Interest in a fly fishing forum section?

Hunting and fishing go hand in hand. Blast and cast. I'm in.

Several online shops will give you free shipping and a free line of your choice with a rod purchase, often reds fly shop give any line you want with any rod over 595.00

I use to get any free line if I bought a rod + reel combo from Big Y fly fishing. It was sweet I would get a rod + reel for like $400 and could choose a $100 line

Count me in. I would love to see a fly fishing section in the forums.

Same here. I wouldn't mind a section on here for fly fishing. I just started last year and have been enjoying it so far.

Haha, flyfishing gear... I just ordered some stuff from Maxcatch to see how it was, sort of a joke and sort of curious. My world view may never be the same.

Ok I’ll play. High alpine/backcountry fishing has been a passion of mine since childhood. I learned to fly fish on mountain creeks/rivers, and translated that into the alpine stillwater by high school. For many years I used both spin gear and fly rods, until I realized I was packing gear around for days that never was getting used because I could be more consistently productive with the fly rod (especially on trophy size fish). Many years of fly/technique development, learning fisheries biology, timing, research, ect later, I don’t even own spin gear anymore. As soon as spring bear is wrapped up, I’m loading up the backpack to chase these big beauties. It’s a lot like hunting in many ways…

As far as a fly fishing (or fishing in general) section of Rokslide, that’d be a lot. Could easily be its own separate forum. There’s so many places, species, techniques…I can think of a dozen sub forums off the top of my head. Something specific to western backcountry (keeping in line with the rest of Rokslide) might be manageable.

Are those wild fish or stocked?

Most of those ones are wild…all six of the big male west slope cutties, the golden, and the brookie. The hen west slope cuttie and the big YCT were stockers. Truly self sustaining natural reprod high alpine lakes are pretty rare but they do exits. Most are a blend of some limited repro, supplemented by stocking efforts, typically by helicopter. Many have zero suitable spawning structure and are 100% reliant on stocking. Funny enough in many cases the wind action on certain shoreline structures creates enough movement for limited reprod even when there isn’t a suitable inlet/outlet creek environment.

Undisclosed, overgrown small creek in southern Colorado. Any chance these are true greenbacks?

Southern CO? Not greenbacks. Greenbacks are native to the eastern slope of the front range. They look like they might be Rio’s with the heavy spot pattern on their tail and back half.

Looking at the dispersion map, it was solidly in the Rio Grande cutthroat territory, thanks for the ID

I think a general fishing forum would be cool. All sorts of fishing. Even spearfishing and crab potting. We could call it The Wet Spot.

Or maybe Waterslide?
