fly fishing

Hi, I am new to freshwater fishing and especially new to fly fishing, and I am planning a two day trip to the town of Stehekin in mid-April. I plan to fish the Stehekin river and its tributaries by myself (without guides). However, I am really confused regarding the regulations on that river...

What a fun little rod!!! Only selling to replace funds from buying the 000wt in this same rod. Casts dries like a dream. Can rig small dry / dropper setups or light nymphs. Small fish feel huge and I’ve landed 18”-20” fish on it. Used but as new with no marks anywhere. $525 shipped / insured...

Super compact machined aluminum reel. Diameter about the size of a tippet spool (2.5”). Sealed disc drag. Perfect for ESN or lightweight rods (this was used on a 000wt). Will come with backing and case but no line. Only slight mark on reel foot - otherwise like new! Asking $175 ($200 MSRP)...

Greetings- I’m an experienced river and stream flyfisherman with very few hours logged on the salt. I’m a catch and release guy unless I pull out a farm steelhead.

I have recently move to Washington (Bremerton area) from Montana. I love earning my fish rather than drive, park, fly fish, repeat. I am looking for a trail or area that I would be able to hike a couple of miles and fly fish that is away from the road and away from people. I do not have a boat...

Hello, I am new to fly fishing and am looking for good lakes and rivers in the Grays Harbor County area. Klone Lakes caught my attention due to its more exclusive and private landscape that comes with it, however, I am curious about the amount of trout in the lakes. From what I found, it was...

I just recently moved back to Wenatchee after a decade and a half away. Though I didn’t really get into fishing until I first picked up a fly rod 4 years ago, I do know several local hotspots for the various salmon runs. Trouble is, most all my fishing experience has been trout and bass (though...

I am considering adding to my fleet for still water fishing and want a vessel that can handle 3-4 people. It will mostly be 2 people, but I may take my son and grandson. It needs to be a stable craft as kids don't seem to stay seated as instructed. Also it has to not be too heavy and easy to...

What are everyone's thoughts on the best small boat for fly fishing up here in the PNW? Ideally, something that could cover lakes, the Puget Sound, and maybe some rivers? I'm considering all options at this point, but I'm leaning towards a 16'-18' Bay boat center console style vessel. I'd...
