FL. Sep 19, 2021. #4. Welcome to the forum tiggbigms252 - Not sure what your budget may be, but for a glass creek rod I'd recommend the Epic 370 or 476. I fish the Epic 476 and love it. On small streams, you seldom cast more than 35', usually 15'-25', and at that distance Epic FastGlass2 rods really shine. They offer a rod …Messages. 471. Reaction score. 251. Sep 25, 2013. #2.

A good caster should be able to cast 50' to 60' sitting in a float tube with a 9' 5 or 6 weight. But the reality, as Mojo mentioned, is that one rarely needs to make that cast over 40'. In river fishing, the main advantage of the 10' rod is line control. It allows you to keep less line on the water for a dead drift.

In fact, it took until page 28 to see anything related to actual fishing. 28 pages of clothing and crap. I guess BPS/Cabela's are a "lifestyle company" like Orvis Then there are three whole pages of fishing stuff containing a whopping two fly fishing specific items listed, their own brand reel and a Redington Path II rod and reel outfit for $100.

Light weight but Orvis did a good job keeping enough material to maintain rigidity. It could even be a little heavier. Machine work looks very good. It’s got a great incoming and outgoing sound with the outgoing being a little muted. More drag than any trout reel needs, most of it comes in the last 1/4 turn.Fifth-freedom flights from North America can offer some terrific value when redeeming points or miles.

Some of us live in places where we don't get to "dry fly" fish all day long. We have to do what we can with what we have. I can tell you that in my first 10 years of fly fishing I could dry fly fish all day.

Dec 20, 2021 · 1,544. Location. Boston, Mass. Mar 8, 2023. #16. I have no idea if they're any good, never heard of them until now, but I have enough of a problem with tangling weighted nymph rigs that I am curious. They are $25 for a pack of 10, not $25 each. That's not much more than the price of flies, so maybe they're worth a try.

I also picked up a commando smooth for my FF85 small river steelhead swinging, but mostly for bass and pike, casting big chickens a very long distance rivers and lake fishing, I know it sounds pretty redneck but fishing Mille Lacs for 5lb smallmouth and pike in the 15 lb range wading in the shallows clear sand beaches, or casting out of a …Mar 18, 2023 · Fishing the Kenai penninsula is the least desirable way to fish Alaska, IMO, but likely the best place to go with nonfishing people. Everywhere else in Alaska will not have much, if any, tourist type stuff to do. Drive inland, the roads aren't secrets because there are only a couple of them. Very good content! I was just looking at the post you made about getting it down. I fish Skagit heads with mono running line for steelhead in Oregon and mainly use 10-13 ft.

I'm a big 6wt fan and have a slow action 7'6" 6wt Cabela's CGR glass rod for my small water fishing, a 6wt TFO Axiom II-X for my heavier streamer/bass/carp fishing, and the 6wt Pro II was there as my medium-fast all-around trout rod that also doubled as a great rod for short to medium distance bass fishing when the Axiom II-X felt like overkill.Apr 4, 2018 · 185.

Apr 5, 2016. #6. 8'6 is an ideal rod length for the Driftless, especially if you only have one rod. You're in great shape. 8'6 #4 was my most used rod on the smaller streams but I'd fish a 9'0 on the larger water.CO. Feb 5, 2022. #1. I bought my first Taylor reel. I like the fact that Matt of Taylor is a sponsor to this forum and that he really has an eye for aesthetics at a very reasonable price. I did buy the 4-6 wt Enigma 2.0 in Offshore Blue. Fully machined weighing 4.4 oz and perfectly balancing my T&T Contact 10'3wt with backing and SA DT3 fly line.

I'm low on line cleaner and was thinking of trying ArmorAll (wipes?) as an alternative to the products marketed as fly line cleaner. I've seen it suggested on forums, but I have no idea which ArmorAll product (s) would be suitable for this use.

South of the Catskills. Mar 18, 2015. #16. Hunt, Next to Abel and Hatch most other reels do suffer by comparison. But in trout fishing, as rods get lighter, there is a major need for skeletonized, light weight reels with adequate performances for proper match up and Nautilus and Galvan are two important contenders here.385.

Today, the early Powell bamboo rods easily can sell for $2,000. But fly-fishers form a tightly knit group in which three generations of Powells hold seats of honor. When rods from imported bamboo first started being made in the United States, between 1910 and 1920, most came out of production rod companies.Nov 20, 2019 · MBWCC.

Feb 7, 2014. #1. Been looking real hard at one of these. Thinking about getting one for my Sage ONE 8'6" 4 wt. Since it is a light weight and shorter rod. Always wanted to try a click/pawl reel and this rod will be used strictly for trout on smaller streams so I think this might be a perfect combo. It is the lightest reel made that I know of.I have found over the years that a size 2 or so Crayfish fly on a sink tip line where you hit the bank or structure, let the fly drop to the bottom, make a couple of hard quick strips and pause, let the fly sink back to the bottom, and repeat. I have not found that taking the time to strip the fly back to the boat is productive with crayfish flies.Planned trips (lodging secured) are: early May with the wife on the Missouri, after two days she flies home and my buddy flies in for a few days.

General Fly Fishing Discussion Feb 20, 2019 · For fishing small water in an ultra lite fashion it would be a sweet rod with action similar to today’s Winston B3X. In fact, you might check to see if you can get a 2wt B3X on sale that in my opinion, approximates the flex and action of the Sage 389. I have 2 B3X’s and really like them. My 2 cents. Best, SR.

That far up the Hendricksons will still be around, caddis season will just be starting and you'll likely see some BWOs. For me, I'll be sticking with mostly streamers and wet flies.

I just picked up a 'glass rod I intend to use in the salt: A Fenwick Feralite FF85 (8.5' 7-8-9wt). Compared to the other Fenwick Feralites I use (FF75 and FF806), there is no doubt in my mind it's up to the task. Its action and ability to throw tight loops into the wind are similar to what you'd expect from graphite rods.
