OT: free fly fishing magazines

[JeffReef]

Anyone here into fly fishing? I'm cleaning my garage today and found my collection of fly fishing/fly tying magazines. I'll just throw these away unless someone here wants it. PM me if you're interested. These magazines will give you lots of info on local streams and lakes, fly patterns, fishing techniques and equiptments.

Are any of them recent? I'd be happy to take some of them off your hands, if nobody else is in line

 

[JeffReef]

Most magazines were from 2003 - 2007. There are some older ones given by a fellow fly fisher from my fly fishing club.

I can meet you at the Dixon swap if you'd be there. PLMK if you're interested either way.

All magazines will go to Tropoasis.

Ahh, I didn't see this response... oh well. Maybe I can talk Frank into kicking down a few for me.

Of course Jacob, and maybe I can drag you out fishing on one of my trips to the area. I go to Yosemite every month or two

 

[Jacob D]

Thanks Frank

Yosemite sounds good, I need to get a smaller rod though. I'm only geared up for saltwater. The smallest rod I have is a 9 wt... a little over kill for brooke trout, but might be useful for some big browns!

I've got a 5wt Orvis Clearwater rod/reel you can use. I use a 4wt Orvis Trout Bum w/CFO II Reel myself.

Nice set up. I can probably borrow one from my father. He's been fly fishing since he was a kid and has quite a collection of rods, reels, lines, and flys.

Finding the time is the hard part these days. Pretty soon it'll be time to get out on the delta for stripers. I haven't caught one on the fly yet, but I will this fall. I'm going to try and make a point to get out at least a couple times a month... I need to work on my technique anyway.
