Thanks for this eyes-on report. I was skeptical of the report of Eagle being full. As much water as was coming down Pine Creek in early May it was only a fraction of the amount of water that was...
PM has been sent.
I'd also like to hear some updated info on Davis and Frenchman. Been a while since anyone posted anything about it.
Crowley would be interesting. It's gonna be a long trip to get over there from...
Ah! Thanks for the clarification, Prof. Kenilworth.
Here is an on-line version of the article for those who want to read it. (I'm assuming that this is the article that Lance is referring to.)

Wow. Those are some great looking fish.
I love the Sheep Creek fly, too. Amazingly effective.
A lot of times people will ask "What are you using?" I hand them a Sheep Creek (I've tied up...

Here are two quick stories I know.
You are correct about him being in the tire business. Orange County, maybe?

I was traveling from A to B along Hwy. 4 this weekend and had a few minutes to cast a fly in a creek near the highway.

I liked to check the FishSniffer forums on occasion but I hadn't looked at them in few months. When I went over to the FishSniffer website yesterday they had completely taken down and disabled the...

This would be nice to try but if it does not last for more than a day or two then it might be tough to work the phenomenon this weekend. The trout...
I used to be a regular there making several trips per year. Usually a week or two after the opening weekend in the spring then typically two trips in the fall and early winter.
