Now to pick where and when. I'll probably be in MI in May at Newaygo
on the Muskegon.


You need to be in MI in June on the Manistee, in front of my river boat.

I was giving some thought to just what I'd gotten from a couple years of
fairly frequent visits to roff.

Thought I'd pass on the information.

(1) Encouragement to try a particular Idaho stream that I knew about, and
had seen, but had never fished ... thanks Russell
(2) Ott-Lite(s) ...I had never heard of them until rofft ... we have three
in the house now ... if you tie, buy one ( if you don't tie, start ...
nothing improves one's fly fishing as much as the information one gains as a
byproduct of tying )
(3) A modified rod grip that makes it comfortable to hold one's hand much
farther back than the "stock" version ... thanks Mike Connor
(4) Tippet rings ... just starting to experiment with these, but by using
Pitzen knots one can obtain very near 100% tippet strength as well as
several other big advantages ... thanks again Mike

That's it .... off hand I can't remember anything else I've found on roff
that has improved my fly fishing .... what specific things have others
learned here ? ( yeah, about fly fishing )



Quite welcome, Larry. Though it didn't appear on ROFF, your eloquent
description, on your web page, of driving into the valley that cradles
that stream was a beautiful reminder to me of one of the many reasons
why I love that place so.

Before ROFF, I was quite content with my one rod and two reels. I have
since bought three more rods and was the unworthy recipient of another.
I plan on adding at least another soon. I've also added 4 more reels.
Innocence was much less expensive.

I, too, picked up an Ott-Lite of which I learned here. Now I just need
to start tying. I have been tying my own leaders with great success.

I learned about CF fly boxes which to me are perfect.

I think I hang around here as much as I do because ROFF is almost daily
good for a good laugh.

Peter, I am planning to retire in two years. Until then it's going to be tough
for me to get out of New England. But then again, you never know....

Er ... are you suggesting that thanks to ROFF, you got to share a
warm bed with your guide for the weekend?

(Not that there's anything wrong with that.)

I'm not sure I can adequately express what I've learned from ROFF in
terms of places to fish, fishing techniques, gear, tying techniques,
etc., so I'll just offer this one observation:

No matter how much of an asshole you are on ROFF, if you travel to
another ROFFian's home river, he/she will do everything within his/her
power to make sure you have a great experience.
