Fly Fishing BS thread

i remember that one thanks for the info I'm heading up to Roscoe NY in may for a week of fly fishing I mite have to get a sling pack and try it out. I'll be on the water all day

 

looks like u had angood day. the suckers put up a good fight

 

no such thing here at TW don't be sorry any and all info is great. Patti makes great gear. its def. on my list of packs to check out

 

I got this one for salmon fishing. Doubles as a wading belt, and saved my ass a time or two this last season.

It has the shoulder strap enabling it to swing around to access gear, which it holds a ton of it.

nice pack great price! how is for back support?

 

It's better on my back than overloading a vest. I fished all day with it, theee times, this past season, and my back was fine. You can tighten the shoulder strap to take some of the weight off, but it's fine with just the belt. I have an extra reel, two bottles of water, two rolls of line, weight 1-2lbs of lead, pliers, leaders, two fly boxes, lunch, snacks, rain jacket, gloves, and other random stuff in it. I'm glad I got it.

 

that holds alot!

 

Yes it does. Regarding price, I got it from Cabelas, cheaper than listed, with points.

 

I use an Orvis guide sling and it has more than enough room.

Roll of TP, flashlight, sammich, raincoat, water bottle, flask, 6 fly boxes, tippet, and a buncha other small shit. I highly recommend checking one out if you do alotta hiking/all day fishing.

 

Finally someone who listed a liquid besides "water"!

2 bottles of water? Riiiight.

 

I save the liquor for around the fire at night, at least when I'm salmon fishing. but, the cooler in the truck is generally stocked should the need arise.

 

LOL.

Always gotta have a flask of Scotch along with a good cigar in your fishing pack

 

Always.

 

Beer stays in the cooler in the truck for afterwards.

Its hard to beat an ice cold beer after 12 hours of hiking and fishing.

 

Ive walked in your shoes for 28 years ( I'm from Pennsylvania ). Walk in mine for 12 more ,and the weather might get you in a funk too. Wettest year in a long time has those dams drawing down. Damn them rivers are high.

 

Finally found the fly fishing thread! Fighting some high and fast rivers, but still had fun chasing some fish on a quick camping trip here in Oregon.

 

Speaking of camping, had another trip planned for this weekend, now it's supposed to rain and snow all weekend.

It was hot and sunny the last 2 weekends I got stuck doing bullshit I didn't wanna do instead of camping/fishing.


I Can't catch a fuckin break

 

Where were you planning on fishing? I grew up in Greensburg, and used to hit the Laurel Highlands up frequently.

 

I fish the Laurel Highlands a lot. Some of my best fish have come from little trickles off of Laurel Ridge.

I'm from the Upper Burrell, so it's a straight shot down 66 to the turnpike then it's smooth sailing to the Laurel highlands. I can be to a lot of nice water in little over an hour.

We had plans to meet up with some buddies from Ohio in ANF and spend the weekend fishing, camping, and drinkin beers.


I may end up south this weekend on a day trip Sunday if the weather doesn't change.

 

Nice. Where in the ANF? I have a place outside of Ridgway.
