Should I wear my wading jacket inside or outside of my waders?
How should I read the water in rivers for bass?
Is there an advantage to shorter rods when fishing for bass in rivers?
I caught two rainbows that looked exactly the same. Could it have been the same fish?
Do graphite rods get slower over time?
What advice do you have for getting a fly rod for a 5-year-old?
How do fish get rid of flies when you break them off?
I fished a river and all I caught was creek chubs. Is that a good or bad sign, and is it worth going back to that river?
