Re: 4 pc VS. 2pc fly rods.

Try a 6mi hike in with a camping pack...the two piece is more than a "concieved" inconvenience. My 7' 3pc doesn't even fit where I want it to.

Orvis Brass Spotting Scope, anyone seen one?

I saw what looks to be a vintage Orvis Brass spotting scope at a local pawn shop. It is a straight line telescoping scope with a brass tripod; when it's collapsed its about 6" or so. Has anyone...

Re: 4 pc VS. 2pc fly rods.

I'm currently taking donations for a Tacoma 4x4 doublecab with the TRD trim package! Until they all roll in I'm sticking with the Yaris and the 4pc rods!

Re: 4 pc VS. 2pc fly rods.

Even if 2 pc is better, MOST of us will never know the difference! From what I understand they are so close in comparison these days that only the best and most discerning casters will know the...

Re: Rainy Day Success

I've had PLENTY of good days in the rain! So long as it's not downpouring I keep fishing and catching just like normal...I guess the fish don't know when it's raining. Looks like a nice day out,...

Re: The Madison – A River of Many Faces

Yes, the Madison can be a bit befuddling!! I fished it three days while in Montana and had a decent day, a spectacular day, and a very terrible day! Though the terrible day was not my fault (at...

Re: Yellowstone National Park

Congrats on the impending retirement! Wish I could join you guys out there this summer, but baby boy #2 is on the way so no more Yellowstone treks for the next couple of years I'm afraid.

Re: Reel pairing for Sage One 5wt?

Oh, I see it now...I always forget that there are people out there on the coasts that fish for BIG stuff and routinely put backing in the water. I'm in Ohio, and salt fishing is the furthest thing...

Re: Reel pairing for Sage One 5wt?

Interesting take you have on this; I would think that drag inconsistency and slower line rate retrieval are more inhibitive to FISHING than uneven line winding. I do agree that a wide arbor design...

Re: Reel pairing for Sage One 5wt?

You're saying that you like to have a heavier reel on the ONE? I found it so light that I was going to use the Hatch 4 on something else?? I put a Litespeed 2 on it and it matches for me. When we...

I have to vote for DiverDan, no snub to anyone else but I think DD and I would get along pretty well. Though I think it's his cynical curmudgenous side that makes me laugh, not his jokes!

Re: Should I be able to cast my 3wt as far as my 5wt?

?????? How is it even possible to "cast" with no rod? If I leave the fly line on the spool I can chuck it, box and all across the Rapahannock like George Washington, but that isn't casting. I...

Re: streamer fishing

Hmmm... I disagree a little at least. I've caught the same stocker twice in 5 minutes on the same fly....to me stockers seem pretty easy to catch; erratic in their behavior but more willing than...

Re: Should I be able to cast my 3wt as far as my 5wt?

Yeah, I guess that's more clear...many times you are following your rod hand with your line hand...not getting any haul that way. Other casts it was short and choppy.
