AH-HA! So YOU are the "King of the Morons"…I was wondering just who it was, and suspected he might just be hangin’ around ROFF…and just why weren’t you right in thick of it? Pansy! Pansy! ROFF is like a classroom full of highschool girls who talk and talk and talk but don’t seem to DO anything about it.
Highschool girls? HIGHSCHOOL GIRLS? HEY, LOOK BUDDY, I’LL HAVE YOU KNOW I HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION – er, where is wayno?

Oh, shoot, Mark, we can’t ALL be as tough and rugged as you’d like…heck, some of us are barely able to get our thin, pale, and sickly fingers to move across the keyboard, and now, you want actual physical violence…you, sir, are a meany! Heck, why just last week, as I was beating "The Rock" into a bloody pulp for suggesting that I had, perhaps, forgotten my manners and not held my pinkie properly during elevensies, I thought to myself, "you know, I’m getting much too old for this. It’d be so much easier to simply go and screw around with them wimps (hey, you say "pansy," I say "wimps," but let’s call the whole thing off…topic…or A CAGE MATCH TO DEATH!!!) on ROFF"…when I had to put him into "The Double Suplex Sleeping Clawraker" for not passing the biscuits fast enough, I decided: ATTACK! ATTACK!! If you are really that insulted or irate, get on a fricken airplane and have it out. Otherwise, please shut up. PLEASE.
Well, shoot, bubba, post your addy, and see who (or what) might show up…I know ol’ Rock is spoiling for a real throw-down, and he ain’t up to foolin’ with me no more…’coursin, if you wanna to come on over, I’ll be happy to confuse you in person, all live and in technicolor… HTH, R

Well, your original post was talking smack, and I’m talking smack back. It’s a talk-back smack attack, Jack. It sounded like kind of a silly post considering that you were basically doing what you accused others of – "tossing insults from behind your nice safe computer keyboard." Therefore I didn’t take you seriously, and my reply wasn’t serious either. On the other hand, if you were serious, then come on over and Jeff Miller and I will give you at least 5 seconds of ass whuppin’ before we keel over and regretfully submit to your will.

Question:
After checking out some books at the library, I went out to Wal-mart and spent about $65. I bought an 8′ rod, a Martin reel, and Cortland line, backing, and a few leaders. I also picked up an assortment of flies. After setting up the rod and doing some false casts, I felt like the rod was very, very fast. Can I do anything with my line and leader to neutralize the fast action, or this a result of a $20 rod? Currently I have a WF6F and 7.5 4X on the rod? I am fishing rivers and streams in central KY preferrably for trout or smallmouth. Any help and advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Brian
Response:
It’s the design of the rod. I guess you could try WF7F but that could limit your casting distance. But if it’s really bothering you take the rod back, Wally World is usually pretty good on returns. Try picking up a rod from a store that has knowledgeable flyfisherman. You might be able to find a quality used rod from a local fly shop, otherwise try G.I. Joe’s (I set my dad up entirely for $130) or maybe even Bi-Mart. Also, you might want to try 9′ leaders instead of 7.5, I’ve found them a little more effective.
Response:
No, you can’t neutralize it, just go with the flow. Use this outfit for casting larger and heavier flies and pick yourself a medium to soft action rod the next go-round. Go to a fly shop and try out different weights, lengths and actions and then use that to plan your next purchase. The action you have is build into your rod and you can not dampen the action. You could use a heavier line to flex you rod more but then you are defeating the purpose.

Olemiss, Learn to cast this 8′ stick. Learn to catch fish with it. Try not to get caught up in the need to buy more stuff. There will be plenty of time for that later, believe me. Mitch

How far were you trying to cast? In my experience, the Wal-mart/K-mart type rods aren’t usually very fast. If you’re a newbie, you probably aren’t casting very far (*I* didn’t anyway!). As you work more line out, the rod shouldn’t seem so fast. The other problem could be that the rod really wants a heavier line than it’s rated. That can be a problem sometimes. My nephew had a Cortland 3/4 weight that really wanted a 5 weight line. You never know unless you try it out. I used a K-mart rod for years, and caught a bunch of fish on it. You may just need to work on your timing. Have fun!! Lee — Lee Hiers, AA4GA Cornelia, Georgia http://www.geocities.com/rainforest/4473

Question:
As far as catching grayling, it may make a difference where you will be fishing. I have fished the Alaska Peninsula for grayling several times. In those waters I have used humpies, elk hair caddis (black body), and brown drake patterns with the most success. All flies were tied on no. 12 hooks. The guide I was with liked the irresistable. To a lesser extent, we have taken grayling with a Royal Coachman and have had those fish hit a deer hair mouse while fishing for rainbows. Interestingly, almost all articles I have read mention using black gnats for grayling. For all the times I have tried these flies, I have *never* caught a grayling with one. Consequently, I have a bunch of these that don’t seem to have a use. Always hit it like you mean it, Steve
Response:
Could someone recommend some patterns for arctic grayling? I went out for them a couple of years ago and had a great time. I want to go again this year and could use some advice on patterns and tactics.

We have had great success with caddis patterns, particularly Elk Hair Caddis size 12 and 14. However, the Grayling need time to come up from the bottom so give the drift a chance. They will often take the dry as it goes under at the turn. Don’t be afraid to wake the fly in short retrieves back to you.

They’re not really sophisticated, especially in Alaska, the Yukon or NWT. I had one take a #2 streamer meant for pike Use a fly you can see – for dries, try the Wulff series, Humpies, or the dry version of a black gnat, all in sizes 8-14. In lakes, they like to congregate where the wind accumulates surface scum – reefs (e.g. in Great Slave) are great. For streams, just think of them as a really dumb (but beautiful) trout. One key note – on dries, they tend to rise in a corkscrew spiral (perhaps their vision is poor). They sometimes miss the fly, and have to take a second try. Don’t strike too soon. — 3798 Woodland Drive voice: (604) 368-9315 Trail, BC data: (604) 368-9341

Question:
Destination question for the group: I am planning (on very short notice) a family vacation to Destin/Panama City, Fla. Should be arriving down there Saturday 6/24. I’ll be driving this time, so I’ll have my vehicle at my disposal. The trip will be heavily slanted towards keeping my wife (not a fisherman) and my three kids (8,6 & 4) happy, but I will have some time available for myself. I assume there’s inshore opportunity for speckled trout, redfish, maybe small tarpon and even snook. On previous trips I’ve been able to do a little evening/morning fishing scattered in here and there. I also usually get away with a half day or so of fishing. The 1/2 day will probably be spent fishing off a party boat or "six pack" type charter. As far as tackle goes, I have to admit I havent much experience with salt water fly fishing. There are no saltwater opportunities in Missouri I’ve got a few BIG deceivers that I’ve used for yellowtail, baracuda and bonita off boats out of southern CA & baja Mexico. I also have an assortment of jigs & plugs for my spinning & casting tackle. Most of this is your typical heavy lead jigs and lipped diving plugs like "Cisco Kid". I’ve got a Sage 890RPL. I use an 8wt Bass Bug Taper line on it. The reel is a Lamson 3. There’s about 100 yds of backing. I’ll also be taking a 7 1/2′ spinning rod with 200+ yds of 17lb mono. I haven’t booked a room yet, but I’m sure we’ll be staying beachfront. So here come the questions: 1) Where to fish 2) What to fish with, epecially inshore in the surf or around jetties/piers/bridges. I am no longer into chucking a hunk of squid or shrimp out and seeing what happens. I don’t need to use fly tackle exclusively, but that would be nice. 3) Any advice along the lines of how to spend the 1/2 day fishing trip. Open to almost anything. and 4) What kind of things other than the beach and pool are there to do for the family. *** THANKS IN ADVANCE! *** -Mark- , O .:/ Mark Devino ,,///;, ,;/ Sr. Recruiter o o:::::::;;/// APPLIED DATA SYSTEMS . ::::::::;;\ St. Louis/St. Charles, Missouri ‘; "I fish, therefore I lie"

In case no one told you, Canada is a little bit bigger than the U.S.A and spans the continient from Nova Scotia on the Atlantic to British Columbia on the Pacific ;^) But seriously, there is lots of great fly fishing all across the country.
