just about every river, you can targer redhorse in rivers as well, like carp, they wont move more then 4 inches for a fly, so... and old on, I have heard of 40+ min fights

for fresh fish and fall steelhead, I use streamers, technique. cast, strip strip strip strip, take a step, cast, strpi strip strip, strip, cast strip wiggle strip wiggle strip wiggle strip, cast strip strip strip strip, cast strip wiggle strip willgge strip wiggel, strip, take a step , cast, ........ and it works... if the fish is there and you piss it off it will hit the fly like BAM, that what streamers are used for, finding Keen fish...

that poor poor pond see so much tangled line, birds eating corn and bread baited hooks discarted on its banks.. people keeping a plastic bag full of 5 10 20 bass and or catfish, no big fish .. close it to fishing please close it...

I like FireLine, I use it in certain conditions fly fishing but always attach a leader to it for stealth. think about bite dection, and no stretch lines, i.e. braid. just attach a lead to er and let em bite!

Hey there, Look into some Tippet Rings, if you can find them in Canada.. their a tiny tiny ring to tie to your mainline, then your tip. It saves the gruff of tying blood knots/surgeons knots etc. and eliminates the big ole barrel swivel. I use them mostly on my fly rods and they sure can hold a bruit carp off the bottom. I feel they will be just fine on conventional gear.. mind you, I always use straight leaders in the 4-8lb 8-20ft range, unless I'm nymphing, then I use tippet and always a Tippet Ring

riverbum.com wont load?? is it down? Iv never been there...

great pictures! welcome abord

Im getting into spey fishing, I may have a few questions about it if you care to share some knowledge!

rio steelhead/salmon fly line for all my steelhead salmon pike and bass fishing.. its wf, with a bullet style taper, witch meand it turns over big air resistant flies. and a long head for easy mending..

Is it really worth the risk? just play safe, wear a vest and have some spikes with ya...all the best

those look really nice! good job!

I suggest you tie on a stinger hook!

I've lost some takes and visually watched a pike grab my streamer by the tail turn and never hook up. so I tie 20lb wire and have the hook point just shy of the end of the fly. it helps a lot, use a heavy guage hook, I forget what mine are but their a number 6 salt water type hook, I think.

I love the last two pics.

Loomis and tools. But their not around currys. Goto a craft art store. Same deer rabbit pheasant polar bear fox tail etc. for less money then the tackle shop

and I actually started centerpinning years before I ever flyfished, so I usually fish weekdays, and if i am swinging flies I can and dont mind fishing alone with no one in the run/poos, and the great thing about skagit style spey fishing is.. i can use my sink tips or sone shot, and dead dripe or fish behind a rock without bugging the others,,its not always about the 'swing' but thanks

Buy yourself a float rod and reel instead, and spend time catching fish instead of worrying if the other anglers will rotate the pool with you..... They won't!

Iv got a kingpin and a raven thanks with the 14 footers to match thanks

Thanks for the info everyone! I like the Allen and the Ion now.. just gotta flip a quarter

I just got a 2012 wrangler unlimited sport . awesome

Port Left same amount of letters... starboard right.. my right finger points to the star...

Afew years ago I bought the sport tag and card.. had the print off for about 9 months, I still didnt recieve my card.. hours of phone calls and bickering later, I was told they had zero record of my name buying an outdoors card and tag. so I had to spent the money and get a conservation tag and card all over again, this time I got it in about 6 weeks. stupid MNR next year Ill have to renew my card I hope I wont have to do that song and dance again..

Hello and good morning all you OFNers! I hope everyone is doing well this winter.

Well Im starting this topic because I think I need a little advice on buying a spey reel, Ive decided to jump rite into spey fishing and skip that switch rod thingie..So, in about a weeks time I'll have a grey's G series spey rod, and Im only getting it because of the price, its cheap! I'll be getting it in 13' #8 and havent the slightest clue as to what reel would match that with out spending much more then $150. is that possible? I like the greys gx500 but is that a single hand only reel? Im so lost and advice as to witch reel I should be looking into would rock! or, if any of you know someone selling a used one... please help me! Im just starting out spey fishing Iv been fly fishing for years so I have that down... and I am on a budget.. like a college budget without a student loan in the bank..

thanks in advance! you all are awesome!
