Hi. I'm looking for some advice on sink tip fly lines - Primary use is chasing smallmouth bass and sometimes trout. I currently use the Rio Smallmouth line (floating) and the Airflo Streamer Max Long. Some of the waterways I fish aren't super wide and I'm wondering if a different sink tip line...

I had this posted before as a complete setup but have sold the reel individually. So now rod without reel. Sage Bass II Smallmouth Rod in case with original owners name and number sharpied on the outside (I believe I am the second owner). Zipper of case and inside sleeves are in perfect...

Thinning the herd, selling this excellent shape GLoomis 8/9 weight rod. It is awesome with the new heavy 8weight lines like RIO Outbound short, Quickshooter, and RIO Grand all in 8weight. It has a moderate fast action with a strong butt but soft tip for relaxed casting (GL3 material is really...

I'm looking for a used streamer line for my 7 weight to toss streamers to smallmouth bass. New ones go for over $80, and I just don't want to invest that much in something I'll use once or twice a year. It'll go on a 10' Winston Ibis. Thanks.

Sunday I got out to what has become one of my favorite creeks here in NC. I haven't seen many, but this one is one of those places you like to keep to yourself. It used to be used as a local WW kayak stream, but loss of access effectively put the stop on that. There is only one cabin that I have...

Went on a family camping trip to Lake Billy Chinook (central Oregon) last weekend. I was shore bound and mostly trying to keep up with my two kids, but I did target smallmouth a few times in both the Deschutes and Crooked River arms. I never got anything of size (most 9-11") but fish were...

Next weekend, I have a hall pass to head east. Would you target small mouth or hit some regular locations in the basin for trout? I am really looking forward to the targeting smallies, but this year the water has seemed to warm up late. Patience grasshopper!! My original plan was to head to...

Recently did a trip with a friend to an area I have been looking on google earth at over the last year. Unfortunately, the fishing was tough and our confidence dwindled as the day went on. Luckily, my friend who had never fished for bass locked in on a little nerf ball. He was impressed at...

I love smallies, and fish most of the places where's they're found in any numbers in CA. I would like to try water where there are more of them, and larger. I've caught two around 5 lbs, but that's not common here. I've seen some promo on huge smallies in Ontario, don't know anything about it...

A buddy of mine is doing research on fall chinook in the Snake River basin. During the out migration, they estimate that the predation on smolts is in the neighborhood of 10,000 smolts per mile due to smallmouth bass. And that's just in the free flowing section above Asotin. And then they...

Well, I haven't been on WFF for a while. I've been everywhere from Bend, OR, to Chico, CA, and I'm moving back to Ashland next week. I hooked a ton of gorgeous trout over the summer. I'm going to start posting more as well. Find me on Instagram @t_flyfisher.or Tight Lines

So one of my co-workers is into bass tournaments. Every other weekend he's hauling his bass boat off to one somewhere. There's one coming up on the Willamette River for smallmouth bass with the limitation of top water only lures. Normally he doesn't flyfish in bass tournaments due to the...

So I have been perfectly content lately fishing my local warm water streams for sunfish and LMB with the occasional trip to the mountains for wild trout (no stockers for me please, I have standards). However yesterday it was too hot in the piedmont for being human and too hot for trout in any...

Never having caught a smallmouth bass, and dealing with bladder cancer, I figured it was time to check that off my lifelist. I found a what turned out to be a very nice quaint B&B in historic downtown Harper's Ferry. It also happened that the B&B owner also owns the local fly shop, and has a...

Last Friday Chad Lewis was in town and we took a few hours to float the lower Yakima looking for smallies. As we were getting ready to put in a drift boat arrived to take out. It was a guide boat from Reds, or at least I assume it was, since it was the guy who does all their fishing video...
