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?

Hello, I want to purchase my first fly rod and reel. I have no clue what to buy or how much to spend. I found a used Orvis rod and reel set. They have never been used. Seller is asking $335 for both. I know Orvis is a high end brand but is this worth it? No clue how old these items are and how...

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...

Hey all, I'm very new to fly fishing, I've recently ordered a 8ft 6wt outfit off of amazon, it comes with fly line and tippet, however it doesn't come with backer line. As I don't live close to any major retailers who would sell fly fishing gear I would like to know if I could use 8 pound...

Finally pike season is here. I wanted to try something new and give fly fishing a try. It didnt take to long or me to realize that streamers are an extremely effective way to catch pike! Catching them on the fly was so different, but so much fun to do. for me, the best colour combo was white...

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...

Hello All, I was wondering if there are any tenkara fishers in the GTA who would be willing to teach a new dog some tricks? I purchased a tenkara rod last month and would love to learn some of the techniques, know hows, etc. from some people. Thanks, Ryan

Hi, me and my wife had a chance to win the 3 sectors in the Ste Anne river, Gaspesia , Quebec. 14 salmons in 7 days. We had a wonderful time. The flies we made were ok and the strategy ok too.... and indeed the luck ... all the best .. just search on : saumon ste-anne on...

As we're entering what is typically the quietest time on the rivers I thought I'd start a thread on the potential strategies, tackle and rewards for those who brave the nasty weather. Let's hope we continue to see mild temps and that reasonable opportunities to fish stick around for a while...

Hey guys, I have had some trouble this fall finding some steelhead/browns, I've been east will little luck. Was wondering if there has been any luck as of lately around these areas or if there are other locations I should give a try?

I am now another year older, and some would say wiser. Having to work on my actual birthday yesterday, I was up bright and early with my fly rod in hand and headed down to my local waters. There were very few people around, which made things rather enjoyable, after a little walking, I found...
