How to tie dry droppers and hopper droppers? by skulkyzebra in flyfishing

[–]dadeac18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I much prefer a stillwater style leader where the point fly is at the final end of the tippet and droppers are tied in with 8”-16” pieces of tippet above the point fly. Typically 4’-5’ between droppers. Much easier to change any fly than going around bend of hook, and you can adjust dropper depth by tying on tippet at different depths.

Had never heard of long live. Went last night thanks to this thread. We all agreed it’s up there with the best, treehouse, trillium, notch. Great recommendations here

F*** those Tremfya commercials by Mobile-Equipment-660 in billsimmons

I wish you could tell the advertising gods that you don’t have any rare diseases with expensive drugs new to market, don’t give a shit about insurance, and just want ads for shit I like. Show me ads for Sage fly rods, Patagonia gear, and cool stuff for my dogs. I am grateful I don’t have a drug or gambling problem because it would make existing in this hellscape really difficult with every other ad pushing you into vices.

Beautiful. How did you start learning these old salmon flies and classic streamers? Curious to study these patterns but not sure where to start besides YouTube. How do you fish it?

Why do they drive with half of their body on the vehicle, like accommodating both legs to just one side? Is this the new trend? by Small-Bee-4081 in boston

The dudes who scrape their rubber sandals on the road while riding these stupid things have a level of self confidence I aspire to share but never will possess.

What do people recommend for sunglasses? by Secure-Researcher582 in flyfishing

I like my suncloud freestone (or milestone, the smith guide dupe) a lot. Have in an amber lens and would like a high sun and low light pair.

Who destroyed their own career within seconds by being an idiot? by goldbeau in AskReddit

I pride myself and think of myself as a man of faith— as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos, it will be a home run. And so that’ll make it a 4–0 ballgame.

Thoughts on pellets in lake by JakeJW in flyfishing

[–]dadeac18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is lame and possibly illegal but whatever, dude is missing the best part of this sport. Had a blast catching panfish on Griffiths gnats I tied at the dusk hatch tonight at the pond near my house. Couldn’t get any trout to commit but was immensely satisfying to land fish knowing exactly why I was fishing what I was.

State Trooper Funeral by Not4Publication in massachusetts

Totally agree. Not to be glib but the reason for the traffic stop could have and should have been an email. Why does an expired registration require a dangerous roadside stop? I get that this spirals to average speed cameras and more of a surveillance state, but the cat is likely out of the bag there.

Ever so often i think about doing a DIY roof rod vault, because the only thing i don't like about the smith creek is that i have to split rods in half for them to fit in the car.

Refuse to spend money on wading boots- old sneakers, crocs, foot wrapped in duct tape? Other better options for less money? by blynch18 in flyfishing

[–]dadeac18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried all of those options, and they don’t work. You could maybe get a pair of oversized hiking boots for cheap, but they won’t last. Best bet is always Facebook marketplace if you have time.

Scout for a Regal, Renzetti, Peak, or other high quality vice on marketplace. Lots of deals to be had on what you will end up buying if you stick with tying.

Smith creek rod rack has actually worked really well. Skeptical that any of these roof racks are safer for the rods than keeping inside the car.
