Muskie on the Fly

esoxrube — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:58:39 +0000

a new flyfishing book for muskies by Robert Tomes, published by Wild River Press

By esoxrube

Few fish inspire the single-minded obsession, total dedication, and physical stamina it takes to catch the mighty muskellunge on a fly rod. Known universally as “the fish of 10,000 casts,” this giant freshwater predator grows to lengths of 50 inches and weights of 40 pounds. It is one of the toughest fish to fool on any kind of gear.

What muskie anglers are saying about Muskie on the Fly

This is a big, handsome book that makes sense of
an arcane subject. I’ve done just enough muskie
fishing with a fly rod to know that the information
here rings true.
John Gierach
Author of the classic Trout Bum (1986) and 14 other
best-selling books of essays on the fly-fishing passion
Lyons, Colorado

Having seen a muskie slash off a weed line on Webster
Lake to take a streamer author Robert Tomes was
casting, I am now a believer. But not everybody has
the opportunity to see the thrilling take in person.
Guiding readers through the culture of muskie fishing,
then enticing them into the subculture of fly fishing
for the fabled freshwater predator is Tomes’s gift in
Muskie on the Fly. He demystifies muskie fishing in
general and builds a case why fly fishing is at times
a better option. And he does it by combing basics—
flies, rods, lines, approaches, waters, guides—with
personal experiences and guide tales that is a hybrid
rare in the outdoor press. I have faith: This is a
fishing bible.
Dale Bowman
Chicago Sun Times Outdoor Editor
Chicago, Illinios

Muskie on the Fly will attract adventurous fly fishers
to the pursuit of the muskellunge and cause traditional-
gear muskie fishers to take up the fly rod.
With great detail on the species, great fly patterns
for the chase, detailed instructions on technique,
and color illustrations and photographs throughout,
Robert Tomes leaves out nothing of importance.
Larry Ramsell
Renowned muskie-fishing expert and author of A
Compendium of Muskie Angling History (2007)
Hayward, Wisconsin

At long last—a book that deals with this exciting
and often overlooked game fish. Guru Tomes knows
how to tackle this legendary fish of 10,000 casts
and now he shares his secrets with us. Muskie on
the Fly will shorten your learning curve. Whether
you chase muskies with a fly or conventional gear,
this book is a must!

2007 Year End Review Fly Fishing WV and Beyond

miloshthefisherman — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 20:38:21 +0000

95% of the shots were taken in West Virginia. The other 5% were shot in Pennsylvania, Virginia, and New York. West Virginia is truly “Almost Heaven” for those of you have never visited the mountain state. I offer year round guiding for all species in the southern part of WV. Feel free to contact me if your interested in a trip that you’ll never forget! More videos like this one will be on their way in the following months. Tight loops and enjoy, Milosh

Simms G3 Waders

admin — Sat, 16 Aug 2008 21:24:47 +0000

What I have always loved about Simms products is the fact that they go out into the real world and ask guides and dealers what would make their products better.

Recently updated as of September 2007 the new Simms G3 sport a high-tech GORE-TEX Pro Shell – its supposed to be tougher and more breatheable than the older GORE-TEX shell. How tough you ask? Well in the immersion test they simply stopped at the 544 hour mark. Other brands started failing after 2 hours right on up to 100 hours. With that being said they also have the 5 layer fabric covering the legs and butt. Now simms has you covered! The rest of the fabric is a nice 3 layer material. I was concerned about the extra layering and how comfortable it would be to kneel down or even bend your knees. With the stitching along the front and back it is actually quite surprising how comfortable movement is. These are truly high performance waders. I have to say after one afternoon wearing these waders that these are some of the best waders available dollar for dollar. They are comfortable for all day wear and come with some really cool bonuses as well. The chest pocket has hand covers that are fleecy and warm on the inside, flip out tippet tender and retractable clip, Deet and saltwater resistant, nice gravel guards and feet material. I have to say the contruction is also top notch.

Simms Warranty:

The “Simms Warranty” is administrated entirely by Simms

The Simms warranty is also very good. Workmanship and materials are Guaranteed for the life of the product – of course this doesn’t cover the normal things like accidents, improper care and normal wear and tear.

30 day across the counter warranty exchange – this is a great reason to go buy them and fish the hell out of them right when you get them.

Now here is the best one the first repair is on Simms – if they are damaged in an accident within the first year. Who else does that?

All in all some of the best days of my life have been spent wearing Simms waders – thank you guys keep up the good work.
