+1

Thats really awesome!!

Im a self taught hack and IMO, nymph fishing is by far the most PRODUCTIVE. May not be the most satisfying. That said, at the end of your drift when your line tightens up downstream and your flies slowly rise because of line tension and water movement, which is what they do while hatching. Lots of hits at the end of the drift or while picking your line out of the water to cast again. Check out "Liesenrings Lift" (see spelling) it works!!!!!! Stripping a Bugger sounds like a good plan to me, just saying IMO nothing better than a fishing slamming a streamer other than watching one take a dry off the surface or watching and feeling that strike indy go down because you have the perfect drift happening. lets just face it, fly fishing rules!!!! it just does 7 sounds like a pretty good day. if i where you I would keep doing everything "NOT correct" lol!!!! Feel and everything just comes with time on the water man. Keep at it, its love. Thats why we do it thats why i do it

football!!

I saw much bigger ones than this in there. That said theres big burbs and huge carp in there as well.

excellentness!!!

I wouldn't call them in of they are friends. Tell them whats up and if they willingly do it again, callem in. Tough spot. Ive been there with my best friends, sisters, boyfriend lol!! They dont talk to me about fishing and or show me their pics anymore.

Definitely dont over water. The roots will stay shallow if its always wet. You want the plant to go down to find water, strengthens your lawn and will aid in it thickening as well. Your lawn is new, you want good strong root development.

Your comments are for the pesticides and herbicides debate thread, there isn't one, why dont you start it up and see what happens. Just saying. W'ere just looking after our yards in this thread. Its not an ugly topic, for the most part peoples yards bring them joy and happiness. Whatever you do in your yard is fine, it certainly isn't my business. I understand your comments. I will assume most adults know about herbicides and pesticides. I just dont think every thread on this site needs to end up in a pissing match. Peace

I spray quack grass with round up because it kills/slows it down and if its just small patches your lawn will fill in around the dead spot I spray it to keep it from getting in my yard from my neighbours yard. Back yards got a bit, thats why I clean my mower before mowing the front. Its just a step to keep it from spreading.

I have to. The quack grass in my backyard is rampant. I dont want it in my front yard, so I try hard. Re sodding doesnt get rid of quack grass unless you go down and strip like 4' of top soil just to get it all out. As previously stated, its a battle you wont win. Round Up everything, wait for it to die, strip it and come in with fresh sod this fall or next spring. That would be ideal but, within a few months you'll start to see the quack grass again. you just can't stop it. Its like Poa Annua on a golf course, you just cannot stop it. Try your hardest just to keep it out. If i could start my from scratch again I would. Theres no money left, thats a problem. My neighbours dont love their yards so my yards suffers for it. 2-4-d doesnt kill quack grass. its the same ingredient thats in Killex. Round Up kills quack grass but also everything else it touches. Round up is my favourite because there is no question, it kills everything

****ing pathetic.

@ BigFry. Please just ignore him. Your grass is not his problem or issue. The fact that it bothers him so much is pathetic. You can tell by his posts that its like fighting with your wife. Non winnable, dude does this for fun. Dont feed it. Check his last post out. Its actually your clover that has his vag all sandy lol!!! your just growing grass, he's the one taking offence to it. 99% of all people use fert and pesticides and in this thread he's basically called anyone who uses it an idiot! Thats a lot of people he's talking to. Just grow your grass and ignore this idiot. He's talking to himself and i'll bet he's pretty impressed lol!!!

OMG, my neighbour used to look after his yard and then one year decided to quite. All he does is mows so he's a giant weed spreader, its awful, yards are attached. I swear he does it out of spite. Theres a spot down by the road that I literally hit with round up once a month just to keep his quack grass from coming into my yard. Its even worse than clover, you can't get rid of quack grass. THATS WHY YOU DONT USE THOSE GUYS THAT GO DOOR TO DOOR WITH THE AERATORS!!!!! You can get weeds under control but, quack/crab grass is the WORST!!!! My back yard is a lost cause, I dont even try anymore. It sucks because of my neighbours, both sides. They're way to busy washing their hummers and benz's grime and chemical filth into the river while complaining about people that spray weeds lol. Its like people that drink alcohol but, dont do drugs lolololololololololol. %$#@ I can feel the rage, anyways… I mow my front and backyard on different days and wash my mower severely before I do the front.

let it happen and ignore bron. he prolly dont even have a yard lol. or maybe he's my neighbour, the clover farmer lol!!!

Cool buddy!!! Im going to spray and fertilize right f'ing now!!

100 of fish dying off in K lake front page this AM. Think pits due to the rapid rise in water temp!!

Wait until you see plants starting to grow out. dandies should be already, they go quick. Clovers a bitch! I wouldn't start spot spraying until you see death and are convinced you missed some stuff, it happens and a lot of weeds come up after you spray. Its really a battle we can't win If you cans see that you're clover is nice and green and thriving, hit it with a shot. With such a new lawn, your going to have weeds. eventually your grass should choke some out and with mowing and maintenance your lawn will be great. I dont think it needs to worry about being neglected lol. If you want to see a huge improvement, dont mow it for 5 days. You've been on it now just let it grow a bit. Its hard, I know but, plants need time to grow

Easy man, 2-4-d is a plant steroid. the plants need time to out grow themselves. It will happen man, dont sweat it. Mow every 3 days and dont over water!!!! Give it a couple of weeks. You'll be amazed!! TP is good stuff man, thats why you can't go to the store and buy it! It'll work providing you mix it correctly. Clovers a nasty little sucker. You will never kill all of your weeds off, its a constant battle. Clovers a bitch!!! I can't stop it because my neighbour is one of those "natural" guys and his lawn is basically all clover and 100 other kinds of weeds, they just dont care what there yard looks like and it makes my yard look worse, its awful! IMO, if your yard is connected to someone else's yard, you're obligated to maintain yours. My neighbour does not, he's such a dick to boot. He's one of those americans that literally looks down on candadians and has zero friends on the street. He hates me because i got his kid into fly fishing and he's always over here talking to me and getting flies!!! Take your kid fishing bro!!! and mow your weeds while your at it!!!

Last time I was there, the garbage bin was over flowing with spent needles I've never seen anything like that before in my life Its makes me sad that this is just, kinda the way things are now. Be careful where you step down there Anyways, I took my garbage home with me that day and would be hard pressed to go back down there. Its dangerous and I wouldn't want to be labelled as a complainer... good grief

this pics are nothing compared to what I saw down there that day. actually was exactly like the pic just about 1000 more people and vehicles. brutal this is a boat launch, not a day use recreation area
