Daily Reports on Cape Cod and the Salmon River are available at " Fishing Reports"

As a year around fishing guide, I'd like to share with you my opinions and ideas on fishing supplies and clothing.

I believe in providing my guests with only the finest equipment and accessories available.


Fish age is a young, highly innovative Italian fishing company whose main goal is 
to make fisherman feel comfortable under the most demanding weather conditions:
from hot to cold and from wet to dry.
-
Cutting-edge raw materials and premium technologies are used to manufacture our
products, which are tested exactly where they should be: in the field. The Fish Age
 team is loaded with hard-core fishermen who know what it takes to conquer the
elements outdoors. We could describe our manufacturing process with a lot of fancy
technical jargon, but we'd rather let our gear prove itself where it counts: in the
field. We are confident that Fish Age products will provide your best outdoor
experience ever.
-
New technologies, superior raw materials and a vibrant Italian style make the
difference when it comes to premium products. We leverage these to manufacture
a new generation of technical gear for the most demanding fishermen and the most
challenging elements. Our products are designed for the true believers in a new
age of fishing gear: the Fish Age.

You can view their product line in Italy by visiting their website:

If the website does not come up then you will need to install flashplayer.
It is free and easily downloaded from the net. Here is what I used:

Orvis - The best in fly fishing clothing,  equipment  and accessories. Need I  say more? http://www.ORVIS.com   For free technical information call 1-800-235-9763.

Mustad - Whether its fresh or saltwater, their hooks are super strong and razor sharp. I've tried them all. Their quality is unsurpassable! http://www.mustad.no   or e-mail: jeff@mustad-usa.com.
Saltwater -
Mustad Signature series - S71S-SS  or C70S-D or C47S-D
Salmon River, Pulaski, NY. - New Mustad Signature Series Hooks - CO68 Wet/Nymph Caddis - 2x Heavy / 2x Short

Outermost Harbor Marine
Located on the "elbow" of Cape Cod. Outermost Harbor offers a rare and exciting perspective on the natural beauty of Cape Cod. A saltwater fishing expedition, a seal cruise, or a shuttle boat to miles of unspoiled beach offers something for everyone.
A visit to these pristine barrier beaches and island wonders will become one of your most enduring memories of Cape Cod. Children of all ages will delight at the antics of the seal colonies that call Monomoy home.

Seaguar Fluorocarbon - http://www.seaguar.com/home.html Most of my friends who guide on the Salmon River (Including myself) use their Fluorocarbon during our 8 month fishing season for all species of fish. Tuff, strong, almost invisible and hard to beat in the Floro. market. Their Grand Max is, if not the BEST, at the very top of the line for top shelf fluorocarbon lines. This is not my opinion, but comes from scientific study, research from laboratories who have compared it with all of the other top fluorocarbons in the market place concerning breaking strength, visibility in the water and more. (Compare Seaguar's diameter and breaking point  (pound test) with your favorite Floro. and you will see what I mean)

Ande Monofilment  -  Summer or winter, fresh or saltwater, Ande has a superior line of mono to satisfy all my spin fishing needs. Call (561) 842-2474.
Please visit http://www.andemonofilament.com

Water Gremlin - When the fish are deep your fly line can't get down to them, I use Water Gremlin split shot in various sizes to do the job. Easy to add or subtract for the perfect drift, whether I'm spin or fly fishing.  http://www.watergremlin.com .

Cortland Running Line - My #1 choice when drift fishing with a fly rod. Cortland specializes in running lines in all different diameters that I need for different river conditions and species of fish. Visit: http://www.cortlandline.com

Cumming Nets - I know a lot of guides on the Salmon River and Cape Cod. All agree that Cumming Nets are quality tools. They have a wide variety of choices for all species of fish and fishing styles. Call (810) 736-0130.

Glissen Gloss TM - Estaz TM and other fine fly tying products-A large number of flies I use with my guest's on a daily basis are tied with Regular Estaz, Estaz Grande or Petite Estaz TM . Whether it's Salmon or Steelhead I'm targeting. All the right colors to choose from. Several Glissen Gloss fibers are excellent for hand-tying custom flies. Take a look at either their Fly-Tying section or their Estaz section for more details and product examples.  877-480-1010 (Toll-free)
http://www.glissengloss.com

PowerPro Microfilament line- After receiving several recommendations from angler's and guides I've decided to use it exclusively for my spinning rod trip's on the Cape where Im using bait and lures for Stripers and Blues. I understand that it gets very little line twist and the diameter is amazingly small. Meaning you will be able to throw it further with less friction and get more strength with a smaller diameter line. It also does not stretch so your hook set's are immediate. Their tool free number is 1-800-650-8003 and web address is http://www.powerpro.com
I'll continue to use Ande Mono for all of my Salmon River fishing need's.

Fishing Report from a close friend:
My 6 year old son Taylor and I hit the
River this am for his first Salmon fishing trip.  While the rain did bring the river up a bit and reduce the clarity we still had a great time.  Of the 30 or so people that were fishing the bank within our view, Taylor was the ONLY angler to hook and land anything.   He did a great job, landing 2 of 3 Salmon he hooked up.  The first was around 18lbs and the second was around 10lbs.  The 10 pounder was fresh in and put on one heck of an air show for us and burned almost 150 yards off the reel on the first run.  The one that broke his leader on a zebra mussel covered rock looked to be around 25-30lbs.  When Taylor asked one other angler if he had caught anything, the guy replied “Nope, nothing so far and it looks like you’ve caught them all.”  He did a fantastic job fighting the fish and even caught a few bonus salamanders between fish.


The new Pautzke Fire Cure in Red proved once again to be the ticket.  It is just amazing to see so
many other anglers out on the water having no success while we hook up regularly.  While we only hooked
up 3 fish, we missed several others and we were only fishing for around an hour and
a half and nearly half that time was spent fighting fish.
Taylor made sure to tell the other guys around us that we were using Mr. Yano’s top secret Fire Cure.
The hook of choice was the Mustad Ultra Point 92569FC in size 4.  He handled the
10’ 6  Lamiglass armed with Shimano Sustain 4000 very well. 
Both fish were handled carefully and released.
Attached are a shot of each fish . . .

I'd like to thank Jeff and his son for providing us all with a
wonderful fishing story, Pics, report and tip's.
More on the "New and Exciting Pautzke Fire Cure in Red"
Actually, this cure for skein is not new. It has simply been one of the best kept secrets around for
those of you fishing skein or wanting to preserve your eggs in the best way possible to give you
the best opportunity to catch the most fish. (Ssssh) It'll be our lil secret.

-
Jeff has been using this cure for 20 or more years. I've seen it's crushing
abilities first hand. Out fishing everyone else, know matter what style of
fishing they choose. Jeff has also been sending honest fishing reports that
confirm this amazing cure's fish catching qualities, whether fishing bottom
and or floats with a center pin or spin rod.

Qaultiy Flies, Rods, etc... Tied and Sold by my freind Dave Botelho

If your intrested in purchasing quality Salmon, Trout, Etc... flies for a great price, see Dave's website. He also sells rods and reels, etc... from some of the top manufacture's. Stop in for a visit. :)
Pro. Published - Fly tier Dave Botelho web site http://www.tightlines-flyfishing.com

I had the pleasure of fishing with Dave last week and I can't say enouph nice things about his experience level, fly tying skill's, web site, published fly tier and what a true gentleman his is!
A lil about Dave:
I am retired from State Law Enforcement and during my 36 year
career I fly fished to keep my sanity. Next to my family it is
my second passion. I am also a private pilot and a freelance
fly fishing photographer, and a perfectionist in my sport, so
when I tie a fly it is to scale. I will bring the real insect
home and put it under a microscope and measure the thorax,
tail, wings, etc. and then I will create a replica knowing
how selective trout are. That is what I did with the inchworm.
I have been published twice in the Orvis News, Volume 34 no.2
and Volume 37 no.2 as well as Poul Jorgensen's Dry Fly Patterns
of the New Millennium
, and his Wet Fly Patterns due out soon,
and Fly Fish America Magazine.
