mmmmmm pipe dope..... i hate home depot as well. Would rather go to Revy. I agree with the pipe dope or get some liquid thread sealer. We use that at work and it's the bomb. mmmm pipe dope

ouch....

welcome to the board Bluecharm. I can't give you any advise on the elbow due to not having ever fished it, though i'm sure there are tons of guys on here that have.

nice pics Weedy. makes sence when you look at it like that.

I'm guessing.....................bigger than the fish SJW catch's

That's what i was going to say Hawg.....Man up and go wet wading. I like to go comando in my waders during the winter. It's the only way to fly.

thats awsome.......

thanks Greg. i had my rod right over my head as i recall trying to keep him up. He was just stoped dead in the middle of the river by a real fast seam and i couldn't move him at all, then pop....out it came.

I'm useing 3x and the tippet din't breay. I still had all my gear on. I actually checked after to see if the hook bent because of how far back towards me the line shot. Thats wy i thought i may have just pulled it right out myself. I will try the side to side thing as well. I allways thought you should keep the rod high. I remember Toolman saying once that he would climb the bank to fight a big fish. Ah well. live and learn i guess. I do land the big ones but that was the first time i have had my line rocket back towards me so fast that it made me duck.

just a quick question. When i lost that big fish yesterday in the middle of the river i had my rod real high and i had alot of pressure on the line. Drag was not real tight but he was really pulling. When he came off the line snapped back from the middle all the way to the shore. Did i have to much pressure on it? I was trying to keep him out of the fast run in the middle of the river. Did i just pull the hook out myself by appling that much pressure or should you just let him run into the fast *hit. Wondering what the pros thought.

Rick did you see that on the back fof the business card there is another code for discount next time?

Rick, when i ordered mine the discount code was in there automaticly,where it said to enter it, so you might have gotten it. Ed

thats awsome Taco

ha ha..ya flyies. ED TIPE GOODER THERN BEEFOUR

Got my flyies in the mail today. Took 3 days...they look great. The clousers look awsome as well as the PMD. I heard these guys are on this forum so i just wanted to say thanks and i will definately be ordering some more. I would recomend these flies to all. Fast service,great price, and nice looking flies. I'll let you all know how they fish soon. Thanks again Ed

hey thanks alot, that was a good read and now i know. One more question though. what is jacking?

I'm kind of new to this and this might be a dumb question but i have no idea what diploids and triploids are. Whats the diff in these two. Are they different kinds or is it different years of groth maybe. I'm trying to learn

Cute kid Birchy...obviosly looks nothing like the old man...

Thanks Rick.....i they are as good as that guy says i might get a pair. Weird sizes though L,LXL,XL is the way the sizes go but the LXL is not on thier size chart.

can you buy those snobee's here? Prices are all in pounds. 129 for the pair i was looking at. Not sure what that is in dollars.

I agree with you both Don and MTB about some of your points. I have taken an old girlfriends son out to a spot that i new you could allways catch a whitie because he had never caught a fish b-4. I guess i meant that i think most of the fly people on here are not going out to target the whities, especially the newer guys. I am NOT for killing them or any other fish in our streams and lakes. As i stated b-4 a white fish is certainly better than no fish and i guess if someone wanted to take me to a place where we could be into 100 whities on the fly in a day i'd be all over that. Ed
