Re: Choosing my next rod

LYH,

If you want to get your reps in on our trout streams this summer / early fall with the lower flows ( less precipitation this year ) with the new rod , go with an eight and half foot to nine...

Re: Totally none fishing related, but I need some advice.

Having spent the last two weeks moving and splitting my time between two properties, furniture in one and a cot in the other as I got it ready for occupancy, might have lead me to a more open minded...

Re: Scott Rods Reviews?

If you think about it, Scott tends to march to their own beat. For instance, at $395.00 for the A4 it would seem that Scott doesn’t offer the usual sub $300.00 entry level fly rod, like so many other...

Re: Need extra spool?

I do have a few extra spools for a couple of our reels, but I have more duplicate reels than extra spools. That’s a function of extensive travel ( a spare spool doesn’t have much use, if the reel its...

Re: Interesting, Never heard of this company before.

A rose by any other name……..as it turns out, might not smell as sweet.

An old American fly rod company might have a pretty good case to make about some of what I read on that website and the...

Re: My polypropylene yarn don't float !!

Been tying and fishing yarn indicators since the late eighties and have never used one without first, lightly dressing them with paste floatant and then preening it out. Normally it only needs to be...

Re: Redington Stuff..

Hey Rod,

Redington clothing is ( or was ) where it’s at, for both my wife and I. The cuts, at least in our sizes are more along the lines of lean / slim fit, which we prefer. Columbia is another...

Re: Cabelas L-Tech on Sale FYI

Re: What's Your Profile Like?

Hi Milt,

There must be a maximum word count for bio text. It stopped mid-sentence about half way into the bio. So I took down the half that was accepted. It’s kind of like inviting people over for...

Re: What's Your Profile Like?

O.K. Ard,

I decided to play along. Wrote up a bio and posted it. I guess I've gotten to old, because it only would accept half of it.

Nip and tuck:thumbsupu, TT

Re: 2013 5-Weight Shootout

This could be great news for Scott. Because if you give the Scott A4 the 3 additional points it would’ve gotten if they’d gotten the price correct at under $400.00. Then the A4’s final score is 127....

Re: 2013 5-Weight Shootout

As I wrote earlier, there are typo’s and omissions in this article. It’s as if we’re reading an advanced draft, but not the final draft.
I was waiting to see if anyone else picked up on this, but a...

Re: 2013 5-Weight Shootout

This shootout seems to lack the polish of the those in the past, it contains enough typos to have been written by me.:p
Other than that and the lack of tact in lampooning a few rod makers for their...

Re: What Makes a Great Fly-Shop?

Hi saltinthedesert,

For us, its all about a large non-homogenized inventory. Good shops carry all the standard brands, but great shops carry the rest.

We can buy just about every brand of rod...
