No need for a tackle box full of lures.

All you need is a fly rod and a match the hatch kit.

When you go to the water, look at what's for fish lunch, and tie some up.

Nash, I once tried to fish with a flyrod...but I just couldn't master it.

A Lucky 13 gives it plenty of range but the rod tip is too limber to properly work the plug.

Regards, Shuckins

This is my rig:



It's light-weight, using materials developed by NASA!.... so I pack it with me when I go.

No doubt. :)
Out of all of the rods I have owned, and there have been many, my very favorite was a Berkley cherrywood, medium action bass rod. Loved that rod. Someone else liked it a lot too. They stole it.

Does anyone know what to look for in a fishing pole?  I need to buy one for the weekend and I think I might go looking tomorrow if I can get up early enough.  Nothing too expensive, but smething that isn't 1 piece either.  I was looking at ugly stik's the other day, the seemed nice, but 1 piece I believe.


:aok Have a good day


Ugly sticks are not one peice.. that is the best rod in my book.. and if you break it they will replace it..

Hey Nash...Looks sweet.

I have a leader wallet full of various hooks, dubbing, fur and feathers and sit down next to the stream and tie something up that looks about right.  If it works I'll sit down at the bench at home and tie a dozen.

What I've been looking for is a fly vice that has a lag screw mounting.  Something I can screw into a log on the side of the creek and ...instant fly tie station.  No luck yet, I just use a cheap one that I don't mind going swimming with.  (for the kit anyway)

Hey Holden,

I wish I could tie without a vice, but I'm all thumbs. At home I use the clamp, but I've got a metal base that this screws into for using it on the banks - works pretty good.

Having a screw for logs is a hell of an idea....
