    Film Tour Must Go On

    By Tim Romano

    Photo by Tim Romano

    While I know plenty of you have most likely heard the news, I felt I had to make sure that the Fly Talk nation was aware of what has transpired. The Fly Fishing Film Tour's original members, better known as AEG resigned on New Years eve effectively shutting down the tour for this year. Nobody really knows for sure what happened, but a lot of people were bummed that the film tour (a Warren Miller-esque tour for fly fishing movies) wasn't going to make the rounds.

    The Scent of a Cheater

    By Kirk Deeter

    Hoo-ah!  I know I'll raise some hackles with this one...

    But here you go:  I think scents, on flies, in a flyfishing context, is a low-down, dirty, stinky trick.  I've heard all the angles... Alaska guides dipping flesh flies in a bucket of roe or fresh-cut fillets... dipping those glo-bugs in goo... I even heard about a guy who crumpled his nymph flies in a ground-up bag of Cheetos.  "Well, it masks that human scent..."

    Trouble In Sportsman's Paradise

    By Tim Romano

    From: The St. Brenard News, January 21, 2009

    It turns out they take their angling infractions pretty seriously down in the bayous of Louisiana.  While enjoying a shrimp po-boy the other day I took to scanning the the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff's department arrests section in the newspaper. There must have been over one hundred arrests on just one page.

    Recession Busters: Beer, Nicotine, and Flyfishing

    By Kirk Deeter

    I have to admit, I was pretty stunned by the fly angler turnout at the International Sportsmen's Exposition in Denver this past weekend.  And I have it on good authority that the Fly Fishing Show in Somerset, New Jersey, was hopping over the past few days as well.

    The Best Way to Break a Flyrod

    By Kirk Deeter

    Oh, I've heard them all... Of course, "I broke it on a fish" is most common.  No doubt, that's most the most "worthy" excuse.

    I might be the king of fly rod breakage... I've lost count.  I've busted tips in the automatic windows of my truck.  I've stepped on them.  I've walked them into trees. Even had a dog eat one.

    Ever Carry a Piece, Flyfishing?

    By Kirk Deeter

    I'm wondering how many of you have ever carried a sidearm while flyfishing.

    In roughly 25 years, I never have.  Never carried pepper spray, or anything else, for that matter.  And I have fished a lot, from Alaska with the bears, down to South America.  (Okay, on that Bolivia story, we had pistols, but we didn't actually wear them while fishing.)  Not that I have a problem with carrying sidearms.  I enjoy shooting them.

    But have you ever, really, felt the need to carry when you fish?
