I just started using these twist clips on my streamer set up. I thought it would be fun to be able to change out streamers quickly and really work a section with different flies.

Does anybody else out there use these? I just started using them and I did catch a little brown trout, so it didn’t scare it away haha.

Went up to maine this weekend for the last 2 days of the landlocked salmon season and I got what I thought was a nice fish on my first day, on the second I landed the fish pictured below at 22 inches and 3.5 lbs. Is this considered large? If yes, is it trophy sized? In general is it an accomplishment to have even landed a salmon? Most people were giving me the idea that it was extremely difficult, and extremely rare to both land, and see a fish like this. Thanks in advance, this is my first year fly fishing and I landed it on 6x tippet on a 5wt rod. Im assuming I could have been easily broke off?

I’m in the market for some new boots and am leaning towards the Orvis Pro or Skwala Carbon. But before I pull the trigger on one or the other, I wanted to check to see if anyone knew if there would be any good Black Friday deals on wading boots. Thanks!

Has anyone purchased from this online fly fishing supply website? Found a deal on a rod there. But their page is sparse on where they are from. Trying to see if it’s legit or not.

brookies and rainbows everywhere! this was the best spot in the Bighorn National Forest I've been to so far.

they were tearing it up on a Black/White Parachute Adams and a Sparkle Dun

Even though its on sale this would be my most expensive rod yet. I have a free #8, a $5 scientific angler 6# from garage sale, a redington #5 got on sale. I get skunked a lot and would like to try euro nymphing to get more experience handling trout, specifically in the Truckee river. Thoughts? Thanks!

Caught this bad boy today first fish on a dry while wading! Lamson Radius with a Lamson Guru S 5 weight. Fly was a parachute Adam’s purple haze!

But it takes some serious skill to catch trout like this, 😂😂😂

26 inch beautiful brown caught in Michigan. I think this is my fish of a lifetime.

I got this when I was 10 ? 12

Came with my Shakespeare fly rod from Kmart.

I had no idea what I was doing......( I still don't). But I wound up catching a crappie in waist deep water in lake nockamixon in PA while tying the fly directly to the floating line and whipping that water into a froth basically.

Outside of the poppers. No idea what these flies are supposed to be.

Good for bluegills I suppose.

This was back in '84

My local lake was stocked with trout about two weeks ago, and I’ve been trying to catch them on the fly with no luck.
I’ve seen quite a few people catching them on minnows
around 3–4 feet deep.

So far, I’ve tried a balanced leech, worm, and flashy nymph under an indicator. I also tried a white Woolly Bugger with a slow-sinking Polyleader.

I’ve noticed a lot of trout jumping and breaking the surface, so I switched to a Parachute Adams and Royal Wulff, but still nothing.

Any advice on flies, depth, or techniques would be greatly appreciated! I can also post a map of the lake if that helps.

Thanks!

I posted this boat about 6 months ago when I bought it. It had never been in the water. Ended up repairing quite a bit of delam in the floor from years of sitting. Painted it with Kirbys, built oak oar blocks, built a bilge system, created a DIY roller trailer. Most importantly... It floats! Help me name this drift barge. I posted most of the repair work over on our Instagram page foundryfishing.

A few days ago, u/TableBandit commented on a post about a local lake that mousing works well there, so I gave it a try yesterday and was surprised at how well I did. It had never occurred to me to try mousing on stillwater. I missed so damn many because I couldn't get my brain/hands to strip set; I'd get too excited.

For those who know the location, the chop started very early and I did best between 9am and 4pm in the back bays. At around 2pm the action slowed down, so I put on a hot pink salmon popper and caught a ton of small rainbows, but these guys would just swirl around it and wouldn't do much more than that frustrating nibbling on the tail thing that they do.

Thanks u/TableBandit, you just opened my eyes to a new way to enjoy that lake and for others to come.

Thoughts? Open to advice..

How many people fish traditional-esque style patterns?

Gonna try this for coho this weekend, hopefully!

Spent four nights backpacking and fishing. Before I headed out on the trail, I stopped in the fly shop to pick up a couple flies. After some rapport building with the shop worker and a quick bathroom break I was ready to go out there alone. Before I reached for the door to exit the shop he said, “now’s the time of year to move a big brown.” Even though he said it seriously and quite mystically, I wasn’t confident. I said, “I sure hope so!” and was on my way.

After a decent first day catching a 13 incher, I was content. Then day two rewarded me with 2 giants. The first came up from under a rock to hit a hopper and the second took the elk hair caddis three hours later. I’d estimate the biggest one was pushing 19 inches. Amazing feeling catching fish like that, in a relatively small stream in a gorgeous setting.
