saw an old guy yesterday with a fly rod about 6 and half feet or maybe 7 feet long. he had some mono tied on the fly line…only about 3 feet. no tippet. then on the mono “leader” he had a very little brass hook like a salmon egg hook. He smashed bread on the hook and was fly casting, but only about 10 feet literally right in front of his feet. he was fishing on the shore at a little pool on the river that had small bass and perch…. he was catching left right and center. when the bread got soggy and fell of, he’d just put some more on….. never saw anything like it!

I am going to the Hiwassee soon with some friends. They don’t fly fish, and they dont have enough time to learn. Will they be able to attract trout with a zebco?

I am a new comer to flyfishing and i thought i would take advantage of 1/4 walk through the woods to the Squanacook River. I got a fly rod when i was younger, a cheap shakespeare 1094 combo. i do now intend to go over board just yet on a new reel. I have rigged my rod and reel up but have yet to choose a fly… and suggestions? The squanacook where i am going to fish is at http://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4ADBS_enUS278US278&hl=en&tab=wl thank for answers

A few friends are going fly-fishing in Tennessee but need a good location to go. Wild trout streams would be great but will consider a stocked stream. We are also taking the families so a few will want other daytime activities. We will be doing a self-guided fishing trip, will be camping but have thought of a cabin if available. Maybe 10 people total with two kids. I have need to fight a wild trout on a hand tied fly.
