My Cherry-Poppin, Pole bending, Fly fishing folly...Rogue River (Not what you think) (Tom Wolfe Anyone?) Any how...my first dive into fly fishing captures all of these posts. I go out with my pal on a stealheading trip to the Rogue river (Grand Rapids, MI) and he walks up with a sage rod (hat...

I use the 4/0 to 6/0 gami or owner unless I can find the hooks in the black packaging with red lettering. I don't know what they're called but they are sharp, really sharp and made of a thinner diameter metal, which I think helps with my hook-ups. I like texas rigged plastic for flipping...

The best thing to do is, firstly don't tell anyone where it's at. Secondly, get your fly rod and practice your casting on em. A two pound bull bluegill will pull like a freight train on a five weight fly rod. Thirdly, catch a few of the ten inchers (the small ones, I can't believe those would...

This conversation has been debated for decades and probably decades before that. Here is a quote to wrap this up from Francis H. Ames one of Oregon's historically great outdoor writers and overall iconic outdoor enthusiasts. If you don't know who he is read 'Fishing the Oregon Country.' This...

Thanks for all the info, looks like I'll be gearing up a bit with my spinning/casting outfits. However, If you ever see a guy frantically running through a stream that's me not taking sound advice and going with the 5# in spite of all these great tips. Again many thanks.

Want to try and fish some small streams with a fly rod for Steelhead. Would I be insane to even attempt a 5#. I've seen it done in Michigan but the steel seems smaller.

Most of my experience comes from fishing the Deschutes and a few other tiny streams, but in general similiar techniques apply. Firstly when nymphing I don't usually fish water over five feet deep (therefore no split weight is needed). I also use a tandem rig (dropper) commonly a stone fly...

My apologies that was stupid and irresponsible, please see above.

oops....read into that completely the wrong way. Yikes........!!!!!!!!! I am sooo sorry. One more comment due to my embarassment. A soap box moment. I fear that society is becoming erovocably cinical due to internet blogs and posts on any number of websites. In person most people wouldn't...

My last post on OFF. Thx everyone for the info. I've tried to assist people but never got any good response to it so....to all that post informative comments; thank you. Jeff

I think the whole point of this was lost in the scrum. Moby, I've sold fishing supplies at a fishing store for two years (five years ago) and have been fishing my whole life. Here is a list of spinning reels to look at and why. Under $20: Quantum Optix (good for light to ultra light tackle...

I sold guns for two years and have been shooting shotguns since I could hold one. Personally I've never seen a remington auto jam, and the pumps my family use are flawless. When I'd go hunting (deer w/ slugs) the remington pump wingmaster worked effortlessly and without any trouble at all. I...

BC Angling Post. They've got the tools, material and know how to get you rolling, or spinning rather.

That just inspired me to get a new vice, mine is stripped. That's it; next pay check, new vice and new sturgeon rod. Two things you can't live without. Oh and replace that broken baitcasting reel, and the wading boots I don't like, and the shotgun I don't have and the spinner components I...

If you open using Mozilla Firefox you get this message but interestingly enough Explorer won't. Seems odd.
