Fly Fishing BS thread

I think I will also be selling the saltwater outfit and getting a 9wt Tidal or Sage Method (now that they are on closeout) that will better suit my needs. If anyone here has any interest or knows someone else who might feel free to send me a PM. It has all been fished literally only 3 times and there are zero flaws. The warranty has also not been registered.

 

Anyone know what these are?

For real tho I’ve never seen anything like that.....some kinda mayfly nymph I’d guess but cannot find an image of a mayfly with 4 huge cerci like that.

 

Researched a bit too and came away with nothing. They were pretty small. I should carry a coin with me for perspective.

 

I’m clueless. Just spend some time searching and can’t find it. Any nuke plants nearby?

 

Actually......
The river where I saw those isn't it, but have you heard the story about the Housatonic river in western Mass?
Loaded with PCBs. I will not fish that river.....ever.

 

never heard of it. i will look it up. the salmon river in ny is like that. i fish it, but never keep anything

 

One source with some info:

Lots of lakes and rivers have issues with PCB’s.

 

Almost salmon season! I have three trips planned at this point. Maybe more if it is as good as being predicted.

 

Yeah? From the runoff most likely?

 

New rod to get the kids going.


Will also make a great brook/small stream rod when they aren't with me to fish.

 

My understanding is that they were used in a lot of industrial application way back.

 

ahh
These from GE were waste from the transformers they were making and then intentionally dumping at a site near the river and in a lake,
known as Silver Lake "the lake that never freezes".

 

A couple pics from camp this past week. Stream temps are cool enough to fish one small spring stream.
