I'm looking for an alternative to Korkers interchangable soles, the carbide spikes are killing my feet.

Looking for tips and advice to find good Susquehanna river spots which might hold walleye. Also rigs & lures. I was told chartreuse jig heads with yellow plastics or minnows was a good choice. Any help would be appreciated.

I got started on this from a video I watched a few days ago. I've always been a fan of the old Jitterbug and later the Hula Popper. There are some very unique new styles that will surely get the attention of any top water enthusiasts. Bionic Cicada Deps NZ Crawler Jackall Pompadour...

I got on some 8-inches of solid ice late this afternoon. The sunset bite was on fire, caught 5 gills and 4 crappies within about an hour and a half. I wasn't sure of conditions so I headed out with no bait, lol. I ended up getting them all on small jigs with plastics. The bite died out after...

Anyone have any experience setting up a "hot tent" for ice fishing or winter camping. I was tossing around the idea of trying it last year but didn't get around to it. Basically any form of tent or ice shelter with a heat source is what I'm talking about. I'd like to convert an Eskimo...

Long tails, graceful in flight, and bigger than most of the insects around. What's the big deal? The biggest and oldest bass give themselves up during this hatch.

I've always preferred the Jitterbug because it's classic. I like being able to pause/stop the lure and have it keep floating so I'm not a fan of buzz baits. I found a Whopper Plopper in mint condition hung up on a rock while wading the Susky last summer and used it a few times and found that it...

I finally hit a hatch on the river when the bass were actually rising. This spot has produced for me in the past and is my Shangri-La for dry fly fishing. Please excuse the poor audio and camera work. This is recorded by a small head mounted action cam which is enclosed in a water proof...

I've had some success with crappies lately, dropping the usual from mealworms, waxies on jigs, fathead minnows and plastics. They seem to really go for the plastics, I'll put a pic below of what I've been using on small slow sinking jig. Problem is they seem to rush up to it then I can't get...

What's a good rig, bait, set-up for walleyes under the ice? I've had limited success but have caught them on tip-ups rigged with medium shiners, jigging rapalas and spoon with minnow head. I've watched some videos of guys in Canada getting them on everything, wish we had the population of eyes...

Drove past Frances Slocum this afternoon, shallow side had a pretty good start, lots of ice covering it. It'll be awhile yet. Dam side was wide open.

I saw some of these advertised online, very pricey, $4 each even. I was curious if any of you do it yourselfers & fly tiers had any idea how one might create some without breaking the bank. These are tungsten and glow. Glow is a plus but tungsten not a necessity.

I checked the local DHALO stretch Friday afternoon, water was flowing, bite was average, got a few on wully buggers Some video

I pushed myself to get out again Tuesday evening before the deluge, Susquehanna North Branch is projected to go up 10 feet by Friday o_O I started seeing surface action right away but only a very few white flies, then it rained, then it stopped raining, then it rained, stopped, repeat, ect...

Monday evening I was hoping to catch the tail end of the white fly hatch on the Susquehanna North Branch in the Harding - Apple Tree boat launch area. I got to the river around 5pm and struggled to get any bites on the spinning gear until one smallie hit my jig and ended the drought, that would...

White flies made their appearance in the Falls / Harding area. There were a good number flying around but they disappeared before dark and it was not a major hatch at all. Saw just a few rising fish but couldn't get a take. I'm confident that water clarity will improve and we will get a shot...

Gauge in Wilkes-Barre is under 2 feet, that usually means decent conditions for wading up around Harding and Falls. I'm wondering about water clarity, has anyone fished the North Branch lately?

I just received my jig rod in the mail, fantastic !! You are definitely a master craftsman. Thank You !!

What do you streamer chuckers use when throwing the big meaty flies? I would like to up my river fishing game and be able to cast good sized flies without the major hitches. Furled leaders? I use 6wt for trout and 8 wt. for river smallies.
