Hey guys, i have a camping trip planned this weekend on some private land that i just learned is very close to the baker ford river access. How is the fishing around there? Is it wadeable, or any bank access? I figured id go ahead and bring my waders, i just have never been to this part of the river. Thanks for any help!

We used Two Sons Floats and i have to recommend them to anyone. They have a really nice place with tons of camping, they even have a "quiet" section for families. We put in on a low water bridge and did a 4 mile float back to their beach. They were a great group of guys, and even let us shoot a few boxes of skeet before we got on the water. MoCarp - I used 2 different crawdad patterns in 3 different colors and nothing was working. I also tried on a zara pup (and several others) on my spinning reel and fished the quick water and had nothing, they just were not interested, but we definately saw a lot of them!

The float Friday was great, but the fishing was not. There were 5 of us fishing, 2 being fly fishers, and the only fish we pulled in all day was a rather large perch. It was very windy and the water was flowing a little quick, but we saw fish everywhere they just wouldnt take anything we offered. I used several different crawdad and minnow patterns and a few poppers. The other guys used everything from soft plastic tubes and worms to spinners of all sorts. Even though the fishing wasn't so hot, the trees were turning and we had a great time!

i never thought of a handwarmer belt, much less i haven't seen one in any local shops. where can you find them at? or am i just not looking hard enough?

Thanks for all of yalls inputs! I figured the gloves i mentioned earlier would be the warmest but wasn't sure about how the neoprene would affect handling the fish as Terry mentioned. I am relatively new to trout fishing, but if using a catch & release net i rarely actually come in contact with the fish, would the neoprene be all right in that circumstance? I guess my question is how sensitive are the trout?

Thanks for all the help! I had figured the water would be pretty low, everything around Fayetteville is pretty dried up as well. I will let you guys know after next week how the fishing is and hopefully the cold won't set in just yet.

Hey guys, new to fly fishing and was checking out some gloves to use once the colder weather rolls around and wasn't sure to look at fleece or neoprene. I did run across these Jacob Ash Fishing Gloves and thought they were a pretty good deal. Let me know what yall prefer, thanks!

Hey guys, my boss has a client taking him on a float trip to the elk Oct. 20 and he has asked me to come along because he doesn't do much fishing. I'm guessing it is mainly smallmouth and I will most likely fly fish, but I might bring my ultra light. Anyone have any reports on anything out there? I notice its been a pretty quiet topic but i appreciate any help. Thanks

I don't have the STL, but i bought a pair of lower end boots earlier this summer. They are my first pair of wading boots and i really have enjoyed them. They are on the heavy side, but thats probably why they were only around $50. I do wish i would have spent the extra $ and gotten the next expensive style that has a quick lace up. As far as comfort goes I don't think it could be a better bang for my buck. hope this helps
