A 5 weight will get you through the day. When I feel I need to more finesse. I will lengthen my leader. I usually fish a 14 or 15 foot leader and may extend it to 20 for low flows or if I’m above the...

It will improve with both a rising and falling flow. When the flow changes it causes bugs to be displaced and thus will cause a flurry in feeding.

As soon as I get through Christmas I'm going to start on quill Gordon's. Wets and drys. Then to the smaller blue quills.

I may do that. Thanks for the advice. I'm taking a steelhead trip in April and hope the rod will be a good backup while there. Maybe my six weight will be more like a 7 weight when all is said and...

Thanks pal.

I have a 10 foot 6 weight orvis silver label that is now a 9'9" orvis silver label. This is the third time I have broken it and I'm just not going to send it in again. Can someone tell me what size I...

Sometimes the difference is using a different color of bead. I do really good with black, gold and copper but lately silver has been turning fish.

I was at Smokemont a couple weeks ago and ran to Cherokee to have breakfast one morning. My wife wanted to do some shopping. So I ran into a fly shop and started a conversation with a guy working...

Hate to see that. Little striper become big striper. Thanks for the input.
Lynn

Was wondering how far up do the stripers travel up stream. I fished Miller's Monday and saw a couple filleted out at the boat ramp. I know someone could have boated down then came back up but figured...

LRO has cutters for the stealth in three different sizes I think. Beats cutting them by hand and keeping up with the templates. Call them I bet they can set you right up.

I'm like Gary and carry both but I seem to use split shot with an unweighted egg more often.

The campground was very crowded as you can imagine for the holiday. I wanted to explore the creeks more but due to water levels and inner tube hatches that was out of the question. I'll be going back...

Well I just got back from FCF and the fishing in the lake was pretty good. All the streams were running very low so I left them alone. Not much surface wise but a sparsely tied puglesi did the trick...

I'm heading over to the campground in Fall Creek Falls SP. I'll for sure fish the lake but was wondering about the creeks in the area. Has anyone bothered with those? Was just wondering what to...

No question. You set it free. It hurts but the hero would have to wait.
Lynn

Sounds like you had a good time and a steady day. The river has been fishing well. Sulphur hatch should be just around the corner.

I used to date a red head and her hair looked alot like your sixth man fly. I bet your fly doesn't smell like a bottle of Rave hairspray though.
Nice looking tie as always my friend. Smallies will...

Very good article. Nice read

Maybe check the marinaPort St. Joe

Find some grass in four to six feet of water and you'll be in business in the bay. FC shrimp, Copperheads and crease flies are my go to flies. 12 to 20lb tippet fished on my six weight is all I use....

I fished the Clinch a week ago Tuesday and the water temps were 65 at Millers. I know we're talking the Holsten. So take it for what it's worth. Although the cooler temps and rain in recent days...

If your around John I need some advise about the Hunters Island area. My friends and I are coming over in mid January. Any help on flies and what to expect.
Thanks, Lynn

I fish classic dries all the time. I have found them to work great. I do tie them sparse. On most I'll tie a very narrow body with only three turns of hackle. Now these won't work as well in the...

I understand completely. Thanks for posting. He is a very talented tyer. No reason to burn any bridges my friend. This message will self destruct in 5 seconds. Lol. Thanks again.
