How 'bout them Ravens!

Sounds good! I think a trip to some Erie Tribs is in order for some steelhead I haven't ventured out of Central Pa with the fly rod yet... Penn's creek is too hard to leave

sphertz I got the Pflueger combo from Dicks ($49.99 i think?) It's decent for the price. It's one of those things that if you use it and never used anything else, it works great, but if you get your hands on a Sage or a GLoomis, you'll wish you had one of those The only things I hated about the Pflueger was the tippet and leader it came with. I ended up buying some Cortland leaders and a spool of 3 lb. flouro seaguar for my tippet. The flies it comes with are kind of cheaply made too, the wooly bugger in the pack is decent, but the rest of them fell apart after 2 or 3 trout... Ranting here, but that Pflueger makes an awesome river fly rod. I've caught carp on it with no issues either. Just get some wax or something to rub on the rod sections. Before I did that, it would fly apart after about an hour of casting. I put some wax on the ends and it's to the point now that I can't even get it apart with a struggle. Get that to start, then you can buy the more expensive or specialized set ups once you know you'll stick with it... but you will

LOL I have been schooled.... by a tike.... YES! Nice pic too!

I have seen some VERY odd names for flies, but Meat Whistle wins... If you want to get into this, try and get your hands on some rods before you commit. I personally use a pretty long, stiff rod (yeah, laugh it up) even on tiny creeks. Everyone else I fly fish with likes the shorter, faster action rods. Don't be intimidated by all the different lines and flies though. Get yourself a decent rod, some backing line, floating forward weighted line (make sure it gets on the reel the correct way ), a leader and some tippet (or just run a piece of mono for bass) and a hand full of poppers, wooly buggers and streamers and you'll be set

Don't know if it's just me or if it really helps, but I was experimenting with my Bomber suspending jerkbait the other week. I wondered why my Xrap was catching them and the Bomber was not. I added a dressed treble hook to the back of the Bomber... Success! Maybe that little extra subtle movement is all it needs. J's suggestion is probably what you need though. If they are getting that close to the bait, I think changing it up to a different bait will get em!

Does it keep itself current for you? When I had it, the notifications and such were hours off (sometimes even by a day) so I just switched to using the site. Arity - 3d graphing calculator Barcode Generator Catch - note taking app, also records GPS and you can take photos (good for keeping fish logs) it syncs on their site too. Cube Extended - I just got this music player and it seems pretty cool, I also use Museek (better for using it on Random and Smart Shuffle). Dolphin Browser HD - almost a must. Tabbed browsing and a lot of cool ad on's. A lot of people claim to have an issue with speed, but I don't. Google Earth Dropbox - Gives you 2GB of online space that you can access from any PC or your phone. Great for backups and files. If you sign up, PM me and I will give you a refferal link and you and myself will get 250 MB of extra space (they max out the free accounts at 8 GB.) Glyder 2 - (get the free one) a fun game to kill time with, you just fly around and collect things... Guns'n'Glory - another free game. You set up cowboys and other western like people and shoot at settlers that come through canyons (it's similar to a Real Time Strategy game, just try it, it's fun). Key Ring - Keeps all of my club cards in my phone and they can scan the barcodes off the screen. Listen - Podcast's Live TV - Flaky, but you can watch some major networks on your phone. Pretty cool (when it works). My Maps Editor - Very awesome app for mapping out lakes and other things. It's basically google maps, but you can draw on it and add notes then save the link and share it with others (I map structure and fish with it). Pandora - Online music player, I think you all know what it is. RemoteDroid - Use your phone as a wireless keyboard and mouse. Works great (I use it when I watch movies from my PC to my TV) It uses a WiFi connection, all you do is install the PC software, enter the IP it gives you into the phone and it's done! TeslaLED - Uses the camera flash for a flashlight Thinking Space - 'Mind Mapping' software. I use it to brainstorm ideas or keep lengthy notes. TweetCaster - I use it to update twitter and FB in 1 shot. Works better than the twitter app HA. And the most important app: Wilford Brimley Soundboard! HA

That's a nice one! She should tie a frog pattern, mice pattern's seem to work well, I'm sure she could create some kind of frog with foam?

soccplayer - Droid's, I have the X and I think nick decided on the Fascinate (right? ha) either has good cameras. O H I O - Thanks! He may be a dink, but he is a sign of reproduction, so that's good String - Nice Photo! J - sounds good, I always catch the dinks, I have horrible fly presentation There were 20"+ brown's surfacing but they didn't want my fly (I think they were eating midges, and of course, I had none). Caught him on a BWO size 20. Here is where the dink was caught... Right at sunrise:

I do and a lot of other people do too For trout, I usually use a tapered leader (goes from 7 lb test to 4lb.) and then I use a 3 foot piece of 3lb test (they call it tippet). You use that so you don't have to keep replacing leaders. For bass, I just tie a 6lb. piece of mono onto my fly line and don't worry about the leader. I use pretty much the same lures for bass or trout (wooly buggers, crawfish, etc...) They will even hit the bigger dry flies (size 8 and bigger). Poppers are really fun to throw for bass on a fly rod, once you catch a smallie on a fly rod, you'll be hooked for life. A fight with anything on a fly rod is like fighting a monster

I used to love MW... I sold my xbox a few weeks ago because it didn't get played much. The only game I was excited for was gears 3. I have too much gear swag great series and the books/comics are a good read.

Sweet! They take great pics and awesome video. No excuses now, you'll always have a camera ha That fish broke the net...

Caught this giant this morning... He really stressed that 2lb. test tippet:

I'll do all three until the end of the month. I think MTV and the new york stock exchange are doing a similar grant, maybe she could look into that too. I think it's called "movers and shapers"...

You have to remember it's guys like bassclary that keep this place active. Yeah he posts alot but alot of his posts are legit.

Nickelback is the winner... loser! Terrible music, terrible lyrics, (something in your mouth), terrible hair...

Hey it took me awhile to hit 1000 and I tried to make each post meaningful... Until I started posting in the off topic threads, then it was all downhill from there! I need something to do at work!

As long as it's newer wiring then yes youre correct. I have a few switches in my house that have the black (hot) and white (neutral) on the switch (technically it goes hot after it leaves the switch). Im not sure why they do it like that sometimes. I'm no electrician but my boss is (he is also my landlord ha) so I've been working on this house and he has been teaching me wiring. Look at another switch in your house to be sure, usually they are the same (usually!) Try this, it may be more clear: http://www.indepthinfo.com/wire-switch/

Jay I saved my 1000th post for you buddy! Ya dirty New Yorker... I'm just kidding, Jays clean... I think? Either way Congrats on the mod position and for being my 1000th post (he will delete this and I'll be stuck at 999)

Marty your right. Windows will remember the size of windows opened. Just drag the next one out to what size you want, close it and all others should open that size. See Marty you're a jr. geek

Ah thanks for the explanation. Dave, I want to see the action on that lure.

They aren't around anymore HA! Only 2 of the members are still in bands, both of which are just local acts. I only play for myself now, I had my time and got to play a lot of great places (all in PA though). We used to play with a local act called "The Grimm", man they were odd. They used to throw tampons, starburst and other random stuff into the crowd... Nice guys though, just... odd...

I haven't been to many, but I have a few that cannot be topped. 1st - I saw Atreyu and CKY at the Crowbar (it's a small bar that used to be in State College). CKY was boring, all they did was talk, but Atreyu rocked! 2nd - Deftones, Breaking Benjamin, Cold and Dredg at the Bryce Jordan Center. Deftones played FOREVER and it was awesome. All the bands played their best that night. On a completely unrelated side note... I was in a band once and I had to quit due to my work schedule. Two weeks after I quit, they opened for Breaking Benjamin... I was a sad panda for weeks after that!

That's what she said ;D Yeah, I set someone up for that one. You're not old enough to know about that stuff boy! But seriously though, I had a dremel, paid $100 for a kit close to this one... After a year, it only works on 3 speeds... I know guys that have had this grizzly one for years and it's only 33 dollars...
