Welcome aboard Chris. What part of Taiwan are you in? Are you Taiwanese or an expat living in Taiwan? It's been a few years since I've been back but I promised myself the next time I return I would fly fish the mountain streams or try my luck at some of those tarpon in the rivers of Taipei. Look for...

Gabe has a cloven hoof? Uh oh. :D I think he is a ninja actually. http://www.ninjauniform.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/traditional-ninja-black-uniform1.jpg I haven't air traveled with gear in years. The last time I did was to Costa Rica and I kept my flies and gear in my luggage as suggested by t...

EFF that guy.

or for that matter, the tyers before delivering to the company. Because 8 year old slave labor kids don't care. They are only worried about making their quota so they get their daily helping of gruel and don't get beat up. Look at the price of those flies, pretty sure they aren't tied by local tier...

Fish it like a dry. The fly is supposed to partially sink at least the bottom portion. It floats upright not traditionally horizontal so only the hackle and deer hair should be dressed.

I'm posting this for my friend Scot. Lake Mission Viejo Fishing Dock Tuesday, September 23, 2014 5-7pm Come out and improve your casting game with instruction from Bob Marriott's Fly Fishing Store and all the latest and lightest rods from Sage. Also on hand are reels from Tibor and sun glasses from ...

I'd sure add an olive Woolly Bugger to the list, sizes #10 through #4. I've caught bass (largemouth and smallmouth, depending), trout, crappie and catfish on them Buena Vista Lakes, the upper (no catfish or bass there, but carp minnow) and lower (add carp minnows) Kern River, Isabella. Even picked ...

I have a pair of Leki trekking poles, wondering if they might work as a wadding staff?

I've use a walking staff as a wading staff. No problem. I rarely use it though but I rarely fish big enough water to warrant it.

Simms does indeed have a policy of first repair free, even if the problem is caused by yourself. And yes, the warranty is lifetime on defects, but does not cover usage problems (like you putting a hole in your waders!). Actually that's what they say but I wasn't charged for fixing this: http://1.bp...

I think I found the hen's mating pair:

Apparently quite the trophy.

Buddy of mine completed it. I need two more but they are all in NorCal and I haven't been able to get there as of yet. I hope to complete it soon but we'll see. I was shocked the certificate is actually done really nice and not some cheeseball cert that I was expecting.

That was an awesome video. Thanks for that Greg. Hopefully you can keep us up to date on what happens to him (or her).

I would have kept and mounted that one. Catch and release ethics be damned!

Thanks for the reminder Luc. I really wish CA would go to a 365 day license like other states like Utah. Considering we no longer need to visibly wear our licenses anymore and all licenses now are typed on the same paper every year I don't see why we go by the calendar day licensing system other tha...

Anyone know what nights the casting club has casting nights? Its been so long I have forgotten when they all meet and have informal competitions and such.
