Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} 1000 Islands?

I've been up in Kingston for the past two weeks fishing the lake where the family cottage sits. Weather has been cold with rain and wind most of the time. Next week should be sunny and warmer.

I've been spin casting with a Ned rig and yellow shallow crank bait with good luck in 4-8' of cool water.

I haven't fished the St. Lawrence but see boats in the coves.

There are some nice lakes that dont get much weekday pressure all around. The South Frontenac Rental Center south of Verona on Hwy 38 has a bunch of non-fly fishing gear as does Canadian Tire in Kingston on Gardiners Road. They should be able to give you some good gouge.

Scott

PS. The Pulaski River is 90 minutes away on 81. That is the place to fly fish for trout and salmon.

I'm assuming the standard flies/lures will work, in the standard places -- rocky points, dropoffs, islands, current breaks, etc. Though if they're still hanging in deep water then I might have some trouble with the fly rod.

I anyone has any suggestions -- resources, information, experience -- I'd be most appreciative. I'm not looking for a guide, however. (Not this year, anyway.)

I'll be near Lansdowne on the Canadian side, in case that matters much.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: When is the next Beer Tie?

Owen,

For me it may be a google permissions issue. All my google stuff is associated with my school email, which is not the email I use for TPFR. I tried to create a second account with that email but could not find a place to do that. I don't want the school address to be my main account as I'm not able to see school emails on all my devices.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Pink-tint polarized lenses

Here is the catalog from 1999. I'm still all about amber lenses for all conditions except low light. I wear Costa sunrise yellow lenses. Only glass for me.

That's a very cool business I had never heard of -- thanks. I will definitely use them to replace some scratched lenses.

But as far as I can tell they don't have any low-light pink-tinted sunglasses. They have a 'rose-gold' that's only 13% VLT, and they have a violet tint that's 26% VLT but is not polarized, and then they have the obligatory red-mirror-amber-tint.

Check out Fuse Lenses. They sell sunglasses with pink lenses in your price range, or you can just buy replacement pink polarized lenses from them for an existing pair of glasses you already own.

This is a long shot, but Orvis used to make affordable pink-tinted sunglasses for low-light fishing conditions. They were great glasses for that, but they were also great for general winter use and driving on snowy days. Orvis stopped making them a while back, and mine eventually got too scratched to wear.

I've been trying for a few years, but I can't find anything to replace that pair. I have a couple of pairs of pink-tinted non-polarized sunglasses designed for cycling (they're okay, not great for fishing), and I bought a couple of pairs of sunglasses that have "red mirror" lenses but turned out to be amber tinted (they're great for when I want to look like a d-bag in any light condition). I've scoured REI, Dick's, Bass Pro, and other shops looking for pink polarized sunglasses. So far I think the closest I found was a $250 pair of Smiths or something like that, but I'm looking for something in the $50-100 range.

I've run out of leads here, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? Does anyone still make such a lens?

thanks,
Miles

Miles,

You're looking for the Ignitor lens from Smith. They only make 2 models still with that lens. I'd be happy to order them for you if you like.

I use a pair for upland hunting and sporting clays, and occasionally low light fishing. I don't use it for driving.

So for winter conditions maybe think ski goggles and sunglasses made by ski goggle companies. Oakley comes to mind. I used to wear their yellow lenses for cycling. I think it's the combo of pink/yellow for low light and polarized that makes this search a tough one.

I went through a similar search earlier this year and want able to find anything that was both low light (yellow or pink) and polarized other than the Smith chromapops. I asked Brian Trow at Mossy about it and he said amber is going to be your best bet. I'm still looking …. Smith often has an old frame styles on sale. You maybe able to get a high quality lens at an admittedly small discount.

Please report back if you find anything. We might be able to place a bulk order.

This is a long shot, but Orvis used to make affordable pink-tinted sunglasses for low-light fishing conditions. They were great glasses for that, but they were also great for general winter use and driving on snowy days. Orvis stopped making them a while back, and mine eventually got too scratched to wear.

I've been trying for a few years, but I can't find anything to replace that pair. I have a couple of pairs of pink-tinted non-polarized sunglasses designed for cycling (they're okay, not great for fishing), and I bought a couple of pairs of sunglasses that have "red mirror" lenses but turned out to be amber tinted (they're great for when I want to look like a d-bag in any light condition). I've scoured REI, Dick's, Bass Pro, and other shops looking for pink polarized sunglasses. So far I think the closest I found was a $250 pair of Smiths or something like that, but I'm looking for something in the $50-100 range.

I've run out of leads here, so I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? Does anyone still make such a lens?

thanks,
Miles

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Pink-tint polarized lenses

If trying the shooting glasses direction, try Wiley X and Hunters HD gold

Have you looked at shooting glasses? They come in yellow lenses for low light, and I presume you can find a polarized version. Just another thought.

Thanks, Greg. If it was just for fishing, I'd be content with amber. But amber somehow doesn't work as well for me in winter conditions.

Miles —

I went through a similar search earlier this year and want able to find anything that was both low light (yellow or pink) and polarized other than the Smith chromapops. I asked Brian Trow at Mossy about it and he said amber is going to be your best bet. I'm still looking …. Smith often has an old frame styles on sale. You maybe able to get a high quality lens at an admittedly small discount.

Please report back if you find anything. We might be able to place a bulk order.

Cheers,
