feeds@yuku.com (scott bearden) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 09:19:24 GMT

Hello everybody,

Mark Wendt normally organizes this, and in an effort to help him out I offered to help out this year. It is that time again for the yearly announcement for the annual FYAO. 2010 marks the 9th year we've been meeting up on New Years day to do a little fishing and a lot of socializing. The format remains the same this year, as it has in the past.

We'll be holding our 9th Annual FYAO (Freeze Yer Arse Off) fishing day on January 1, 2010 at the...

This has been a long time coming.

Enjoy,

NEW WORLD RECORD BROWN TROUT!!!!!

feeds@yuku.com (Salmosalar) — Thu, 10 Sep 2009 21:12:59 GMT

Ladies and Gentlemen;

I just heard the news and it seems that Michigan is not only home to many talented bamboo rod makers and many superb fly anglers but we also have tentative WORLD RECORD BROWN TROUT!!!

The angler was using a fly rod (I don't know what it was made out of, but we can always hope) and the monster was hooked on a fly. The behemoth was caught in the Manistee...

DO WE WANT THIS FORUM TO THRIVE?

feeds@yuku.com (Joe Arguello) — Sat, 22 Aug 2009 08:20:25 GMT

All;
Dave did a great job of setting this forum up so that we could all have a place to visit and post items pertainting to our common passion. You are not restricted very much and posts don't get edited or deleted just because someone doesn't agree with your point of view. What is required is some participation on everyone's part. I know that we all get busy and have life in general to deal with, but we can all find time to stop in and say hi from time to time. I see that we...

The 5th Annual Cuttie-thon is about to begin!

feeds@yuku.com (Curley) — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:40:55 GMT

Well, I leave the evening of Aug. 10th, from western Montana and head for NW Wyoming, to Jackson Hole, then on to find camp and the starting line on the Greys River, to begin the 5th annual Cuttie-thon. For those who haven't heard of the event, you can read a bit about it at: http://www.cuttiethon.org, but briefly, it is a true fly-fishing marathon where participants fish by wading upstream for a minimum of 26.2...

All;
I am not sure how to put this but I believe in the power of prayer, My wife has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer and though this type of cancer has a very high servival rate the concern is that it was caught in time. There are many things in life I can do without but my wife is not one of them. Please if you do such a thing can you please say a prayer for her?
Thank you.

No, it's not a law firm! John, AK, Ed, & Todd have all registered to come to the Colorado Cane Conclave. So bring your books because they've all graciously agreed to sign your books, no matter the condition. The more road wear and dog-eared pages the better! And for those of you who haven't gotten your copy of Colorado Trout Flies, Todd said that he will bring a signed stack for sale. John, AK, & Ed said that they would be...

Intro

feeds@yuku.com (fyshstix) — Thu, 16 Apr 2009 07:15:22 GMT

I live in Colorado Springs and consider the South Platte and lower Arkansas home water. I'm pretty much a dry fly geek and prefer to pursue the locals from the topside year-round. Enjoy getting out to the smaller, obscure creeks in the summer, waiting for just the right time to lay that Adams or BWO in front of that sneaky Brown or Bow just off the bank. An apprentice to the sport, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to hone my skills with my mix of rods and good friends. May there be...

Hi everyone, my name is Bill Carter and I live in western Massachussetts. I have been building cane rods now for twelve years. I'm a self taught maker having used books by the likes of Wayne Cattanach, George Maurer, and Claude Kreider to pick up the basics. I became a full time rodmaker eight years ago when I retired. To date, I have built just over one hundred rods and forty blanks. My favorite part is ferrule making as I love to experiment with both nickel silver and cane options. I...

Where are we?

This might have been asked before but I don't feel like digging through the past posts to find out.

It appears we have a few Colorado Front Range people participating on our forum.

So I'll start it off.
