Coming down next weekend

feeds@yuku.com (Terry Beeson) — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 18:45:25 GMT

We're coming down to see the grandbaby next weekend and while down that way, I'll be in Mountain River Fly Shop on Saturday from 9 am until after lunch to sign copies of my book. Come on by and visit! If things go according to plan, I may just have to wet a line afterwards to relieve the writer's cramps... LOL

Hope to see you there!!!

Belize

feeds@yuku.com (MOtroutstalker) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 11:45:45 GMT

This may be a stretch but I thought I would try. I am heading to Belize this Christmas (Ambergris Caye) and I am looking for recommendations on guides. Has anyone been there?

Thanks Jimmy T

Hey Y'all,

Just wanted to give Jimmy a thank you here. Fished down to the Narrows this past Saturday, when I got down there Jimmy shouted over there was two on and it was coming in slowly. Saved my hind end and my two buddies from gettin stuck on the island or worse. Fishing streamers and exploring down to the first island and couldn't really notice a change in the water and my buds were busy catching at the island. Can't say if I would have noticed or not when I...

S.C. fishing

feeds@yuku.com (DT David) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:37:40 GMT

Anyone have recommendations for fly fishing in South Carolina? The company I work for is about to start construction on a facility near Chester, SC, about mid-way between Columbia and Charlotte, NC (approximately an hour either way). Over the next two years I could be spending time there setting up equipment and training personnel, and if possible I'll take advantage of the situation to try some new water. Nantahala National Forest and Great Smoky Mountains National Park are about...

6wt. Z-axis v. Sage 99

feeds@yuku.com (Melinark) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 10:13:43 GMT

I know there are several Sage rod users/vendors here. I'm looking for comparisons of, reviews of, and/or recommendations regarding the following rods for nymph fishing and large trout in the Missouri River tail waters in Montana. I'm particularly interested in ability to make long casts, control large fish (22" to 26"), and line control (eg., mending).

Sounds like I'll be spending the week of 11/9---11/13 at Copper John's. Curly and I will be fishing whatever is available at the moment. Want to try some big streamers at some point. Will undoubtedly fish the Norforl some and might get over to Spring River too. there will be cold beer at the Cabin if anybody wants to stop by for one. Just ask Ryan to point you tot he guys from Indiana. I'm sure JT will have some idea where to find us too.

What is with the icons?

Well I hope it's temporary. If not I'll be replacing those this evening.

AGFC's Norfork Decision

feeds@yuku.com (Scott Branyan) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:37:01 GMT

I talked with a good source from AGFC today. They said the commissioners are surprised no one has been raising any h--- over the decision to vote the alternate proposal for a shorter C&R area in over the trout biologist's recommendation. They suggested those of us who care about the issue might want to contact the commissioners and raise h--- with them directly. I suggest a letter to all and/or a call to as many commissioners as you are able to contact.

4 Days and 3 Friends on the White River (Photo Essay)

feeds@yuku.com (OzarkChronicles) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 11:58:56 GMT

Every year I make a fall trip to the White River with my two friends Craig Peterson and David Stinnett. Craig and I get to fish together fairly frequently, but this is only an annual trip for David as he has to travel north from Dallas to fish the White River. This trip isn't as much about the fishing as it is about hanging out with close friends. But the fishing is always good.

So i got a new camera / lens (Nikon D200 and Tokina 11-16) last week and had to try it out on my...

Reel Recovery Retreat 2009-Cedarwood Lodge-Flippin, AR

feeds@yuku.com (zhoyt) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:42:51 GMT

We had the Arkansas retreat this last weekend at the Cedarwood Lodge. I am taking some time to get my thoughts together and get the pictures uploaded, so I will make a more information post later. As for right now, I know for a fact it was a life changing weekend for both volunteers and participants. The time, effort, work, trouble, issues, etc with putting an event like this together do not even compare to the positive effects this had on all people involved. Many things along the way fell...

I came across this website the other day. It has some fascinating stories from a dark time in our countries history and what people would risk to go trout fishing.

Loop de loop

feeds@yuku.com (kylepyro) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 11:50:07 GMT

I was spooling up a Rio line I bought recently and found that it had a manufactured loop on both ends, not just the head where I'd expect to see one. I don't have a great deal of experience, but I can't think of why a line would be made this way. Is there a reason to make a line this way or is this some sort or manufacturing error.
