Yeah I have t.p in there too-- forgot that one. thanks for the whistle idea , yep that's going in there too now. You know what, a small camp stove and cooler so I can cook some eggs streamside while I am watching Jimmy Houston on the small flatscreen would be sweet. Oh yeah and the camera is in ther...

Yep , I plan on going up and trying one. Fly rods are like surf boards in that every body feels something a little different when they try one.

I have considered a sling pack for fishing the surf but have not pulled the trigger yet. While I admire the minimalists among you I just cannot bring myself to ply any of the East side streams that I fish with out the following essentials. 4 small flip page C&F boxes for my midges and a small bo...

Thanks Tim, considering that Juan is an Orvis endorsed guide his giving a slight edge to the Zenith say's something. But also like he say's we need to cast them ourselves and make our own decisions. I have always liked his site.

Has any one out there fished one of the Orvis H2s . If so what did you think of it ?

THAT is why I always carry a pistol with me when I fish ! Kevlar wading boots suggested.

It's kinda funny how we call plump, obese fish "amazing, awesome, and healthy", but plump,obese people are called less complementary names. That thing is a beast.

My good lady those other men are savages . Nothing wrong with a nice clean room a warm bed and a hot shower.

O.K.- so has any one out there fished one of these Hardy Zenith rods ? If so what weight and what did you think of it ?

NICE ! At least you didn't go down in a puff of wimpy smoke, like getting a new pair of scissors or a cap to keep your head warm. Nope, you went down in glorious flame's my man. Nice job.

Can any of us go a whole year with out getting anything new ?

What I need is to fish more. East side and off the beach. More trips to Crowley to midge in May , June and July . And more in Aug.and Sept. when the perch fry start doing that voo-doo they do. MORE FISH-I NEED MORE! But you know-- I could use another 6 wt. for throwing streamers. Yeah that's the tic...

Hi -my name is Mike and I am a chicken featheraholic.A while back I posted about a Whiting Silver grade Golden Badger saddle in a local fly shop.I wanted it BAAAAAD,but I fought it off. I have not been in that shop very much since then and when I have gone in I've stayed away from the area that my t...

Mark, that top photo has to be the single most disturbing photo that I have seen in a very long time. Haunting,really. I always figured she had a hairier back than me.

Last May my lovely wife got me an Orvis Hydros . It was an anniversary present. Beautiful reel, I used it on Crowley and Hot creek about a dozen times and it worked just fine. I had quit a few fish on Crowley go into the backing, no problem. Orvis has just run a sale on them so I got another one, ju...
