A few years ago I lost-- somewhere-- my 4-weight Sage rod and reel, which I purchased directly from the hands of Kathy Beck at a fly fising store. Normally, I...
A little late to the party but here none the less. Finishing out a blanks is a great way to have a custom rod at a fraction of the cost of the higher end one....
I was up at BHC yesterday (6/1), and that (presumably) same fish was still swimming in the elbow pool. I also watched it for a good while...it kept a nose down...
I came across this link on another forum. This is for a series of fly tying shows out of Washington State. "Files are large - approx. 250meg each and come in...
This report is coming a bit late, but I feel an obligation to all of you whose posts I have enjoyed this spring. Family and work commitments kept me off the...
Jim, you caught me on that tight analogy between our desire for numbers and size with our instinct for hunting and gathering contrasted with the deadening of...

Robert, thanks for the great report: Spring Creek, the Little J, and the Yellow Breeches. You covered a lot of water. Cheers, Jed ... From: Robert Simpson...

I usually fish the sulpher in May and early June and can't recall how long the three sulper fly hatches usually last on the Gunpowder. I seem to think that the...

Loved the all to real report of buck fever. I seem to get it almost all the time. Last year early in the season I put on my boots but forgot to lace them and...

That has been my experience, though I tend to fish the trico's starting in July and don't stick around for the sulfers. Something about being a morning person?...
Dennis - You're right except that Rotunda is no long considered a separate species. The Dortheas usually last until about mid-July on the Gunpowder. (They may...
Yeah, I think I remember that now. At one time Rotunda was thought to be the female Red Quill of the dark Hendrickson, or something like that. ... From:...

For those who are interested in fly fishing on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, the Summer 2007 issue of Fly Tyer (pp 42-47) has a very informative article...
Good day on the Gunpowder. Caught a few with Caddis and a Sulpher emerger. Only fished 4 hours. What a pretty river. Cheers, Mark Mark Silinsky ... From:...
This is the final reminder of our outing this weekend. Bob Dietz has been fishing this treasure of a stream for several years now and last year, a few others...
I've posted messages in the past about water resistant digital cameras that anglers could use without fear of an accidental dunking destroying them. I settled...
I really love my Optio 43R....can take pictures down to about 1/2 inch and can be washed off or survive heavy rains and small dunkings, as Robert points out....

I can vouch for the 33WR -- we use it as our primary camera and it has taken close to 10,000 photos since we bought it 3 years ago -- it has survied several...
So, let's see, Matt, assuming 25 exposures to a roll, 10,000 photos would translate to 400 rolls of film. Developing along would cost at least $2/roll, so your...
Ahh very true -- this camera has paid for iteself time and again and again and again. I just picked up a roll of slide film today (36 exposures) that cost...
Sulpher Outing We are having a short notice sulpher outing on the Gunpowder Wednesday afternoon/evening June the 13th. We will be meeting at the Masemore...

Going up next weekend for our usual Fathers Day camping trip. Has anyone been up recently? I will be on the beaverkill in Roscoe and I understand the temps...
I've attached two pics I took on Cranberry River in WV with the W20. I love the Camera Play games, earn tickets, get cool prizes. Play now–it's FREE!...
I just finished reading Charles F. Gauvin's Since 1959 "From the president" on page 5 of TROUT spring 2007. It sounds to me like TU is attempting to be...

Hi Dennis, I haven't read the article yet, I am knee deep in deceivers and clousers I'm tying up for a friend who guides in Florida. My questions are these,...
Thanks Dennis and Jim for you thoughts on this issue...I have thought about this to quite a bit. Tough issue for me, too. In the long run I think I would...
An old line from the NJ fishing rulebooks of years ago: "NO TRESPASSING" signs follow litter lines. It has been my sad experience that when private landowners...
