Fly Fishing Equipment
Fly Equipment by Bob Boyce If you want to fish in a particular place or for a specific species there are schools devoted to these pursuits. Saltwater, Freshwater or Nymph, cold water or warm water, Alaska, Ontario or Ireland; all are covered. You can find schools for kids, or schools run by women, for women. Wherever you want to fish you will find a fly school to fit your needs. If you want to learn new techniques, get advice on equipment, or find out the best places in your area for fishing, a fly school can provide a valuable experience. If you like the idea of socializing with like-minded people, a fly club is also a good choice. There are clubs all over the world dedicated to the sport of fly fishing. There are clubs that cater to those who are physically challenged. There are also clubs for women only. There are international clubs or those dedicated to local areas of fishing. There are many advantages to joining a fly

club. You will have the chance to exchange ideas, share information and learn new techniques. Many clubs will have lending libraries of books, magazines and videos, even equipment. Some clubs participate in trade shows and fairs giving you another means to communicate with other fly fishermen. Another advantage to belonging to a fly club is that often these clubs are able to get discounts on products and tours. Many clubs publish newsletters to keep you up to date on all the latest news for your sport. Besides being a source of fun, belonging to a club can be a very wise investment.

Deep Sea Fishing

Stop the Madness!!
First, they shut down the red snapper, grouper, and black seabass fisheries for an undetermined length of time. Next, the president forms a task force to oversee and protect the oceanic waters - we have yet to see the outcome of this group's recommendations - some say this could even prevent you from fishing in a pond on your own property. Either of these could curtail recreational fishing as we know it. The fishery closures are already having a huge economic impact on the fishing industry. California anglers wrestle with all the areas closed to fishing every day.

Now I read today that NOAA, in all its wisdom, wants to put loggerhead turtles on the endangered species list. Now, that may not seem to be bad - in fact, protecting an endangered animal species is what we need top do. But - is this turtle really endangered? I see at least one loggerhead on every trip I make. In fact, we often purposely look for one, because they are generally diving over live bottom, and that means fish are down there.

During the recent cold weather in Florida, hundreds of turtles were rescued and saved from death to be released back into the ocean when the water warmed. I just don't see the problem in my experience.

The report talks about Japanese nesting areas for the northern Pacific loggerhead. Ok - go after the Japanese. I wonder why we always seem to have to be the saviors of the world. It's just like the whaling industry in Japan and the blue fin tuna fishery in Japan. World stocks are depleted, but they seem to not care. So - to cure the problem, we let them fish and shut down our own fisheries.

So why is the loggerhead an issue? Well just watch. Top protect these turtles, commercial fishermen will be shut down in certain areas. Beach fronts that are nesting areas will be closed to public access. Boat traffic will be eliminated in areas where loggerheads roam - it just goes on and on. And, if you think I am making this up, just look at the manatee restrictions put in place in Florida over the past several years.

I am sure to get emails blasting me for this - PETA, et al, always watch what I write and then blast me. But - someone has to make some rational sense out of all of this.

You must realize that you have not heard from PETA and the other environmental groups for quite a while. I said years ago that they were well funded and they were taking their fight to lobbyists to quietly change fishing regulations. They have latched onto and gotten the ear of the government now and things will be changing fast over the next few years. IT IS TIME TO STOP THIS MADNESS!

If you fish - and by reading this either you do or you are one of the many tree-huggers that are trying to stop fishing altogether - you need to get hold of your congressman's and senators' ears and tell them - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!
