Well, I just wanted to thank Dr. Creek for:

1. Informing me of this new site, and

2. After reading his review on the Sage Ultralights, I took my half of my "Stimulus (LOL) Check" and stimulated Sage's bottom line!

On our trip to the GTW opener, the good Dr. was gracious enough to let me give his Sage a go, although I did not catch any fish with it, I did catch the fever for the rod! The delicate action was incredible!

I have three 2wt's and one TFO Finesse 1wt, which is no slouch either, So, I opted for the 0wt!
Now the darn thing is on backorder, and I am already dyin for it, I feel like a kid around Christmas!

Thanks again Doc!
I think your perscription will work wonders!

Well, that is one way to fix a broken 2 wt. :)
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.
