I'm going to give beach fishing for sea runs a try for 1st time. I've read some different articles and parts of books... been to fly shops to buy flies and get advice. Not looking for secrets, just some basic rules or knowledge I should be aware of before setting out. Thanks in advance for any...

Hey all, Trying to do some lake tent camping the weekend of April 14th, but all our normal spots are still frozen or too much snow. Been trying to find a good low elevation lake with good camping and am striking out. Cranberry is an option, but the campsites aren't right on the water and...

Every year, My dad, Brother, and family friend all go fishing on the east side around the opener. We usually fish Lenice and/or Nunnally, making a weekend out of it. A fews back, we all got travel trailers - makes the stay a little more comfortable. We want to find a quality fly fishing lake...

I've been taking university/community groups to Missoula, MT 1-2 times a year since 2012. I love the location because there are several awesome rivers that our outfitter (Missourian Angler) can access. We stay in a downtown hotel and are walking distance to lots of great local restaurants. It's...

I've been tying for a year or so and I'm ready to upgrade from my $20 junk vise. I'm hoping a few of you more experienced tyers can help me understand the upside/downside of getting a Griffin Odyssey Spider Vise ($90) versus say, the Peak Rotary or Renzetti Traveler ($150ish). Obviously I'd like...

Hello, looks like I may be moving to Wenatchee within the next year. I am an avid saltwater fisher and have only fished freshwater a few times on lakes for large mouth. I got into fly fishing very recently and I am still learning. I am used to catching speckled trout and red drum from a kayak or...

I'll be shipping up to Boston next April for my sister's law school graduation and I'm hoping to do a little fishing while I'm there.

Hey all, I've got a business trip to PDX coming up in two weeks with a couple of days to fish prior (Nov 5 -6). I had originally thought about driving over to Maupin, but it seems like I can be at the southern end of the Puget Sound in similar time, and I'd really like to fish for SRC's. Any...

I'm flying up to Terrace at the end of the month for a week of fishing for steelhead. I've never packed for a fly fishing trip via airline. Any suggestions/tips that could make things easier? I plan on buying a travel tube for my spey rods and figured I'd take my reels in my carry on, but...

I'll be in the Kalispell area for a couple of days in late September. I'm looking for advice about what river I should consider for trout. I'm leaning towards the Middle Fork of the Flathead but I'm not sure how far upstream one needs to go to find good water for walking/wading (above Nyack...

So, my young employee is getting married this weekend and spending next week in paradise valley on the Yellowstone river for his honeymoon. He is lightly experienced in fly fishing and I got him a decent 6wt outfit from Cabelas, but want to send him with a box of bugs. Not sure how much fishing...

Curious about member experiences: right now 42nd St PHOTO is aggressively pushing ads to me (no doubt due to my browsing research and shopping) and their prices are marked down more than B&H or Adorama. Any reason to avoid 42nd St PHOTO? GetOlympus has markdowns on Olympus cameras. B&H and...
