Thanks for the offer, but I'll sit this one out.
Can I play too? Pattern TBD, although I'm leaning toward Shenk's White Minnow.
A Cortland combo bought early 1980's. Consisted of a Cortland Crown II 7.5' 5/6 weight 2 piece rod, Cortland Rimfly reel, and 333 DT 6wt line. I recall paying less than $40 for it. Still have it and...
York, PA
Favorite waters: (in order)
Letort, Big Springs, Falling Springs, Penns Creek, and a few un-named brook trout creeks.
I really should start fishing some of the closer waters; the...
A few years ago I found a flybox along the Yellow Breeches. Luckily the owner had tagged it with his name and address and I mailed it to him. A week latter I received a package of nicely tied flies...
How do you think those bamboo guys can cast a 9' rod all day?
I fish the Susquehanna for smallies, its hard to beat a Clouser most of the time.
Although I also like throwing Shenk's White Minnow, Deceivers, and buggers. Don't think you'll see much action...

Thanks to all of you. I'll check out the options.
Changes to the special regs areas that would allow barbed hooks, wading and night fishing on the Letort; allow year round harvest on the delayed harvest areas. What are they thinking? They...
I did a quick search in the archives on info for sliding ring reel seats and like the look of the Cortland. Can't find a source, anyone know of one? Want to use it on a bamboo banty I plan to...
When you get the rod let us know how you like it.
To answer your question, I've cast a buddies Blonde Bastard, seemed pretty sweet for the price. He ordered his on the initial introduction, got...
A size 14 Ausable Wulff, candy to a brown trout, and irresistable to a native brookie.
I'd check out one of the Blonde Bastard's.
