  1. Thanks, I haven't been here long enough to explore much of the pemi. Is it fairly wadable In the area your describing?
  2. I'm mostly a mountain stream fly angler, but I'm curious, are there are any wadable streams/rivers in southern NH that hold decent numbers of smallmouth bass? I don't want anyone to spot burn, but just general river info is helpful. I realize the merrimack and CT rivers have them, and a number of lakes, but I am limited to wading currently. Thanks for any help!
  3. First of all, I'm not a guru on the grain weights, but I believe that is the equivalent of a 9 weight. For a 10 weight rod, I would make sure to match it up. They do tend to over weight those lines, so you may be ok, but I've always gone with the recommended rod and line weight match. As for the line though, I had this exact line and it cracked on me super easily. I don't think I got a full season out of it. I've since switched to scientific anglers
  4. if it says "farm" anywhere on it you should just assume it is not worth eating anyway. No matter where it is from and for various reasons
  5. Tuna is one of the worst species out there to consume due to mercury etc and yet they are probably the most popular fish in the world for consumption. I don't think it will make a difference but one can hope.
  6. thanks for everyone that posted, I did manage to tie a few flies to take down with me and had some success but ironically mostly with tarpon. I don't have pics because I left the fly down south but it was a black and purple baitfish pattern and we had about 3-4 hookups on Tarpon. Too bad the line slipped out of my hands and the fish had too much slack and got off but there was a lot of tarpon action in the morning. My wife did catch a redfish but not on one i tied. I managed to land a couple black drum on the fly which apparently isn't that common, haha. all in all it was a success but I didn't get the red I wanted. oh well.
  7. nice fly I will tie something like it today, thank you
  8. thanks, we do have a guide booked so I'm sure we'll have a chance.
  9. fluoro is known for sinking more than mono so I would start with mono and since you're targeting sunfish I would go light to keep it from dragging the popper down. No need for a long leader either
  10. when i go in the rain I just get wet. Man, my luck is crap
  11. I thought that was an odd comparison too. Maybe more like a barracuda haha. A permit comp would be carp if you go fresh water, very spooky fish.
  12. well, I've never fished there before but I booked a guide down there. I do know that Redfish can be caught year round and Tarpon are usually best around now. If you fish for stripers I would think many of the same approaches will work with Redfish as well. I do know that the grass flats are a popular spot to get them while they are feeding on the bottom and "tailing" but they can be had in the surf too. I will try to post any results when we get back!
