Rod is sold please delete. Thank you
I assembled this rod for a friend and glass is not his cup of tea. This rod is an 8' 3 piece 5 wt. glass rod, built on a Blue Halo second generation blank. The blank is a transparent blue/ gray color...
Dave,
WOW, that was a great day of catching. I will agree with Uncle Jesse those are nice looking stockers.

Of the 50 million or so people who fish in the US only 3-5 % fly fish. It is a niche sport. I live in southern California and fish the Sierras and have seen a slight decline people fly fishing in the...
Mike,
This April will be 5 years of having my left knee replaced. Best thing I ever did. I am pain free and was able to get back to a normal life. I hike, wade, mountain bike and work out at the...
Jim, I have never joined and never will join a fly fishing club for all the reasons you stated. I have always found that fly fishing is the most EGO driven form of fishing there is. Over the years I...
Dave, hello. Your inbox is full. The 10' 5 wt. is on its' way to you. You should have it in a few days.
Thank you, Lanny
Larry, glad you really like your new rod. I cast Circa 8'9" 5 wt several weeks ago and yes it is a very nice rod. It was really nice to really feel the rod load and unload. I am a big fan of the Rio...
As always Steve very nice work. I just put together a Quickline 10' 5 wt. for tubing and bobber fishing. I can not believe how nice this rod is for a $75.00 blank. I really wanted a Sage 99 5 wt. but...
I like Fluorocarbon tippet for midge fishing on lakes and it does seem I get bit more with fluoro than mono tippet. But I am tried of buying 3 or 4 spools of fluror tippet and spending 50 + dollars...
I got a chance to cast this rod today and was really impressed. First of all the blank diameter is so small and the overall weight of the rods was amazing. I think the rod weighs just a tad over 2...
I see that the Winston GVX rods as well as the Redington CPX, Classic Trout series and the low end Sage rods are being closed out by several shops. I guess these series being discontinued? It is hard...
I just watched a video for this new series of Sage rods. They are suppose to be medium action rod that is close to a glass or bamboo action. Per the video the blank in this series flexs into the...
Therer is a custom built Winston Ascent 8' 3 wt. for $120.00 in the for sale section. The builder looks like he did a very nice job on this rod. Really can't go wrong for the price.
Hello,
I recently assembled a TFO BVK 8' 3 wt. and took it panfishing yesterday. I like this rod allot. It handles flies up to size 10 with ease and is a real smooth, easy casting rod. I caught some...
Hello:
If anyone out there enjoys stillwater and nymph fishing as I do and is looking for a 9'6" to 10' rod, and do not want to spend $700 or more for Sage, Orvis or Loomis you might want to look...

As others have stated there is a market for $900.00 graphite fly rods. Fly fishers compared to other types of anglers, will always pay top dollar for what they to preceive to be the best products on...
I see Winston has a new 5 piece rod that sells for $895.00. WOW!
T&T has always been bad about their warranties. I bought a 9' 5 wt. Horizon when that series was first introduced. The cork on it was crap. After several outtings the grip began to fall apart. I sent...
Joe,
I am sure those flies wil catch crappie. The baby dolls look like bait fish/ minnows, the crappies favorite food. One of my all time best producers for crappie is a size 10 Hares Ear.

Rich,
I do really like the stillwater thing. But you are right, tubing is a big production. When the water temp/ weather permits I always tube in swin trunks. Living in Southern California there...
I have been fly fishing for many years now and can't remember when I fished a stream or river. I was telling a friend yesterday I really prefer stilllwater fly fishing over fishing a stream or river....
This fall I picked up a LU 7'9" 3 wt. at 25% off. It is a wonderful rod, cast as smooth as silk and it is a blast for small to medium size trout, bass and panfish. My only compliant is the really...
I mainly fish lakes out of a tube. Years ago I had a Scott G 10' 5 wt and did not like it. It was allot of work to fish, it was slow and tiring. So for years I used nothing longer than 9'. Last year...
