great topic...and lots of great stories..i love that we all fish for different reasons and its different those reasons that brought us to flyfishing.......caught my first back in 89 bait fishin.....bait n raps got boring quick n started flyfishin in late elementary school........was frustrating as hell..but it was the next step for me and started too really pick it up in my teens... made my dad scratch his head and look at me funny tho

its worth it dude..book your seat!

happy b-day dude!

u beat me too it!!! damn you !!!

lmao dont hate? dont hate wut..gillin fish, draggin em up on teh ice, icefishin...

happy b-day dude! hope your out there

sick fish dude!

lmao classic dude

nope no boat buying for me thisyear...bowcrow adventures still has float trips offered on teh site...

thats a sick little kit dude!

great bunch of responces!...a few points brought up i wanted too mention were..line on the water..the more line on the water the more resistance you get when striking..so the farther the fly is away frmo you the harder you should be striking...if there is slack in the line the "strip-set" like mentioned above helps.......for rod stiffness i find faster rods tend too pick up more line with less effort . you dont halfto lift the rod higher or farther back too strike compared too a slower rod...as for rod length i find the longer the rod the easier it is to get good leverage and speed when picking up line and striking..even going from a 9' too a 9'6" makes a huge difference in ease of mending and hooksetting past 20-30 feet.....

thanks for the info..will check out them patterns you listed brett..thanks!

sick stick dude..im lovin my TX2....cant waite too check out the waders...

thanks for teh additional info brett..i remeber as a kid having too abid by them freakin rules..thank god for sinktips tho.....were heading out mid march.....

FTT is fly tye tuesday........... good idea rock...this a one night only thing or u going to host a few different sessions?

great job dude....u need too fish it i suppose too figure out if u want teh body fatter of thinner..check the profile by getting it wet in a cup of water.......the tail need too be a little longer like LK mentioned...good work tho dude!

hey dude check out teh special events..there was a bowriver cleanup lastyear...i believe wongrs of pacres did a little wright up on it..im sure there will be another this eyar...i smoek and at tiems pack out my butts and otehr times i dotn...cant really tell ya why..when im fishing the smaller creeks and streams i pack everything out......you could try tlaking too people and whatnot on teh river..theres others out there that do too...just remebr you will get lots of positive feedback from most....but dotn let teh negative ones put ya down too much

shes got lotsa snow and rain i here n there already starting dude, we got a few rivers we wish too check out...STOKED...lookin good lk...im already done my tying..will lend u my box when i pick ya up for some bow slayin tommorow.......... thanks for all the info dudes!

sick fish dude! uve bin puttin in teh time and shes paying off!!!!!!!!!

what brent said...your hands are suppose too be on your cork...applying pressure (holding teh blank) stresses the blank in a funny spot when your hand is up above the cork...ive seen a few rods break and saw alot of video and heard of more than a few stories about the same thing.......try choaking up on the cork and burry teh but in your forarm...fighting buts are key for a little extra leverage.......

good info there dude...thanks!
