Outside of price, what differences do you see between your TFO Pro 8 wt and your Sage Z-Axis 8 wt?
Is one a stiffer rod than the other ?
I have used them and I like them. They are easy to put on/take off the leader. They also cast well and are very visible.
In general if the conditions warrant an indicator than a Thingamobber is a...
All good information. Thanks much.
I was wondering what grain weight line might be appropriate for an 8 wt. I was thinking a T-14 might be too heavy so the feedback on that is great. I have read...
Good comments and advice. Thanks.
I will make an attempt to try a few different rods out prior to purchasing. Hopefully I will get the opportunity to cast some front loaded lines to get the hang...
I'm looking to expand my fishing horizons to include fishing for Stripers in the "Delta" in Northern Ca. I'm looking to buy an 8 wt rod to throw a shooting head(T-14 or so) to get the flies down into...
CEA:
Your input is appreciated. We all have different likes/dislikes and take different approaches to our fishing.
From where I stand, no one position on this subject is right/correct for...

I fish for my enjoyment also. I don't fish for bragging rights. Got over that when I was younger.
I enjoy the challenge of fly fishing and the time spent outdoors.
Since I'm...
Wow...this thread went better than I thought. The feedback is telling me what I had been thinking all along(but then again I have a tendency to be often wrong but seldom in doubt).
I myself use an...
All great comments and perspective from a diverse group.
The geometry lesson by DG was also helpful and it surely stretched my brain(however I didn't do well in geometry many moons ago).
As...
All interesting comments and thoughts. Good feedback. Thanks.
I try to use judgement when I fish and make adjustments depending on conditions and my actual success rates.
However, the more I...
Question for all you nymphers out there.....
When the general rule is that you place the indicator 1.5 to 2 times the depth of the water, what is the reference point for that measurement.
Is it...
I have gone as far as the top level magnifier reading glasses and also bought the C&F treaders. The threaders have helped me tie on those #18-#22 nymphs.
Next stop will be another eye exam.
I assume that this is a new site. Has a lot o potential, but will need to build up the content...
Everything takes time and I believe the site has some good potential.
I had assumed that the temp was taken at the surface but I never heard one way or another.
It looks like no one really does know when they talk about or hear the Lake Temperatures are X.......at...
Dru:
Great recap of your opening day. Sounds more like some of the realities that we all face time to time.
As far as the leaky wader, I did that routine one opening day in NJ years ago. Raised...
Dru:
Good luck and good fishing.
I won't be fishing today however would like a report on what conditions the streams are in. I know we didn't get much rain and snow this year, so I would...
When they publish Lake Water Temperatures, at what level are they taking the temperature ?
I've always been curious about this.
No extra cash for me. California took my small Fed refund three times over.
Will fish regardless and take my fishing trip this summer to Montana. Sometimes you gotta just dip into the...
I use the Outcast Super Fat Cat. Pricey at $350 but well worth it to me.
Keeps you up out of the water, plenty of storage space, good seats and back rest, very durable, 12lbs, and fills up quick....
Amen to all that has been said.
When I am out in the great outdoors, I thank the Lord for providing me with the opportunity to experience the beauty and splendor that surrounds me. I thank him for...
Hey....everyone can't be retiring... :shock: ....somebody needs to work... :) .oh..I guess that will be me for at least five more years :(
Spinner:
Thanks for the great pics and story..They break up the week and also restore hope that good things are coming shortly...
Joan's video is very good. That long cast looks so effortless..I can cast that far(except it takes me three casts...cast walk 30ft , cast, walk 30 ft, cast walk 30ft.....
I thought her video was...
Anytime spent out on the water makes it a great day. Anytime you catch a fish, it makes it a greater day.
Glad you got out to grab that hour.
