After getting into somefish last night I was up at 5:00 bright eyed and bushy tailed and really to at it again. Pull on the ole waders lace up the boots and jump into the truck...............something not right............no rod over my right shoulder.................after being froze to the core by 5 hours waist deep in cold water in breathables I left my rod rigged up. Turn around and no vest............no spare...........and another no spare. I'll leave the play by play out due to the family nature of the board. So I'm short Sage launch c/w orvis battenkill bar stock...and spare spool in the vest Scott V2 Berkley Enforcer c/w reel............................I know they don't know there arse from a hole in the ground......................who would steal a Berkley enforcer Fish pond vest with all the goodies inside.........comlete with my winters work of trout flies Jurys still out on my battenkill mid arbour for my 8wt might be in my tying room..........................hopin. Looks like I'm touring the pawn shops tonight.

I've been on them since Feb............................but the runs are only starting now.........geting the odd young female hovering backing and forth on the tides. Kelts and resident browns have made the year so far, but looking forward to fresh fish. I'm hoping to get into salmon this year, been lucky to be working with a guy who has fished for them on both sides of the pond for the last 40plus years and offered to take me out. Also geting great help on the fly tying from him he was taught by one of the best.......................lucked in for sure

I picked it up for 25 bucks, I don't know much about lines, I just run 444 on all my rod with a cheap-o sinking line on an extra spool for a change up. I don't know much about lines and was hoping that the multi color line would be at least a mid to upper quality line ...................sure even a crstyal river line will run you 20 bones. I'll find out when I get my rod kit put together I guess.

I bought a fly line that was new out of box hoping someone can help me ID it. Its a 4wf multi color line...............olive taper with a peach running line. see the pic

You guys need salt pork to make those muds taste right.

Aliant/bell.....wife downloaded a ring tone......................ring tone cost $2.50........................plus 22.35 for download transmission..................gotta love them.

not true for me......................bought one pair of hundy plus glasses, didn't last any longer than the 20 dollar jobie..................may it just me.

3-500 per pair at approx 3-4 pair per season....................a little bit too much for me........................gonna stick with the Rapalas at wally world for 16.99

I bought a 6wt V2 earlier in the year, very similar action to the Launch, If you like one you will like the other. They are discontinued so you should be able to get a good price on one...................got my 4 pc for 185 in NL (NIB), so you should be able to get a much bettre price out your way. The A2 is a little faster than the V2..........I thinking about the A2 in a 8wt for the Salmon.

He'll be three in August.......not actually 2'-6" btw. The second pic with the line wrapped around himself is from him actually trying to cast..........thought it was pretty funny my self. It not that he is overly interested in fishin'.......just loves to be outside, he was just as happy playing in the snow and throwing rocks in the pool. I think the flyfishing could fustrate the little ones, only reason I had the flyrod, is because I couldn't find the "winnie the pooh" rod i bought him last summer. He did fine, stood on my left flank when I'd cast for him and learned to pinch the line to the rod and strip line from there......................and no trouble reeling in two little trout..................

says the guy runnin off to Mexico

Forgot to say the little brown was released "to go back with his mommy and daddy"

Beautiful day in the St. John's area, decided a day out with my son was in order. Through him the flyrod and a couple snacks in the truck and headed for a little sure shot spot that I know. Heres a few pics of the rest of the day. Hard to cast with a 9' 6 wt when your only 2'-6" Fish on First trout I know you don't hang trout, but I figured it would do less damage than a excited two year old...............look at that face

Grew up in rural Newfoundland.......................tough to fine mickey Dees..................had to useCod liver

reminds me of gull kites

A man was on the water for his weekly fishing trip. He began his day with an 8 pound mud trout on the first cast and a 7 pounder on the second. On the third cast he had just caught his first ever rainbow over 11 pounds when his cell phone rang. It was a doctor notifying him that his wife had just been in a terrible accident and was in critical condition and in the ICU. The man told the doctor to inform his wife where he was and that he'd be there as soon as possible. As he hung up he realized he was leaving what was shaping up to be his best day ever on the water. He decided to get in a couple of more casts before heading to the hospital. He ended up fishing the rest of the morning, finishing his trip with a stringer like he'd never seen, with 3 rainbow trout over 10 pounds. He was jubilant.... Then he remembered his wife. Feeling guilty he dashed to the hospital. He saw the doctor in the corridor and asked about his wife's condition. The doctor glared at him and shouted, 'You went ahead and finished your fishing trip didn't you! I hope you're proud of yourself! While you were out for the past four hours enjoying yourself on the pond your wife has been languishing in the ICU! It's just as well you went ahead and finished because it will be more than likely the last fishing trip you ever take!' 'For the rest of her life she will require 'round the clock care. And you'll be her care giver forever!' The man was feeling so guilty he broke down and sobbed. The doctor then chuckled and said, 'I'm just f**kin' with ya. She's dead. What'd you catch?'

any kind of hair spun......................the only thing worst that spinning is trimming, worst than that .......................cleaning up the magnetised hair.

no thanks........................I'll take a 8" brookie with solitude

how do someone of 21 years of age become a leafs fan.........................F&%k at 31 and 9 years removed I can't come up with an excuse.

Katy Mills??????????? My wife reported me missing (will called all the hang outs) while I spent the whole day in there.........once upon a time

Nice to see the green showin thru. After a nice Feb, with the snow takin' a cuttin'....................We're paying for it in March

Just renovted a 100 plus year old house...........not me just my money........i learned new math (and a few new curse word from the handy man)when putting up crown moulding and oher trim that 39 + 42 degrees equal 90.................. so much for doing all the cutting in one room.

That said I would love to be able to do it..........................

This spey lingo is way too confusing, way to many options in lines. Watched Rio's modern spey video the other day with Simon G, While I enjoyed the parts with him. These West coast guys with their snap t or z with a half perry poke on river right with down stream wind standing on one leg while scratching there arse was a bit confusing to a single handed who fishes the other side of the river when the wind is blowing the wrong way.
