Don't discount fishing the river. There is excellent fishing there. See if you can work your way to the flat that is left of the bridge (as you go towards the beach) near the grass flat. You will...
I will be right in the City. I have only Friday October 10th. Don't care what I fish for as long as it eats flies.
Howdy all. Long time.
Google did not help much. Anyone aware of any fly guides in or around Quebec City?
Thanks.

Dudley is not wrong. That leader will turn over a big fly like butter. That said there are plenty of blokes using straight 20 and do just fine. Either a hand tied tapered leader or a long straight...
Dave sent a letter to the editor of an outdoor magazine calling them out on a picture of a guy we'll just call J. Notcastsowell. They agreed and sent him a new Helios 5 wt.
No picture of him. Just a picture of the guy throwing that nasty back cast again. How funny is that?
Let us know you lucky dog....

That reminds me of my favorite fishing. High sun and stripers in the surf. Each wave is a magnifying glass to what lurks beneath what is hidden by the sun's glare.
I would do an internet search and see if I could find a 4 or 5 wt Sage SLT. IMHO they are the finest rods ever made. Just right. Not too slow. Not too fast. And pretty.
There are 8' 4 wts and 8'6"...
nay nay nay
I have to fly from Boston to Minneapolis on occasion. They are the only game in that town. Flights are rediculously expensive to begin with. Secondly it costs a fortune to switch a...
My advice is to look at this as an investment opportunity. The same thing happened at an Orvis store near me. I purchased a rod at 60% off and sold it on eBay for about 85% of its value. I wish I had...
I caught my biggest striper of the year on a 5 wt RPLXi. A keeper and then some plus a little bit extra.
It really isn't the "rod" so much as it is the size of the flies and the wind. If...
I agree with Greg. I have a 490-4 SLT (best rod ever IMHO). Just began fishing the mute green version of the SA Trout and think it is fantastic.
If he is fishing for salmon in MI and stripers in RI he would be fishing moving water or he better expect not to catch anything. Can't speak for salmon, but for stripers an intermediate is a good all...
I feel like a bit of a heel. I was very busy in May and did not check in much. I was not aware of HH's passing. Always a gentlemen I was lucky to have lunch with HH, Sue and Stev a few years back in...
I am a huge fan of Sage - both in performance and customer service which I have always found to be second to none. I am lucky enough to own 7 high end Sage rods and love each one of them like...
I have had the 9 wt Xi2 since it hit the market. Fabulous rod.
Just purchased a Rio Outbound Clear Intermediate line - WF-9-I. I have overloaded the rod in the past but once I got used to it found...
Different situations require diff equipment and techniques.
I fished a jetti in Hyannisport this weekend. The weeds were on top and the stripers were down below - 6-10 feet. A floating line was...
I'm told they really lay it down...
Actually I have cast the 7 and though it was spectacular.
Say it ain't so Dave. Say it ain't so!!!
I'll send you some pix from the mad tuna action in CCB as of late and I'll be you might reconsider.....(Not that I don't love fishing for cutts in MT.)

I would have gone with the Lamson. :lol:
Jed makes a good point.
If you ask Jack Gartside he will tell you to use a clear intermediate line and a 7' piece of 20 lb mono or floro. That's it. Who am I to question Jack Gartside?
The following is from Lefty himself:
To build a good inshore leader of approximately 10 feet for an 8- to 12-weight rod, I suggest using a 5-foot butt section of50-pound test. Add a 2-foot section...
you can do worse than the Lamson Litespeed. Some of the older models are closing out at great prices. All in all I'd say one of the best looking reels on the market.
