Best western river to freelance?
keep_lookingup replied to zOnk's topic in Fly Fishing Gear & Techniques
As DrVette said, the Arkansas. Full of browns and a manageable river. I don't float it because of all the public access. -
What music do you listen to while fishing?
keep_lookingup replied to Bubba_Da_Man's topic in Fly Fishing Gear & Techniques
I love listening to nature. It can't be beat and the sounds of nature is one of the reasons I enjoy fly fishing. -
I have used Rit dye for almost 30 years with great success. I have some deer hair I died brown with Rit that is 20 years old and the color is holding strong. Stored in a dark box, but it still ties well and catches fish.

I really admire your work. The cork matches the reel seat. Just awsome.

Great work for a first timer. Fish them, the real joy is catching your first fish on a fly you tied!!

Teimco and every once in a while a Mustad

I use mostly gray with the occasional orange when fishing the Gunnison.

Wow, just wow, wish I had the talent to do something like that.

Like everyone is saying, slowing the stoke down helps me even when fishing fast rods. I use the downstream loading of the rod 75% of the time

I will be trying this one out on the Gunnison in the next few weeks. It looks perfect for our picky trout. I am going to tie a few with a pearl bead and some more with a peacock bead.

Looking for a new vise, appreciate input!

I don't think you could go wrong with the Renzetti. I have been using mine for over 25 trouble free years. -
How to fight bigger fish?

I forgot, as other have said, you have got to let the fish have it's way, you can't beat a freight train!!!! -
How to fight bigger fish?

I fight 4 to 5 lb trout on a regular basis. A pleasure of living in Western Colorado. My best tactic it a side motion pull, and if he goes downstream on you, you have to run to catch up. Downstream is a goner unless you run to catch up.
