Fly Fishing BS thread

What do you mean?

 

I have one of these on my wall:

Have never used it to fish by (will now). Use it more for weather. Pretty spot on.
Thing hit rock bottom during hurricane Sandy passing over the top of us.
That was cool to watch.

 

DrFunker.......I don't want to break any rules by posting a link to my link for 3 outfits for sale.

 

I think you would be okay. Start a thread and link it in here too.
Looks like you have the posts and you have been here long enough.

 

I have already got the for sale thread - sold an outfit in 1 day, still have 3 to go. The idea is to direct people on this thread to my for sale thread without stepping on anyone's toes.

 

I can't see how it would be an issue. After all, just about everyone in this thread has posted a link for some random, fly fishing item. To me it seems pretty much the same.

Maybe ask yourself 1 question. Am I contributing to the thread?

If yes, then I would think that earns you the right to link some stuff you have for sale.

BTW, those are some nice outfits. I own one of the G Loomis Pro 4x rods as well.

 

koditten.....maybe you need a Pro4X 4wt outfit??

Actually, that is the highest-valued rod in this group and the one I would have the least problem keeping!!

 

Here is a link to some outfits I have for sale:

Lol. Don't temp me.

 

I was lucky enough to get out and fish a few of Wisconsin's spring creeks last week during a warm-up. I have a tough time figuring out these winter fish but did manage a rainbow that knows less about flyfishing than I do.

 

If I needed another set up, I’d be down.

 

WBF610: EVERYBODY needs another set up!!!!!

Make me an offer.....worst I can do is say no......need to buy a standby generator, so these HAVE TO GO!!!

 

Thanks. I don’t want to hurt your feelings by low balling you.

 

Do any of you have resevoirs or dams near you where you fish? a friend showed me this for my area. gives some good indications of what the water temp and level is doing.

Yep, I use it when I know there has been a huge rainfall. No sense fishing a river if the river is blown out from heavy rains.

 

great tool been using it for years!

 

Went for about an hour this evening. Only caught 1. Figured it would be much better than it was. Water was higher than it’s been in forever and stained for the first time in forever. Had to break out the streamer to get any action

 

so how many days does it take to settle the fish back down after a flow change?

 

I like to wait a week after spring floods are done. A couple days if you just have a random huge rainfall event. Smaller streams will take less time.

I have it good here in Michigan. If one side of the state got drenched, usually the other side is fair game. Its great having options. In addition, I'm 2 hours from anywhere good to fish. Just a matter of choosing which way I want to go.

I consider the travel time part of my day on the water. I'm not at work, so it's a win.

 

depends on the stream and time if year. late spring early summer i get good fishing when the flow increases as long as its not flood stage. the bigger streams usually a couple days, again if its flood stage it will take about a week. early spring can be tuff because of snow melt, but look at the avg for that month and see where it's at. you will have to remember what certin flow rates look like on each stream. it gets easier to judge the more you use it.

When i fisrt started using it i would look at avg flow rate and where the stream was the day i fished it, then water temp. and clarity, and how the fishing was. after awhile you will know what streams to skip or hit just by looking at the website. It saves alot of driving and makes for more productive fishing
