Flycasting Faults & Fixes
For those who have seen Mel Krieger - either in real life or on video - this is not new: the man is a one-man theater!
Miscellanea Emerger
The idea of Joe Kissane's Miscellanea Emerger is based on the idiom of "throwing in everything but the kitchen sink; however, he couldn't justify the length of "everything but the kitchen sink" for a pattern name, and someone told him that the name Kitchen Sink was already used
...so there you have it
Bumpy GFF
We're currently trying to clean out a whole lot of old and bad code on GFF and that will give a few bumps on the road. We're trying to track down all errors, but many escape us. Please let us know if ...
Forum down
Due to some maintenance and restructuring of our database, we have had to bring the forum down for repairs.
The new way of doing things for the rest of the site has reduced the load on our server ...
Underexpose
This might sound like a strange piece of advice, but GFF partner Martin Jorgensen writes: "Trust me: you generally want to underexpose your digital images. Almost every single one of them. "
Read why in this newest article on getting better fishing pictures.
Modern Spey Casting
Casting trio, The Pefect Cast - Distance and Delicacy - Cracking the Code
These three DVD's on casting and salmon fishing are quite an odyssey through these subjects and at the same time a journey almost as far around the world as you can come.
A Fine Fish
In my part of the world, rainbow trout are exotic fish. They certainly are not native to NY waters and are rarely stocked in streams or rivers. In fact, the only river I know in NY that got stocked with rainbow trout was the Black River in the southern Adirondacks, but the discovery of Whirling Disease may have affected that stocking program. I have not caught a Black River rainbow trout in a few years, so I don't know if they are still there or not.
The Rise
This past weekend, I met a couple friends for a day's fishing on Willowemoc Creek. I was walking back to join the crew when I decided to fiddle with my new camera awhile. You see, one bugaboo picture for me with my other camera was any picture that featured a dark shaded shoreline. The camera usually compensated for the darkness and the photo would be ruined.
