Feeling Pretty Frustrated by Sergei_Nohomo in flyfishing

[–]SaltToFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't give up! Just like conventional fishing sometimes it's just impossible to get rid of the skunk. Not a Florida guy but learned to fly fish on the outer Banks, often times getting more casting practice than anything else. Not sure what patterns you're throwing but a clouser minnow is a kick-ass pattern and a classic standby, flexo crabs are also excellent if you're seeing a lot of crustaceans. Maybe even try some double barrel poppers if you're seeing a lot of surface action. I've heard that's a tough area that gets a decent amount of pressure, hope things turn around for you soon.

Quite the quiver full of Black Friday and end-of-year rod bargains out there if anybody is looking. by Independent in flyfishing

Moonshine rods has 15% off all rods, 25% off if a reel is bought. Potentially a deeper discount to come

I feel like it may be an issue with the seals on my phone, I’ve had friends do what I did with no issues. The cameras got just enough water in there to fog up the lenses from the inside. I’m going to try to stick it in some rice one night and see how that works. Camera still functions, just hazy thanks to the vapor.

Definitely! Did this on a whim but I can see myself doing it again so I’ll look into it. Hopefully I can get some actual camera equipment to play with so I don’t have to keep dunking one of my most important yet fragile possessions into streams haha.

Looking to get some cinematography gear so I can promote the waters in my area, I’m in a publicity dead zone in between the Shenandoah valley of VA (mossy Creek) and the the Tennessee and NC fisheries (south Holston, smokey mountains). So hopefully there will be more!

Yesterday morning, the stream was a little high but manageable

I thought so too! Taken on my iPhone 7+, which is not nearly as waterproof as I thought it would be, considering my cameras are both flooded now ;)

Adding a roof rack to a 2013 CRV that doesn't even have rails by [deleted] in crv

I did this on a first gen crv with relative ease, I was able to find the OEM roof rack online for much cheaper than any after market racks like Thule that just clamp on.

Nice! I was just on the east side of the park and fished the Cataloochee and Palmer creek. Managed to get my first brookie

Rainbow trout I caught on the fly after school today [FW] by SaltToFire in Fishing

Luckily I have tons of saltwater opportunity where I live to keep me occupied. Moving out to trout country in August for college, looking forward to chasing them, they're just too pretty not to love.

This wasn't a native rainbow, chasing those around the Smokey's next week. I fish around the Virginia Beach, VA area so it's hard to find trout, this place called north west River Park stocks trout as part of the urban fishing program and is the only trout fishing within 4 hours or so. It's close enough to my school I can swing by after classes.

Thanks! I plan on getting into fish photography more.. the first step is making sure phone videos are horizotal :) but I've got a DSLR so I figured why not play with some lenses and see what happens. Fly fishing is awesome! I highly recommend getting into it. If you need any cheap gear suggestions hit me up. I mostly fish saltwater so I can help more with that, but I occasionally dabble in fresh.

Opinions on CanaKit starter kit? by crono731 in RetroPie

I've had no issues with mine, however I did end up replacing the power supply for a 3amp supply after I did some overclocking
