Why?

Absolutely no action here for quite some time. I used to enjoy reading the post's here and the fly tying tips. Be nice to see some activity here. 

Greatness is not measured by what we have,
but by what we give. 
If I were to give our children but one thing, it would be the gift of euthusiam!

    All chased away because of the trump thread always being the top/only activity. There's another website that has banned political posting that you can learn about fly tying on.

    Excuse my ignorance but I don’t know where that would be. I know YouTube etc, but I kinda miss the way it used to be here. And some of the departed posters, double taper being one of many.☹️

    DT moved states, somewhere very south, if I recall correctly.

    The poster formally known as Duncsdad

    Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion.

    Thx.,.He had interesting stories about fly fishing in the Allegheny national forest. I believe he also had a blog. I can’t recall where.

    Looks like all  forums are dying not just fishusa. Most are all going to politics. Alot that I was on are gone  due to just politics posts. Surprised firshusa forums hasn’t shut down.

    Nice. What length/weight leaders do you like to use with those game changers? I've done a few around 2-2.5" that aren't terrible to cast with a 5wt.

    The flies come out around 5 to 7in.  I throw a 10wt. I run 20lb mono to a afw wire leader but am going to change to a 50lb or higher fluoro.  Think the Muskie are wire shy.  Been having problems where the mono attaches to the fly line so I might be changing the mono size but I think fly line is too cheap so I got Rio predator. Hoping that works and doesn’t snap when I get weight on it. 
    The mono length I’ll run about 8ft. The leader is about a foot or two.

     either. Looks like most of it has completely gone by the wayside!Submit Post Oh for the good ol' days!
