the first time i ever saw any one catch anything live on a fly rod was when i was a kid on vacation up at long lake in the adirondack mountains. of course he was a pipe smoker too.
I've been fly fishing in salt for about 10 years. A 9 weight fast action Orvis, 10 weight intermediate line most times, and an old Battenkill reel by Orvis as well. It was close to a high end rig at the time and still never fails. And while I love striper fishing you can't beat blues on a fly...
I've been listening to "Revelator" a lot since the Grammy's. Susie's sweet voice and Derek's nasty slide would have added some real talent to the night.
I just joined and I'm looking to get started. With no good/any pipe shops on Long Island I've been searching the internet but I'm still confused about what a good starter pipe would be (probably $20 to $50 say) and the best place to pick one up. Any input is much appreciated.
