Are there any fishermen in the forum? I mean rod and reel...

Fish yes, off and on. Fish a few years, don't fish a few years. In a "don't fish" period.

I'm another. I have tied my own flies since the sixth grade.

Fishing??? you bet...mostly salt water but nothing like you have down there....I would give my left arm to fish down there for a few weeks....Damn!
Mostly striped bass here and I used to fish a lot of shark and tuna tournaments up here but the fuel prices are hurting everybody.

Yup.
Where in Costa Rica are you from? I lived in in Zapote, near la casa presidencial, for 3 months a couple of years ago.

I fish quite a bit.

I'm old school, though. Most of my fishing is off a bank with a night crawler. Whatever's biting worms is what I'm fishing for. If I'm crappie fishing, it's off a dock with a minnow. I rarely even take a lure out of my box.

I like to keep it simple. We mostly eat what I catch unless I don't feel like cleaning them. In that case, I release them.

Grandson Indigo is my good fishing buddy, I bait the hooks and he reels them in.

I'm going fishing tomorrow.

<-- eagerly waiting for the salmon run to pick up (and finals to be over so he can take advantage of the salmon run picking up)

Yep, Flies are my favorites. Fishin the middle provo, green river and Blacksmith fork. Going to Alaska on Saturday looking for some big bows.

Love to fish used to go weekly before I moved a couple years ago.

Have really had the itch to get back into it as of recent. Just need to find me some good spots.

Since I was 4 years old in Iowa rivers, lakes and ponds.
Black bass, bullheads, carp, sturgeon, blugills,crappie, walleye, a couple of muskey, blue cats, flatheads.

While living in L.A. I caught a couple of chest freezers full of yellowtail off of the oil rigs.

If I could afford it now , I'd have a amuminum bass boat and go twice a week.

Except for all of the hurling out on the ocean, I never had abad day fishing.

Yup, lots of opportunities for great fly fishing in PA.

I fish often, a couple times a week usually. I'm going back home today to wade a creek that used to have excellent smallmouth. Hopefully it still does.

I love to fly-fish. Mostly western rivers (MT, UT, ID). Don't do it enough, of course...

If its not hunting season its fishing season!

here is my fish from last month..the guy in the picture is my cousin, he is holding it because since his dad owns a bait shop they're using it as advertisment..xD

28LB 42 inches bank fishing using blood worms
he caught a 72in sturgeon that same day but had to release it because it was too big too keep..he was mad..i was jus laughing because mine is a keeper..california slot limit for sturgeon is 46"-66"...

Oh yeah. This year a butt load of perch along with some L. mouth bass, crappie, blue gill, walleye and sunfish.

Yuppers - I love to fish, mostly with power grubs or shad bouncing off the bottom. When I'm forced into "Urban Fisherman" mode, I have good luck using roadrunners early in the morning. Lets me scratch my itch without driving a few hours to get my line wet.

Ohhh yeah! I love to drink fish!
I'm a bass fisherman who will go after Pike, Muskie, Steelies, Salmon, Catfish and Sturgeon. Most of the time I just catch a hangover though.
