vest or chest pack

One drawback to a waist or fanny pack is that it limits the depth of water in which you can wade, unless you've got one of the Simms packs that is waterproof. With my chest pack I can wade at least...

vest or chest pack

I wore vests for many years, then got tired of the weight and the warmth. Switched to a FlyteDeck, which is based on an Okuma aluminum fly box, and a fishing shirt with two more Okumas in the...

I read with interest Glen Casada's article about Smokies Flyfishing Myths in the last issue of the Little River Journal. One of the points he made was that 9 or even 10-foot rods should be used. I...

I'm looking for a JW Outfitters Turtleback. It's a small backpack that matches up with some of the JWO chestpacks. I prefer green, but at this point I will consider any color. Please contact me at...

The suspenders go over your shoulders just as regular suspenders, and the straps on the hip waders which usually attach to your belt attach to the suspenders instead.

suspenders for hip waders

Several years ago I saw suspenders for hip waders in a flyfishing catalog. That store no longer carries them. Does anyone know where I can find some? Byron?

Re: Slick Rock Creek

I just returned from a 2-night stay in the Slickrock Creek Wilderness Area. We went in on the Slickrock Creek Trail, which begins at the parking area below Cheoah Dam. When we used the trail in the...

Re: Clinch Access

Well, Running Wolf, actually I am. I've lived in either the Tri-Cities or Knoxville areas all of my life, and I've been flyfishing for about 27 years now.

I know that obtaining access easements...

Re: Clinch Access

We'll never know unless we try. We might not get every landowner to sell an easement, but even one or two more access points would be welcome, don't you think?

Some of the problems you mentioned...

Re: Clinch Access

I did a bit of legal research yesterday. *Tennessee has a statute called the "Conservation Easement Act of 1981." *If you want to read it, it's Tenn. Code Ann. 66-9-301 - 309. *I'll call it "the Act"...

Re: Clinch Access

It might not be as expensive as one might think. We are talking about just a few rivers, and they don't contain trout for their entire length. The ones of which I am aware are:

Re: Clinch Access

In the early 1990's I fished in Wisconsin. *Wisconsin owns easements for fishing access along the banks of the spring creeks in the Dodgeville area. *It would take a major legislative effort to do...

Re: WISCONSIN

I fished in the Dodgeville area in the early 1990's. There are a lot of spring creeks there. The great thing is that there is public access along the banks! The state owns easements along the...

Re: Chestpacks

I have attempted to downsize in the last couple of years. My current setup is a FlyteDeck chest pack (www.flytedeck.com), which is built around a 16-compartment Okuma flybox, and a fishing shirt in...

Re: Slickrock Creek

It has been 'way too long since I last fished Slickrock Creek, but I like it a lot. The fish are wild, and very spooky. Part of the trail follows an old logging railroad roadbed, which at times is...

You run a great flyshop. I always enjoy stopping by when I'm in Townsend, which will be soon, I hope. Money just seems to fly out of my wallet when I'm there, though....
