  1. As if there wasn't enough to hate... Sheffield, Giambi, Rivera, Jeter, etc... My worst nightmares have come true... Why do they need A-Rod? Simple, because they can...

     

    As a diehard Red Sox fan, this pains me greatly, but it will be sweeter than anything when the Yanks go down hard in the playoffs to my bean town boys...

     

    Food for thought:

     

    The Yankees luxury tax, is high enough to be the 13th highest payroll in the league. mmmmmmmm, baseball....


  2. Hey guys, I'm looking at a little trip to hit the Yough and Casselman rivers after the stocking on Feb 2nd. Does anyone have some suggestions for early season flies?

     

    I mostly have egg patterns and a couple buggers in my box. I wanted to tie up some new junk for the trip. I suppose since they're fresh out da hatchery, it won't matter much.

     

    Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated!

     

    Thanks

  3. Yeah, as far as I know it doesn't matter, the dumbbell, should roll the lure to the right position. Just remember to tie it "upsidedown" so to speak. Make sure the dark part is on part of the hook with the gap.

     

    I've only used them twice and caught a few white bass on the first trip and a 7 1/4 steelie on the second trip. They're a good time. I plan on abusing the smallies and whipers on them this summer!


  4. I don't watch much besides the NFL and NHL, but here goes:

     

    Around the Horn (Only show I watch EVERY day)

    Pardon the Interruption

    Trading Space... mmmm Paige....

    Sports Center

    Mail Call (Ermy kills me!)

     

    I did dig Band Of Brothers when that was on.


  5. Well, I know he only started this post for one reason and I guess I'll humor him... J. Johnson is responsible for my habit. I bought a fly rod almost 3 years ago and used it about twice. I had no confidence in it and would have rather ran a soft plastic in a river or spinners in a stream.

     

    I hooked up with Kevin through another sight and we started fishing together here and there, exchanging a few spots and he eventually turned me on to fly fishing. I just started tying a little and a the trip to Erie was my first time on the fly for Steelies. So needless to say. I'm hooked

  7. Y'know what Redneck. Enjoy what you have going on now. "Real life" doesn't get any easier. You're forced to deal with people like that every day, most likely it's a boss of some sort or capacity.

     

    So enjoy your youth while you can! Don't let people like that get to you and your life will be much easier and stress free. Remember only you can truly control your future.

     

    ...and I'll get down off my soap box now and day dream about Steelies again...

  8. Yeah, I heard you were all heading up, I'll be up there with J. Johnson on Friday and Saturday. I'll show you guys around Crooked, it's my new "home creek" if you will. Loaded with fish and not a lot of traffic. Not sure how it'll be this weekend though. Should have been a fresh run with all the snow run off they've had.

     

    I'm sure Kev and I will do a little recon on Friday evening when we get there, just to take a peak and see what's around.

  9. Wow, steeldrifter, I completely read that wrong!! I do most of my STEELIE fishing in Erie around Crooked and Raccoon creeks. I like to stay away from the crowds.

     

    I also spend a lot of time chucking spoons in the lake at the mouth of Godfrey run. I have a good time in the creek, but the lake is where I love to fish, when they hit those spoons, they have a running start and they're not happy at all!

     

    I plan on lake fishing next year with some streamers and such. I watched a guy doing it last year and he was K-I-L-L-I-N-G them!

    Nurture this one along fellas he is a newbie.  Instill in to him that there is more to fly fishing than a Clouser Minnows.

    He is a good guy and an ok fisherman, just a little school bus slow.

    Welcome Chris !

    Speaking of little, Kev, when we get to Erie and stop at the BAC, if you want something on a higher shelf, I'll be more than happy to get it for you.

     

     

    ...and uh, Clousers are all I know how to tie...

    Always welcome another real man who chases the bronzeback with the long rod, welcome aboard and hope you come around often

    Ahh, yes, Mr. Bronzeback. I honed my river skills on these babies! I love 'em. Although Hybrids and Steelies are gaining ground quick!

     

    I've only gone after them once or twice with flies and haven't faired real well, but give me some Super Fluke Jrs, and I'll rustle you up some bass!

  12. Hey guys, I'm new to the board and to fly fishing in general. I've caught some smallies and trout on the long rod, but I'm just now getting into tying my own flies. I recoginze some of you from the Fish USA boards and I'm ready to get started on the vice. Well, somewhat...
