Hi Dave! Good to see you here man...Looking forward to seeing your Colorado fishing adventures..Talk to you soon.. David

Nice fly rod! unique colours as well.. that looks like Chiaki's work.. I remember seeing his first rod he did.. and now he is as good as any rod wrapper I have seen...

That price ($780) for a super fast action rod...No Thanks.. I will stick to a rod that costs hundreds less and actually loads at short distances.. If If I personally had to use it I would overweight it with a line 1-2 line weights heavier than the rod..IMHO...

You got it about right stlhdr...18-24" is about what you will use 90% of the time... one thing I like to keep in mind is with a dropper the longer you get the harder it is to cast accurately and efficiently, and if you are in a brushed in area with a long dropper... it can be a nightmare...but ...

I think Danielsson is the company that bought the loop reels ..Those are exactly like the loops.. with that name... Sweet to say the least

By what you wrote it sounds like you will fit in real nice here Castaway! Welcome...

After guiding on the Kern for 3+ years I can honestly say Guy and Jon are the best guides on the Kern.. And the only ones!...I have fished with Jon Bassett dozens of times, on many different types of waters. He is one of my favorite people to fish with and his understanding and fly fishing skill go ...

I wished it worked now! I need some beads.... Who on this forum runs this? Hopefully they will have it up within a week! I will be a customer...

I just learned a ton from that! Great photos in there as well.. I guess I need a tripod. I am going to go through it again!

Cool hatch! .....I think those are actually european grayling taking those flies....

Thats right Randy! I forgot to mention the cobra large arbors multipliers we got for carpin'!! What were they $70? I can't find them on Ebay anymore....Carp shredded mine.... And yours?

Talking about reels, I have only mid and large arbors in width and diameter..Since the large arbor was finally introduced I have been a fan. I am on the move quickly and I appreciate the line pickup speed a large arbor offers, not to mention fish fighting capability. My dad and I had some old Hardy ...

ya, the triangle with the slot in it.. slide it off the post while keeping the loaded spring in place...then flip that piece over and put back on so the slot is on the other side.....the clicking drag will now be switched...hope this helps.. David

After a couple weeks of construction my new website is up! Tell me what you all think!....Craig with Wild Fly Productions are the artists behind the graphics and web development. I am very pleased with the look and layout of it. I will be upgrading fishing reports of the Eastern Sierra Weekly and Da...

Ok, I have been hearing all kinds of reasons and excuses by friends, family, and my previous employer(some of them pretty outrageous) for my decision to leave my guide position at the Kern River Troutfitter. Sure my previous employer and I had our differences and I am not the first employee to move ...
