QUESTION:
Most basic cheap fly fishing rod reel kit maybe?
I know they will be like shit. My friends and bro's are all 400-600 dollar setups.

I fly fished growing up so i still got it all down pat. I just can't afford. You all know what i mean unfortunatly.

separate reel and rod? or kit? I really don't mind its goodness. only putting 130 down on something cheap.

something at dicks sporting goods or dunhams perhaps? I can't order from orvis or get something great like that at cabellas either too expensive. sportsmans warehouse is gone.
thanks buds !

• ANSWER:
  Nah, I think you're wrong about Cabela's:

  http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?_DARGS=/cabelas/en/common/catalog/item-link.jsp_A&_DAV=MainCatcat20431-cat604907_TGP&id=0079732320440a&navCount=1&podId=0079732&parentId=cat604907&masterpathid=&navAction=push&catalogCode=IA&rid=&parentType=index&indexId=cat601233&hasJS=true

  Seems like they have been experimenting with this Three Forks/Prestige combo for a while now -- changing it up with different reels and stuff, changing the price around. Lots of sporting goods companies have been trying to get under that 0 threshold and sell combos to people who don't have much to spend on fly gear. This one's definitely not a 0 Orvis, but if you know what you're doing like you say you do, you can fish through its weaknesses and I'm sure you'll catch fish with it.

  With 0, you could get that combo and even pay the shipping. I have seen similar combos and they seem okay, and by that I mean they won't fall apart on you on the first trip or anything like that. I have thought about getting one of those Cabela's 3 weight rods as an emergency back-up rod.

QUESTION:
Fly fishing reels?
This may seem like a dumb question for all you fly fishing guys out there, but after years of fishing with spinning, bait casters and even spincast when I was a wee lad, I finally got myself a cheap fly outfit...The question I have is, that this reel is a click drag set up, but do I have to mount it right hand retreive or can I mount it left hand? It turns and clicks both ways...help me out guys.

Thanks in advance

• ANSWER:
  OK this is simple, but since your just starting out its not so easy. Many fly reels have a ratchet type clicker and its often on reels intended for left hand wind, the ones with ratchet clickers on both line in and out are mostly for right handed users but they can be converted to left, unless your retrieving the fish with the reel the retrieving side makes very little difference, if it bothers you move to a reel such as he airflo c8 as this will only "click" when line is being taken out, often reels that sound both ways are made by leeda, and are cassette reels, the LC 100 is one of them. One last thing is if your worried that you cant change the retrieve side you can simply turn the reel you have at the minute round so that the line guard faces forwards, many of them have a double line guard now for tool-less changing.

QUESTION:
where can I get a cheap fly rod and reel combo?

  I hate fly fishing but dicks sporting good has em and craigslist

QUESTION:
got any good fly rods that you know of. help?
im going on the ocean and i only got a cheap fly reel and rod
im fishing for toge bass and salmon

• ANSWER:
  What are you fishing for???

  Redington. In a 8wt to 10wt, it really depends on what you fishing for. Redington is actually fairly moderate in price and offers excellent quality.

  I would go with a sinking line with a shooting head.

  Do not go without a stripping basket. You will find you are walking all over your line if not.

  Be sure and remember the leaders need to be tough to tolerate saltwater fish (teeth).

  Have fun!

QUESTION:
Importance of fly fishing reel? good vs.bad?
I mean comparing it too a cheap one and a great one.

What is it that makes a good fly fishing reel better than a cheap one. What do they do differently?

• ANSWER:
  The main differences are the drag systems, the materials used, and the fit and finish of the machining process.

  Cheaper reels will lack or have a very limited drag system. This is a hindrance if you are fishing for steelhead, bonefish, or other large fish that make long runs.

  I've seen reels made out of all kinds of materials. Ones machined out of a solid stock of aviation grade billet aluminum offer both light weight and high strength. Abel reels are a great example of this.

  Likewise, some manufactures use parts made by poor tools. They don"t fit together well. When this occurs the parts don't act as a single unit, but as a grouping of poorly assembled individual pieces.

  All that said, I can't afford a 0 Abel. I make due with a couple Pflueger Presidentials. Not the best, but also not the worst.

QUESTION:
Are there pop-up ice fishing shelters that can hook together?
Like if I buy a "Clam Fish Trap Yukon TC Portable Shelter" can I connect that to a "Clam Prospector Hub Style Shelter"? It doesn't have to be Clam brand, but are there shelters similar that I can connect?

• ANSWER:
  I hook my clam up to a shappel or any other shanty. Just face opposite directions and fold the doors inside eah others shanty. There is a small gap due to his shanty is about 2ft taller than mine. But nothin the heater buddy won't fix. Ran off propane by the way.....lol so if it's the same basic shape you can better than if it's different but you still can. we usually will hook 8 or more shantys in this fashion.....great times . They also make 6 to 8 man shantys look up 8 man shantys ....awsome hope this helps

QUESTION:
Can anyone provide me good matter on "ICE FISHING SHELTERS"?

• ANSWER:
  Well, for a temporary shelter you can just use a tent. Some tents are designed with insulated bottom pads for ice and a few even have a cut out for fishing. See LLBean, EMS, REI, Sports Chalet, etc. for options.

  A more permanent shelter can be made from wood, or insulated plastic. Many peopel have successfully used the Rubbermaid outdoor storage sheds. These are designed to store lawn ghear, but are light enough to be hauled to remote sites and assemble easily and are easy to cut out openings. Because of the insulated plastic they do make life a little more fun inside.

  Or go old school and make an ice/snow shelter.

QUESTION:
I need opinions on the eastman ice cube and nature vision pack shack ice fishing shelters.?
Durability, ease of set up, how they handle wind, portability etc.?

• ANSWER:
  Out of the two i would go for the eastman ice cube as its a bit more sturdy and durable than the pack shack, which are probably the two most important things you want in a shelter. The pack shack is lighter in weight than the ice cube and is easyer to carry round, but i would go for the ice cube as its a better quality product overall.

QUESTION:
ice fishing shacks?
What is the fastest, easiest to set up ice fishing shelters out there? I am, looking for a 2 man shelter. Thanks

• ANSWER:
  The Clam line of portable ice shacks are pretty nice. Most can be set up within a few minutes. the metal poles have bungees connecting them so they just need to be put together and stood up to stretch the canvas. It usually takes longer to drill holes than put up the shack, even with a power auger.

QUESTION:
Plans for a portable 2 man ice fishing shelter?
I want to build a portable 2 man ice fishing shelter, i have already had two different clam models, and one lasted two uses, and the other lasted one. their quality is subpar , and i would like to build my own so if something goes wrong, i know who to blame.

I dont want to pay for plans, so please dont give me links to websites with that purpose.
one was the the square tent like one, and the poles snapped on it the second use, the other one was the clam 2000 and the hole cover door,cracked and broke, and the zippers on both sides seperated, and will not seal shut now, and this was on the first use. either clam has some quality issues, or i might just be unlucky

• ANSWER:
  What happened to your clams? I've always wanted one of them. I've pondered this myself and I've never had any good ideas on how to build one though. I've seen people use two poles with a tarp in between but it's just a wind block. I've seen people use tent's but you have to anchor them down which makes them not as portable as a clam. If I can have one of your clams, I'll fix the other one for you. There is another brand something like "fish trap" not sure exactly but maybe the other brand is more durable. I know how to make a nice permanent shanty but they're not easily moved. I hope someone on here has a better answer. Good question.

QUESTION:
what are those audio devices inside toys that talk or play music...?
you know thos things that talk or play a songs when u press the button(like that singing fish everyone loves), what is that callled and where can i buy my own with my own song stores in it- i have a new product idea..? thanks

go Jets! welcome Mark Sanchez

• ANSWER:
  You maybe able to get them real cheap imported from overseas in large quantities if you plan to do business. Recording on them and putting them in toys manually is not practical unless you just want to try a few for marketing research. It maybe better to have them custom made overseas the way you want them where labor is cheaper, and you can compete with other toys like that. They are small digital recorders that record maybe 15 to 30 seconds of sound. The sound stay there untill erased even if the power is removed.

QUESTION:
Where can I find the German version of "You are my sunshine"?
I want to do something really special for my girl, and she's German, so I figured singing this song in German would be appropriate.

Does anyone know where I can find accurate lyrics (no free translation or babble fish stuff) and possibly an audio version of the song?

• ANSWER:
  Can't find it in German...it might not exist.
  Here are the English Lyrics:

  The other night dear, as I lay sleeping
  I dreamed I held you in my arms
  But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
  So I hung my head and I cried.

  You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
  You make me happy when skies are gray
  You'll never know dear, how much I love you
  Please don't take my sunshine away

  I'll always love you and make you happy,
  If you will only say the same.
  But if you leave me and love another,
  You'll regret it all some day:

  You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
  You make me happy when skies are gray
  You'll never know dear, how much I love you
  Please don't take my sunshine away

  You told me once, dear, you really loved me
  And no one else could come between.
  But not you've left me and love another;
  You have shattered all of my dreams:

  You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
  You make me happy when skies are gray
  You'll never know dear, how much I love you
  Please don't take my sunshine away

  In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me
  When I awake my poor heart pains.
  So when you come back and make me happy
  I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame.

  You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
  You make me happy when skies are gray
  You'll never know dear, how much I love you
  Please don't take my sunshine away

QUESTION:
Help with 7 grade advanced math problems?
1. Two angles are complementary.
Three times one angle is 30 degrees than
twice the other. Find the larger angle.

2. The radius of a cirle that has a circumference
equal to the perimeter of a hexagon whose sides are
each 22 inches long is closest in length to
which of the following?
a. 7
b. 14
c. 21
d. 24
e. 28

• ANSWER:
  1]

  [ Since question isnt proper we consider
  Three times one angle is 30 degrees MORE than
  twice the other. Find the larger angle. ]
  Let the angles be A and B
  Angles are complementary
  Hence

  A + B = 90 degrees ----> (1)
  Three times one angle is 30 degrees larger than twice the other

  Hence

  3A - 2B = 30 degrees ------> (2)

  Multiply equation (1) with 2 throught

  22 + 2B = 180 ----> (3)

  ADD (3) & (2) and you get

  (3A + 2A ) + ( - 2B + 2B ) = 180 + 90

  5A = 270
  A = 54

  And A + B = 90
  hence B = 90 - 54 = 46

  Hence bigger angle is 54 degrees

  2 ]

  Each side of heaxgon = 22 inches
  Hence perimeter = 22 x 6 = 132 inches

  Circumference of circle = perimeter of hexagon
  Hence, 2 * 3.14 * Radius = 132
  Hence, Radius = 132 / ( 3.14 * 2 )
  Radius = 21 Inches

QUESTION:
What do you think of this theory?
The wind is the lack of air movement not the movement of it. There should always be a slight breeze, as the atmosphere follows a spinning earth, but it tilts different angles, along its eliptical orbit, the mountains/buildings push and the temperature of the ocean, causing warm rising swirls that become hurricanes/tornadoes... it seems an intellegent species on this same senario of planet, would have solar powered refrigeration units off the Carribean, so those swirls, would not even happen in the first place. Also a computer simulation of our "topgraphy's influenence" according to different angles/times.Refined correlation of data would advance predictability. Structures then placed at certain locations to smooth/cancel negative functioning results. Earth perpetually in a pleasant state, as we evolve into a "Team Human" populate the universe, logical best possibility chance for realization of existence experience as human, since we are recycled back into it, lets all stop the stupid.
we were able to plan and fix the Hubble telescope in space, yet seemingly logical and simple solutions completely escape us. In AZ there are thunderhead clouds overhead on the way to spill on a flooding Texas, yet if there was a bulliten telling everyone in Arizona (so dry in winter, a dust storm yet humid) to turn on their sprinkler systems, the added humidity would rise up and spill those clouds where its needed instead of the sit on hands and let mother nature push you around. For one thing mother nature is a myth, "Blisskeeper" expects us to use our brains and solve problems together, because this creates "wonderment" and that is what "Blisskeeper" breaths, his oxygen. the cycles of life and quintesynthesis determination, each half of its heartbeat. as for what I am doing to help, well for one I've never done anything bad to anyone, making me by the logic of math everyones best friend. I do not drive and when I did or if in future a motorcycle or small car, also solarhome planned.

QUESTION:
Twice the supplement of the angle is 104 greater than four times the complement of angle. Find angle?
Advance math question

• ANSWER:
  Let x be the angle you want, then you will have the following

  2*(180 - x) = 104 + 4 * (90-x)

  360 - 2x = 104 + 360 - 4x

  -2x = 104 - 4x

  2x = 104

  x = 52 degrees

QUESTION:
Can I get out of a citation for fishing without a license in Illinois?
I went fishing with my family yesterday to the Kankakee River State Park and when we purchased bait we saw a sign that said we needed to get a fishing license. So we had my father purchase a fishing license just in case. When we were already packed up and leaving an officer showed up and asked us for our license. Well it turned out each of us needed our own fishing license so me and my boyfriend got a citation for not having a license. She could tell we were serious when we told her we were unaware that we each needed a license(You would think she would let us off with a warning). Is there any way I can fight this in court. She didn't actually physically see us fishing, we didn't even have a line in the water, she just saw us carrying a fishing pole and tackle box back to the car. Can I argue that? Do u need a license to carry a fishing pole and a tackle box to the car? We didn't even have any fish on us. Please help, I just really need to get out of this ticket cause I don't have to spare.

• ANSWER:
  No, you cant fight it in court, its her word against yours. Also, they sit in there car at a far distance and use binoculatrs, and some cars are equipped with cameras. So you are probably caught. One year I went fishing and didnt have a liscense and a fish and game warden pulled up and wanted to see my fishing liscense. I knew I didnt have one so I started to play dumb, and acted like I was franticly looking for it. He ended up writing me a ticket for " fishing liscence not in posession ". After I packed up and left I went right away to get a 1 day fishing liscence. I then went to court, showed the judge and the ticket was thrown out. But you can still try to argue your case. If you plead not guilty and the officer dont show up to the next court date, the case will be dismissed.

QUESTION:
first time fly fishing rod and reel kit combo need help!?
i just bought my first fly fishing kit thing it comes with a 2 part rod a reel some flys this rope like stuff , like clear line, and other plastic like line i need a website or something to help me spool it i no how to spin and bait cast and spool them and Ive been for about 10 years i just decided to try this but im very lost i just wanna no how to set everything up.

• ANSWER:
  The braided "rope like stuff" is backing. This goes on the reel first. Then the fly line "plastic like line" attaches to that. Last the leader "clear line" goes on. The leader should be tapered and the fat end connects to the fly line. You can use nail knots to attach the backing, fly line and leader to each other. You'll also need some tippet material to go from the leader to the fly. Just use a blood knot or surgeon's knot to attach it. As you change flies, add more tippet so you don't lose the length of your leader. If there's a fly shop in your area, they'll be glad to help you get it set up since they know this will bring you back for flies, line, etc. They will also be able to tell you what patterns work for the species you are fishing for. Good luck with the new fly rod.

QUESTION:
Where can I find a fly fishing starter kit, books, etc.?
My dad wants fly fishing stuff for christmas but I know nothing about it. He has never done it before and wants to learn. Price isnt really a concern (up to 0 at least). Where can I go to find some info on what to get for someone that wants to start doing this? (Direct links to supplies I can order offline will be much appreciated).

• ANSWER:
  You didn't say what state you live in but there is a series of books written by local authors called "Where to Flyfish In ______" (states like CO, WY, UT, WY, FL, etc.) These will give your dad exact directions, flies to use, and type of rod (weight) to bring on his excursions. Flyfishing is often about the "getting away from it all" and a book on where to go is a great start. P.s. Bass Pro and Cabelas have crappy equipment for fly fishing. Better to use a local fly shop and get info from an owner that knows the sport not someone who is "filling in" from the camping dept.

QUESTION:
Good Starter Kit for Fly Fishing?
Hey just wondering if there are any recommendations for a good beginner's starter kit for fly fishing?

  Then pick up a book on casting. Try it out on your lawn and then hit the water.

  I see you are an avid angler. If you want a decent kit to start off with, here are a couple really nice kits for whatever flies you want to start tying.

  If you are sure that you will make fly tying a hobby, (which will most likely happen), then you may want to consider a higher end vise with professional quality tools. It would save a few bucks in the long run.Only you can make that decision.

We have been ice fishing out of a 6 person, floorless, pop-up shanty. Problem is that after a few hours of fishing with a heater in the shanty, we get copious amounts of water covering the ice. We have laid down mats to prevent slipping even with cleats but wanted to know if anyone has a solution to the water built up on the shanty floor. Our shanty has a skirt around the base that you place snow on top of to prevent wind from coming up through it and there really isnt anywhere for the water to go. Any suggestions?

• ANSWER:
  I would pull up the ice anchors and slide the tent over a couple feet or give the heater a break once you reach a decent temp so it doesn't start to melt the ice. The heaters I've used don't shut off once they reach a decent temp. When the ice is melting like that you are using excess amounts of heat.

QUESTION:
how to make a ice fishing shanty?

• ANSWER:
  First decide how big you want to go. and what you plan to do with this shack. do you want to pretty much live out of it or justa place to sit over a hole and fish.. Once you have figured that out then you can build I will describe a shack over a hole as this is small scale and can always go bigger

  Then build a frame out of 2x2 as this is lighter than 2x4s..once you have the frame laid out and where you want to pul your fishing holes, door, stove and benches you can then start putting it together. As this shack will most likely be sitting in water at some point, Your bottom runners and boards should be made of treated lumber or be stained to reduce water damage.

  when your frame is put together then put on the outer covering. This can be plywood but willl require staining or paint, but another idea is use tin sideing that are used for grainerys or what not... This can also be used as your bottom sliders too. You will need to nail your siding to your frame. and build a floor inside you shack probably better do that first before putting the siding on. Once you got the siding on you can cut the holes for you ice holes, your door, and your hole for your stove pipe.once that is all assembled you will probably have some cracks or spots where light comes in.. Fill that in with an expanding foam. Now just need to go fishing

  HOpe that helps

• ANSWER:
  Well it's a nice concept - you will find that few boats are set-up to do what you are proposing. You are better off finding a smaller boat of the right structure - like a small clipper type (think of the North Western) so you can fit scaled down equipment for proof of concept. You are unlikely to get the owner of a multimillion dollar operation to allow you to 'try stuff out' - it don't work that way at all. If you have that sort of funds available in the first place getting a smaller vessel and fitting various systems to it is actually a good tax write-off, and if proven might make you very wealthy indeed.

  All fishing methods were cutting edge once, even fish hooks - without constant experimentation there will not be advances in fishing methods, but most improvements are incremental, not radical. Even during my time as a professional fisher I was constantly improving my methods and equipment - I also tried stuff that didn't work, which is why there is a fairly conservative streak with most fishermen - you still have to keep the cash flow happening no matter what. That's the business reality.

  Good luck, you obviously have put some thought into this, hope you get somewhere.

QUESTION:
What is an alternative to hair rigging in fishing?(UK)?
I usually use a hair rig if going after Chubb. Barbell or Carp.
I have heard of an alternative idea called a bait anchor.
Is this any good and is there anything else i could try?
My local angling shop cant help.They have never heard of it

• ANSWER:
  I'd never heard of them before either, but I found them on the Harris Sportsmail website. I've no idea how well they work.

  The other obvious option is baitbands.

QUESTION:
fishing question referance bait.?
I'm off fishing tom morning and am going to try some new bait for a change, Worm. Now on my local water the maximum sized hook isa 12 but my good friend at the local angling shop suggested a 8. Well I'm using a 12. Its barbless so I bought some buoyany maggots to act as a stopper so the worm doesn't come off. Will this be ok or hinder my chances of a bite? I'm float fishing and am hoping for something bigger than my previous visits. (Carp around 2 - 5lb.) Any suggestions? Also I'm using 6lb line, should I go straight through or have 5lb hooklength to the 12 hook, I would really appreciate some sound advice as I'm itching for something a bit bigger. What fish can I expect to catch?

• ANSWER:
  try chopped worm as a feed(about 3.4 pieces every cast .with a 1" piece on the hook.use the end pieces as hook bait chop the middles.just hook through the very end .
  tight lines

QUESTION:
I've just got my first rod- how can I tell what it's suitable for?
A friend of mine has got me my first rod, as I want to start coarse fishing here in the UK. She's not in to angling but recovered it from a house clearance; it is brand new.

The rod is an 'Aftershock Spin 10ft', in two pieces. If this rod is intended for spinning, does that mean I can only fish for large, predatory fish on running water? I think that what spinning is- using lures to catch big pike and perch.

Can I use this rod for general coarse fishing on stocked lakes, to go after smaller carp?

Lastly, I have seen in a local charity shop a rod set which I believe to be forty or fifty years old- split cane rod sections which apparently make up 15 different rod combinations. It comes with a bakelite and brass multiplier reel. Providing it's all in good condition, would this be a good buy for £20? Could I use this to do my fishing or is it more of a display item?

Thanks!

• ANSWER:
  you can use your rod on any course fishing spots but make sure you got a licence to fish, as for the split cane rod and reel snap it up it sounds like a very good buy, tight lines.
