I have some severe tennis elbow in my casting arm, but have recently learned that casting with my other arm is very doable!

Thanks BB, great intel!

Thanks BB! They sound great, especially in the "salt ponds" (land-locked lagoons) on St M that I'm told are loaded with "baby" tarpon. The ponds are pretty murky, so something splashy/noisy would probably be a good attractor. Would it stay on the surface with the Tarpon floating ...

Thanks John, I don't think I'm going to be able to get a hall pass to spend a day with a guide, or even a half-day, but I willl try contacting him, maybe he wouldn't mind just steering me in the right direction...

Thanks guys, very good suggestions by all so far! :-)

Hi all, My wife and I are headed to St Maartens at the end of April, and she is allowing me to bring one fly rod! :-) What I hope to do is find some easily accessible shore/bay areas that I can impromptu diy for Tarpon. That way I can sneak out for an hour or two and not be neglectful of my husbandy...

A 3wt I believe and as long as I can Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk You can build one for around $60 - $100. Also Cabelas has a very nice 3wt 10' nymph rod. And I think it's in 11' too, and also in 4wt. I have the 4wt 10' and it casts really well. That rod is around 200 I believe but is often o...

brianII, how do you put a video on this site so you watch it on this site?

When I added my video in my comment above, it takes you off the site to watch it.

I have never seen any one use a dehooking device whilst releasing a fish, and yet that is by far the best way to handle catch & release and I use one all the time. I'd much rather see a video promoting that rather than criticizing using a glove. :Pop: Well, here ya go! Click on this video: http...

The Owens Valley is a jewel, its native culture artifacts are fascinating. I love exploring that valley!

Andy

I'm glad you said that Bob, I ordered the big one yesterday with 2 extra spools. I'm going for yellowtail and my budget 8 wt reel with the limp drag was not going to get the job done!

Andy

Welcome aboard!

Congrats Maxine!!!
