BEST bullitin board on the web

[Carl Blackledge]

Hey guys,

I visit most of the fly fishing bulletin boards on the web on a regular basis, I don't hesitate to voice my opinion or ask a lot of questions, or give out advice. I just hope you guys realize what a wonderful web site Bill Kiene has set up for us and he sponsors it out of his own pocket, This is 100% the very best fly fishing bulletin board on the web, Thank you Bill.

The fish sniffer forum I think was the best overall. Lots of info on runs showing up or fish were biting good. If you wanted to know if the salmon/striper were in and where FS was the place. Kiene is definitely the best fly fishing forum in CA.

Kiene's Fly Shop got a dozen free Fish Sniffer publications every time it came out so we could give them away.

I read the entire magazine each time we received them.

It has excellent fishing info in it, but you just had to look past the "dead fish pictures".

I knew some of the original guys like founder big Hal Bonslett and writer Dan Bacher.



Great publication.........

In the 1970s when I worked at Sports Unlimited on Arden Way we sponsored the TV show, "Bel lang, the Outdoorsman".

We had events at the shop where professional fishman and casters came to show us how good they where.

I met Pro bass legend Bobby Murry back then too. He had a brother who was good too.

When he was young he said snorkeled the famous bass lakes to see where the fish were.

"California Angler Magazine" in the 1980s? was the best local high quality fishing magazine.

Mike & Kris Fong had their "Inside Angler" fly fishing magazine too.

Bill,tell me you're going to write a book about your life in fly fishing,I'm sure it would be of great interest to many.

We have all been very lucky to have found fly fishing as a hobby or even a life style for many.

I pretty much spent my entire adult life in the sporting goods business and really enjoyed it.

I had some really amazing customers over the years with many already gone now.



I am very glad I still have this forum to keep me connected to the sport and the people.

It is a good board but participation is lacking. A lot of lookers and not many posters. Sometimes there are 4 members viewing the board and 400 non members. It is like four people standing in the middle of a room having a conversation surrounded by 400 people trying to listen in. People come to the board to see something but don’t want to put up anything to be seen. I guess that is how the internet is. Whatever. Fish on and post if you want to or don’t. Free country.
