I clean and apply some kind of line dressing on my lines after every fishing trip. Sometimes I do it on the trip if I'm fishing for more than a few days. Lines cast much better clean and float longer and last longer than dirtier lines. I also check to see that the screws are tight on my reels and lu...

Ray, Asking people about what is there favorite fly line is like asking people what is there favorite flyrod. You have all kinds of opinions. I don’t know if they will help you decide what line to buy. The best advice I can give you is try and find the line that works best on your rod and you castin...

Blu,
flyfishing just got way more expensive for you!

Zee sorry to hear about your problems with our immigration people! That just sucks! It is amazing how our government treats people who come to this country legally to work or vacation. They put up all kinds of obstacles and dare you to get through them. People who come in our country illegally are r...

I would like to see some kind regulations that close streams that have C&R wild trout sections, when the water temps get to warm to release fish with a poor chance of survival. Montana has regulations that close streams to fishing when the water temps warm up. They are much more on top of mainta...

Try the Echo Carbon. 4pc rods with a soft tube, great warranty, and cast like a Winston WT. Which means it is a true medium action rod that will load up for close work. $170 is a great price for this rod. I plan on getting on for small stream work, and I'm a diehard Winston freak!

Picking a (only one rod is a no brainier) the Winston 8’ 6” 5wt WT. I could fish that rod all day long. It is great for dry Flyfishing and works super for nymphs. It will toss a size 24 Trico on a spring creek with a light touch, or throw big hoppers 50’ across the river to the far bank in the wind ...

I hope they take care of the problem with your rod. Keep us posted on the outcome. I was checking out one of there new glass rod myself. I would be bummed to hear that they are slow in taking care of problems like yours.

Blu,
Enjoy your time off.

To bad they didn't cut their hands with all the broken glass laying around!

Airel, Now your fishing for Bass what's next, Carp. No you already do that. Next thing you’ll be on the beach fishing for halibut and Surf Perch. Oh well whatever tugs on your line.

Rick,
Try one made out of silk thread.

My favorite backpacking gear? That’s an easy choice, a Serpa!

In a totally unrelated matter, I'm going to be rich! I just sent a few bucks, well, ok, my life's savings, to the widow of a Nigerian oil minister. In return, I'll make millions, I can't wait. Sorry to hear about the address book. Scammers and spammers are everywhere these days. If I had any life's...

Check out the Echo Carbon. I cast the 6'6" 3wt 4pc next to a Winston Wt 3wt 6' '6" and for the money $169. you can't go wrong, and thats with a life time warranty and tube. They have other size's.
