Re: Rod for Colorado
I agree on the 4wt but if you're looking for a general trout rod, leaving the 6wt for streamers, bass ,etc, then I'd go longer than 8'. I have a 7'6" 4wt and 6'6" 2wt and fish them both but would...

Re: Furled Leaders
Yes I do. I coat the furled leader with floatant paste and switch between dries and nymphs with no problems. This means that the end of the furled leader is on the surface and I have enough tippet...

Re: Need help building a starter kit
Some of the starter kits are just tools and vise, no materials. I agree that you'd probably get materials you wouldn't use but that's not to say don't get a kit with tools and vise. What you want...

Re: Epic Rose 4wt.
Wow! Clean and classy. I wouldn't have thought of the pink silk but it is quite subtle. Beautiful grip and seat as well.

Re: Furled Leaders
I use them and love them. Easy to cast, turn over flies well, easy to change tippet sizes, and can last a season or longer.
Are you familiar with furled leaders and asking about the Cutthroats...

Re: Redington CT 2wt and I fished today
I have a battenkill barstock on my 2wt and it's small, light and wasn't too expensive. If I was buying it today I'd look at the new version of the BBS, which is even easier on the wallet.

Re: So, Why Am I Not Fishing?
Ouch! It pains me to be working around the house while buddies are out fishing, but snow on the ground. That's hard to take. My mood coach is currently chilling in the fridge.

Re: The Sierra Bright Dot
Interesting. I've never fished in the Sierras. If it works well on the Yuba hopefully it's be useful down on tribs to the Owens River.
