    What line weight are you looking for? The Orvis Battenkill and new 2014 Orvis CFO are nice reels, but the largest size they come in (model III) only accommodates up to about a WF5 line with backing....

    Don't fish for trout if the water temp is over 70 unless you are keeping them to eat. The stress of catching them is enough to kill them when the oxygen in the water is that thin, even if you...

    Unfortunately, anything that is long enough to hold a rod and large enough to hold the other gear and clothing you describe is going to be big and bulky. I have found a 32" or 36" rolling duffel to...

    I would wade carefully into the middle of the stream at a point where the fish aren't, and then slowly work my way upstream casting 20'-35' (to avoid getting too close to spook fish I don't see) to...

    Carbonite was earlier than those other models. I've got a Carbonite 8' 5/6 weight from 1991, and it is a sweet rod. I didn't realize they made any with nickel silver reel seats, though. Mine is...
