Fly fishing has always been much too self important and the old website is becoming a great example of that. I know this website won’t abort the fun. Via la Travers!
Tom, thank you for sharing. I chuckle when young people complain about being bored. Damn fools. I used to wash dishes in a restaurant, and I’d never do it again. I think I am still catching up on sleep.
Tom is clearly an expert fisherman. He got us all hooked and doesn’t even care to reel us in. Sometimes you just need to enjoy being a fish on the end of a line, that is all you get.
I’m pretty sure he was the guy I would see at Fortson a lot in the late 90s early 2000s with a full sink fly line and some treble hooks on the end. He apparently learned to blend in with a fly rod a bit more at that point. He was chatty. I was just a kid back then so I remember seeing those...
Lol. Yes I do remember that but had entirely forgotten it until now. I recall when it occurred to me that Joe Brown had not posted that and realizing what was going on. At first I thought it was yet another fisherman with a huge ego posting some bullshit about themselves and hadn’t actually read...

Its because steelhead fishermen embrace experiences that would make most people wish death on themselves. They look hopeless odds in the face and then punch them in the mouth. They thrive in weather conditions that would leave the average man crying and soiled like a baby. Steelhead fishing is...
I was bank fishing the Sauk about a month ago when a raft was parked nearby and 4 guys were fishing across from me. I hooked up and my fish jumped a couple times and those guys were hooting and hollering for me. I didn't make a sound. When I got the fish near the bank downstream it was a sand...
The young guides are the worst. The Clacka mentioned above has anchored two rod lengths from me to fish the boulder I was fishing. They caught a steelhead netted it and brought it into the boat and then traversed the entire river for pics. Another dozen boats came through after that and all of...
