I’m on board, but only if we can get a ROK-caddis preorder.

Jk. I’d be good for at least 1 fat browntrout post per month

Whats the Tikka of the fly rod world? Whats the SWFA, Maven, and Nightforce equivalent for reels?

I don’t know about that, I make terrible financial decisions when it comes to fly rods.

Musky on a fly is a goal for sure. I currently have the saltwater bug but I’ll want to chase the freshwater toothy critters at some point.

The saltwater bug is real, living in Alaska I don’t get to do as much of it but once or twice a year I get to. For 2026 the salt water trips are Campeche and Belize.

I got a Muskie on a fly like 10 years ago, trophy pike are a lot of fun too.

Would they add the men seeking men sub forum under the fly fishing forum or a fly fishing sub forum under a men seeking men forum? Seems you couldn’t have one without the other…

You know the hardest part of fly fishing isn’t catching a fish or mending a line, it’s telling your family that you’re gay.

My buddy got me started on fly fishing about 8yrs ago. I love it! This is my biggest brown I’ve caught.

Holbox was my favorite trip of 2025. Belize is somewhat likely for 2026.

I haven't fished holbox but it on my list. It’s so close to Cancun it would be easy to hit. I did fish ascension bay 2 summers ago which was like 2-3 hours from Cancun, it was awesome. It was a great value and the location was good. The only complaint I have and it’s not a big deal is how small the bonefish are there, I caught like 25 of them and the biggest was probably 4lbs. The whole time I was wonder why the bell people use 8wt rods for those.

When fished for bonefish in Hawaii I could believe how much bigger and faster those ones were. I landed one that was like 12lbs and lost bigger ones.

12+ lb bonefish is huge. Can't imagine how loud your drag was screaming.

Just start up a new forum called WatRSlide

Yeah it's wild, especially when your only prior bonefish experience was on small 2-4lb Carirbean ones. After fishing for bigger bonefish a couple of times, the next time I was in Mexico I Tod the guide I didn't even want to cast at bonefish, I told him to just look for permit and tarpon. Those ones in the carribean are cool fish but they are like 18" long, they don't even hardly hit the drag.

The first one I hooked in hawaii, I didn't let go of my line fast enough and it bent the hook and got away.

The same argument can be made for hunting. Yet rokslide continues to survive. Reality is there isn’t much to spot burn at this point anyway. You can find it if you look hard enough. And the big ones like Yellowstone or gunnison aren’t exactly secrets, although some like to pretend they are

Significantly more people fish than hunt. CO sells over 900k fishing licenses annually v. roughly 300k hunters. There is no secret water out here, but people posting about less pressured water certainly is not going to help. That’s why RS doesn’t allow talking about specific units. I know of at least 3-4 high alpine lakes in CO that were hog pens until some bozo posted them online, and now they’re shot.

The FB groups have been effectively wiping out high country lakes since Covid. What a dumb idea to pay half the country to go camping. Zuckerberg doesn’t give two two craps what his platform does to people between the scams, out of control groups, and magnifying misinformation. It has helped people to stop using common sense, get old high school friends laid, and that’s about it. Russia loving low life. Hope he gets a big barbed salmon fly in his eyelid.

As for discussing fly fishing I thought that’s what we’ve been doing in the general forum.
