What do you plan for your 2011 fishing season?
Posted by: | CommentsChristmas is almost here as I write this post... my kids get excited and are looking forward to this evening, as this is THE moment we will all have a great supper, sing songs, tell stories, and for them, most of all, unpack their X-mas presents...
Next week I will reflect back on my 2010 fishing season and take new year "fishing resolutions" to plan my 2011 season. So what's in store for me?
I want to spend at least one week fishing for bonefish in Cuba, as my buddy Pascal has been there multiple times and recommended several productive flats easily accessible for a DoItYourselfer like me..
Then I want to go back at least once for 2-3 days to fish for winter steelhead around the Pulaski, NY region. My last trip end of october was good even though we didn't exactly hit the runs on time..

New & Used Fly Fishing Equipment on eBay & Amazon
Posted by: | CommentsI just wanted to give a brief explanation on what type of fly fishing equipment you will find on the site.
As I have mentioned in the About section, most fly gear on the CWFF website is selected fly fishing equipment from eBay. I am also showcasing items that are sold through Amazon. The obvious reasons are choice and price.
Most gear (rods, reels, accessories) are new. However, you will also find used fly fishing equipment, either mentioned in special sections on this site or on a particular brand's product page (like on the Abel Reels page). Sometimes a same product page displays both new and used fly fishing equipment items. To find out, if it is not mentioned in the title, simply click to see the details of each listing.
My 3 Top Fly Fishing Equipment Picks – Fly Rod, Reel & Line
Posted by: | CommentsIn our never ending quest to find "the ultimate" fly fishing equipment item, I have tried to list what I consider top picks for: fly rod, fly reel, fly line, fly vest or pack, waders & boots and streamside accessory. A very hard exercise - I am sure that many will disagree with my choices - so let me know by leaving a comment in the section at the end of the post.
My choices went towards fly fishing equipment that represent an amazing value or which is significantly superior to other similar gear.
#1 - Fly rod:TFO Lefty Kreh TiCr X
very fast but smooth single hand fly rod - available with a Conversion kit to turn it into a two-handed 11' 3" rod that can be used for casting to striped bass, steelhead or salmon. (I sold all my other 8wts - even a T&T - this is such an amazing casting & fishing tool - Under $250!)
