watch those water temps. If its getting warm and you have alot of snow melt it will drop the water temps down to much and the fish will be non active. temps should be on the rise if you want to fish. A rise of 2 degrees sometimes will put the fish on the feed. here in eastern pa. the spring creeks are in the mid 30"s from snow melt. The fish are not active. Normal temps should be around 40 - 45.

walmart is carring some of orvis's low end rods, the streamline. the green mtn is not being offered by orvis as far as I know (I work at an orvis store). There are some new things this year but no new lines yet. The green mtn might be a closeout or leftovers from SA. equel to a cortland 333.

s.e.pa.here......welcome to the site.........

i lose that many in a week.....

i've never used anything on my hands, if you have a problem with dry cracked hands try a little sand paper on the tips then a hand lotion. i was in construction for years and this is what i did. keri lotion seems to work really well and quick. just remember to use it every day..

I have fly 2000, if i ever get a newer puter it will be a godsend. seems like everytime i get things right on this dinosaur i crash..

I've been using scotchgard for years and now i use a product called water shed..not sure how others work some leave to much fim and tend to make the fly heavy...thompsons, etc...

there used to be a website on the shad in the st. johns. try doing a search for it. other wise i would fish the same patterns that i use here on the Delaware river.

for pa fish try bill skiltons hellgrammite patterns they work great in se. pa.

i paid 110.00 when it first came out and have it autographed by don bastion who did the wets and he also gave me six wets that are in the book..

I have one and think its worth every dollar..great patterns and pics.

They are no good send them to me and I'll dispose of them for you...

there is a tool for doing proportions on dry flies, especially catskill style. Its called the "golden Mean" proportion tool. get one and watch how good your flies turn out. Its made by Flycraft in conn.

I started in 1968 skinnin roosters for a shop in exchage for leasons. On the weekends the owner would drag me to the catskills where I learned from people like Lee Wulff, Art Flick, the Dettes, and harry Darbee. Since then I have tied pretty much none stop. Now I tie for a shop I work at and do custom orders for clients.

also smallie hunter that movie should have won an acadamy award!!!

check out bill skiltons hellgrammite pattern in his book, works great where ever i use it.

where did u find it what river system ? looks like a green drake.

clousers crawfish patterns work the best here in eastern pa...

somewhere around 100-125...that includes my classes at the shop...

I wish I had that problem, I'm always tying either for my stock or custom orders for the store..

using glow in the dark seems to put saltwater fish off. Think about all the organizims that glow in the ocen thats bad. for fresh water they seem to work as long as you dont over do it with the materials. one place you can find glow in the dark stuff is a craft store(a.c.moore, Mcmichaels, etc.)

daryn, did u drug that pooch to pose like that..

daryn, I don't use them but they sell for 25.00 a dozen in N.J.

how much are your bloodworms ?????????????
