  1. Welcome to the site.  You'll have to be more specific as to what waters you'll be fishing.  I know there are areas that only offer trout, some that have bass and panfish.  But use whatever you have.  If you don't catch anything, try something else.  I'm a firm believer that fish are, basically, dumb.  You throw a 5 inch Rapala to a fish that's never seen one, and you'll likely get a strike ... no matter what kind of fish it is.

    What you DO have to be careful of is, many of the clear water areas, if you see the fish, it sees you and it won't hit anything.  But good luck, and tell us (with pictures) how you do!


  2. While I am not into religions of any kind ... I do agree with those that recommend cutting off the hand(s) of thieves.  Along those line, this guy should've had his dominate arm amputated AND put in jail for as many years as he spent hunting illegally.

     


  3. It will happen.  Hopefully, when AI takes over, it will be less destructive than "The Matrix" or "Terminator" ... but probably not.  I think Asimov's "I Robot" was as good a prediction as ever.  Unfortunately, AI will take over before we have self aware super-capable robots to help us.  We're likely doomed.


  4. Not a trout guy or a salmon guy.  Not a salt water guy, either.

    Quite happy fishing my local ponds, rivers and lakes.  It's just fishing for me.  A hobby like many other hobbies I have.  I wouldn't travel across the country to find wood working shops.  Won't travel just for fishing spots.

    That said, work and military have taken me to all 50 United States and 18 different countries ... so my "need to travel" days are behind me.


  5. Sooooooo ... refilling this thing would be <somehow> easier than refilling a fly box?  What, the fly WANTS to be in the spinner so badly it jumps right off the vise into it?

    The guy in the picture isn't even wearing one ... it's a badly cut/paste of the image at the top.

    Oh, wait ... You could get several.

    Then use them to roll down hillsides to quickly get to the water.
