FlyFishinFool Posted February 26, 2010 Posted February 26, 2010 Hi y'all - I live in the St. Louis area and fly fish anyplace I can for trout or smallmouth. I also like to occasionally hit farm ponds and small lakes to fly fish for bass. I started fly fishing many years ago, and I have fished from Florida to Alaska; but I am still amazed at all the knowledge out there that I have never heard. I learn something new about this sport almost every day, and often from fly fishing forums. I hope to get information about some new (and old) places to go fly fishing, and learn some more new ideas about fly fishing. * ´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((º> .¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> I look in my fly box and think about what should guide my choice of the best fly: the amount/angle of sun on the water, the water temp & clarity, what bugs are hatching, what the fish might be eating, and what worked last time. Then I remember what an old man told me... " Ninety percent of what a trout eats is brown, fuzzy, about 1/2 inch long and underwater."

FlyFishinFool Posted February 26, 2010 Author Posted February 26, 2010 I think it has actually impacted both my budget AND my truck - every time I drive anywhere in that general direction my truck just seems to veer off course and right toward Feather-Craft. Amazing! * ´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> `•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((º> .¸¸.•´¯`•.¸ ><((((((º> I look in my fly box and think about what should guide my choice of the best fly: the amount/angle of sun on the water, the water temp & clarity, what bugs are hatching, what the fish might be eating, and what worked last time.
