    Fly fishing question

    Just got a 5wt fly outfit, BPS brand, nothing special. Is this a good all around fly rod size? I'm obviously not going to be catching any BEASTS on it, but want to know my limits. Also, I have an older fly rod and don't know the weight of it, how can I tell?

    Hi everyone, So in my attempts at getting to know an Ontario river this season, I have fished multiple sections of it over multiple outings with varying degrees of success. It is hard to find time to go fishing, but when I do, I pack a lunch and stay for most of the day. Slowly exploring...

    Steelhead on 6-weight?

    Is a 6-weight fly rod enough for steelhead? Most of the fishing I do is in smaller streams so its not too deep but it can be snaggy at times. Is a 9-foot 6 weight enough or should I upgrade to a 7 or 8 weight rod?

    Hi, everyone. In order to save a lot of time "running around" that could be better spent fishing, would appreciate it if OFF members could kindly suggest shops in Toronto that sell (bead head) wooly buggers in sizes 16 to 12. Not very small a size for flies in general, I know, but tried a...

    On the fly from Toronto

    Happy to be joining the forum! Reviewing some of the existing forums this sure is a great resource. I fly fish for the most part now but my roots go back to plenty of spin casting, bait casting, and of course the immortal worm off the dock or row boat. A day fishing is a great day any way you...
