More fun with Ian Crabtree.

[Zach Matthews]

He agreed but hasn’t been available so I’ve quit calling.

It was more of a word limit problem.

In light of the cougar thread, how many have ever seen black bears while fishing?

[Zach Matthews]

Being as we’re part of the Great Internet Fly Fishermen/Cougar Watchmen Association, I thought I’d knock together a few links here for people interested in this topic to peruse:

First, this thread.

Second, our original thread:

http://www.itinerantangler.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1171488488/0

Third, Byron Begley’s Little River Outfitters (recent sightings!) thread:

http://littleriveroutfitters.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7903

(Also includes discussion of coyote and red wolf sightings in the Smokies, including by your truly.)

Finally, Fly Fishing Arkansas’ thread, including a sighting by Davy Wotton at Bull Shoals Tailwater:

(Thanks to Rusty Garoutte for that link.)

Enjoy,

I’ve scheduled three interviews for this coming week and have a streamside essay already prepped.

Perfect Will.

[Zach Matthews]

I had Ian freeze for the shot.

Check the next issue of Fly Fisherman (May) before you go.

Anything you want but typically large baitfish patterns like Enrico Puglisi flies, Whistlers, Sar-Mul-Macs, Clousers, or Crease Flies.

[Zach Matthews]

The integrated lines do cast better and handle better, in my opinion, but the tradeoff probably isn’t worth it unless you’re fishing over sand.

Flyfisher –

That chip is the same one, albeit slightly downgraded, as my D200.

[Zach Matthews]

John –

That’s a dead link.

Steve –

This is a total team effort fishery.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey guys –

Ian located a snowboarding-style pack which he uses for light packing trips such as this.

[Zach Matthews]

Hahahah, yeah I let my eyes be bigger than my stomach.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Bryan –

I think I used up all my brownie points this weekend, but if you guys plan to do it again, maybe this summer, I’d like to come up and meet you.

[Zach Matthews]

Nice report, Cameron.

[Zach Matthews]

Hey Joel –

I’ve already talked to Simms, unfortunately.
