I use an old ski pole with a tether to my vest.
Works great and if I bust it, well there is the other half of the pair I got for $10.
Worked great on the NPlatte in Saratoga and other water I...

The best thing I have found to lubricate my fly reels is Phil Woods Waterproof Bicycle Grease. This stuff rocks! It repels water and is super slick.
Check your local bicycle shop and grease it...

Mantis is prolly right.
I do need a 1wt rod to go with the reel and line I already have, but outside of tippet stuff, leaders, maybe some hooks, cigars, bourbon, and gink I think I've got it all....

Well, surgery was Monday afternoon, I came home Tuesday morning. I am in a pretty monster sling for four-weeks on a 24/7 basis.
Pain was awful yesterday, but easing off today. Doc said about 9 weeks...

I have a CFO I and CFO 123 and think both are the best reels I have ever fished.

Thanx for everyone's comments.
I fished last Sunday and kept my elbow against my torso and still managed to land four spunky browns in Clear Creek.

Just found out that I need rotator cuff surgery to repair my left shoulder. Trouble is I cast with the left wing.

If, no make than when, you fall in the river and stumble to the bank, take the top part of your waders down and empty the water before you release the belt! Nothing like having multi-gallons of cold...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I use Phil Wood Waterproof Bicycle Grease on my CFOs. Find it at a good bicycle store. It repels water and you only need a little bit.

I like a Balance Bar in the morning and maybe a piece of string cheese. For lunch a handful of peanuts and some smoked turkey breast dipped in Gray Poupon. In the afternoon, whatever I put in the...

I would check eBay for the orginal Battenkill or check your local ff shop for one that might be on sale. It is pretty bullet-proof and you should be able to find one to meet your budget.
