay to fish lake tomorrow and I plan to do some deep indicator fishing. So I rigged a setup with a slip strike indicator to give it a go. About 19-20ft down. I'll report how well it goes.

Three reasons. 1. I find it hard to get the right amount of tension on between the peg and the indicator body. Keep coming loose just during casting or tight enough to not do that then it doesn't come loose when fighting a fish. 2. And the bodies wear down too fast which leads to the problem...

My thoughts on your questions. No a new country will not win it. The big 5 or 6 are just too good. Yes some "lesser" teams can go on a run and beat the big boys. But they aren't likely to beat 3 or 4 big boys. No Brazil isn't winning this one. Yeah watch out for the Three Lions. Yeah I have...

Thanks for the post Shawn. Petty much what I do most of the time. One question though. Why do you have the peg down on your indicator. I have gone back and forth on this for years. Although after last trip out I am about totally done with slip strike indicators. I hate them. Just might stick...

So since my other one had some interesting stuff thought I'd post part 2. The question here is about how you rig the two flies. Yes there are other ways but these two are probably used 96+% of the time. And to be more clear I am talking about fishing a lake with a floating line and indicator system.

Well done, thanks for the report!

This is one of those "it depends." 1. Depends on the nominal # strength of the section the wind knot is in. 2. Depends on the size of fish I could catch in this place. Say I am using 3X and the biggest fish I suspect to catch is 3#. Then no probably not changing. 3. Depends on how many fish I...

So if you are fishing 2 flies. A leech and a midge. How do you arrange them. Leech up top and midge on the bottom of the opposite way?

What's all you guys go to floater for stillwater (mostly indicator) fishing these days. Need a new line. TIA

For those who have ordered flies from BC, how long does it usually take for them to arrive in the States?

Do you fish lakes? You might be a fly fisherman. If you do fish lakes do you cast and strip only? You might be a fly fisherman. If you do fish lakes do you cast out then "fin flip around" with your fly in the water? You are not a fly fisherman.....lol

Two buddies and I just got home from 2 days fishing a nearby reservoir. We spent 100% of the time fishing floating lines and indicators. Over the 2 days we figured we landed around 130 rainbows. 90% of them 15-18". The other 10% were 19-24". Fat as can be and strong fish. But trust me indicator...
