Putah Creek used to be good. Haven't been there in a while and I hear it's suffering from a mudsnail infestation. Give this guy a call http://www.putahcreekflyfishing.com/

Thers always the Upper...

I've seen the photo questioned on a few other sites. Apparantly the source of the article is the California Dept of Fish and Game.

Can't imagine why they would fake a photo other than to increase...

Just picked up a batenkill 3/4, english made, with a spare spool on ebay for $60. I also have a G Loomis venture 3 that I picked up a while ago. Both are very solid reels for a 3/4 wt.

Contact Kevin Ladden, a local guide out of Ludlow. He can steer you in the right direction.

I don't fish the middle much, but on the upper... eggs and legs is the theory. Otis bugs/Agent Orange, glo bugs, Glue eggs and Ice nymphs all have a spot in my box. You picked a great year for...

Eggs and legs is the local theory in S. Oregon. Girdle bugs, egg patterns and ice nymphs or other smaller nymphs. I've also had good luck with a simple bead head with palmered marabou in various...

Or here is a link to Dave Roberts site... http://home.earthlink.net/~rogueguide/

Dave Roberts or Steve Godshall are both excellent Rogue River (fly) fishing guides. Call as early as you can, both stay pretty booked all season.

Pretty much what Avalon said.... definitely use barge cement. You can get the soles off, stitched or not, with a sharp knife and/or a heat gun. What I usually do is to use the old pair(Western...

Well worn and says it all....

What Chuck said! It even makes these guys feel bigger than they are...

Yeah, I still kick myself for letting that one go. Flyrods and muscle cars alike, go figure :(

Well,
I lined it up with a DT4 and took it out to some small water this weekend. I must say I'm pretty impressed with it. Even for longer cast over 50 ft. it seemed like it still had some punch in...

I was doing some routine( to me, anyways..) maintenance; cleaning and dressing lines, lubing reels etc. and was just wondering what is eveyone using for line dressing?? I was using a marine product -...

Well, it came in the mail today. I couldn't resist the urge to cast it so I lined it with one of my DT 5 and threw it around on the lawn. Although not as fast as some of the rods I own, I was able...

Bait w;
I like a faster rod for bigger streams. I'm hoping this will help my boy get into casting and serve as a small stream( 15ftmax) rod for me. My original ? was about overlining it. I'm sure...

Thanks f&t, that's the direction I was leaning also.

Tyronne,
It's been years since I was in that neck of the woods, but check out Hell's Half Acre, I think it's the Tuolumne near Strawberry? Lot's of Brookies up there.

Thanks LB, I was a proud father that day( of both of them)http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/jdub04/2006-07-19003A.jpg

f&t, I was just trying to get some input from those that own the rod...

Dudley,
Thanks for the input . Good to know that there are some not happy with the rod. Sorry you had a bad experience with it. Just wish you would have listed it in the for sale forum, as I'm sure...

My Daughter (12) can cast my 4 & 5wts just fine. The 3wt was intended for my son(6...he he.. and me :D ). The 4 & 5 are just too long for his arm strength. He does really well playing and landing his...

Thanks Jerry. Had a Brain F@rt, it is the three forks I ordered. My 4wt actually throws a 5DT really well and loads with less line out, but just isn't short enough for some of the places I fish. The...

I just ordered one of these for the kids(ya, right) to learn to cast and for Dad to use on some of the smaller waters. Realizing that this is a completely subjective and relative question, what lines...
