Shane,
I'll be on the pond helping some of the new club members perfect their casting before the meeting, stop by and say hi.

I saw this on another site and thought it worth posting here. Following are 10 tips for insuring that your catch makes it back into the water for another angler to pursue. While these guidelines are written from the perspective of the trout and salmon fisherman, virtually all of these guidelines app...

Jim,
You miss them even when they are hooked.

David D'Beaupre (owner of Sierra Trout Magnet) will reveal his secrets for fishing the Eastern Sierra's at the Long Beach Casting Club. Don't miss this one as David is a very enthusiastic speaker that knows this area well. His presentation is Secrets for Fishing The Eastern Sierra's , Thursday, 5/30...

I would not think that once you hooked and landed a fish that it would be inclined to do it again right away. One thing is the fish needs to go back to the feeding lie it was at when you 1st hooked it. More likely it was looking for a place to hide which may or may not be the same as a feeding lie. ...

Chuck,
That is good news, I hope you can now spend more time on the water. If you need somebody to go call me.

Wow, this thread has grown quite large. I guess most of us on this board are passionate about how fish should be handled to insure the long term health of the fish and fishery. Jon maybe Kent at Troutfitters should be made aware of the negative publicity his response to your email has generated. Mark

Andre,
I'm sorry to hear some scum-bag ripped you off. Hopefully you can get back on the water soon.

Jon, I think you did the right thing in pointing out the incorrect way to handle a trout that is going to be released supposedly unharmed. I think it is too bad that Kent took offence to you pointing out the improper way to handle a fish. So many guides out there don’t like it when you point out way...

I’ll be trying out mine this weekend, I look forward to a more simple approach to less is better. When I first started fly fishing last century I carried a film canister of flies, an extra leader, (I didn’t know to use tippet yet) floatant and nippers. If I recall the fish didn’t care and were usual...

Lucky for us there are a lot of rods that are available from various rod manufactures to choose from. The hard part is determining which one suits your style, budget, and needs. George Anderson is doing something that may or may not help you make that choice. If your favorite rod makes a high score ...

Coupon expired as of 10:22 PST April 28th as it was declined during my ordering process. Thanks for the info though, I almost bought one. I'll wait for another sale. Bob The ad says its good through today, Monday. You might want to give them a call. I just contacted them about the Patagonia bag I b...

You lucked out; I just ordered one earlier in the week from them.
