Welcome Bent Fin!
Glad to see you came out of the closet and decided to join us. :wink: BTW-very nice first post too. From Sunny Southern California.

MikieFinn,
Those trout in the pictures you posted look like stockers to me. Department of Fish & Game feeds the stockers Purina Fish Chow pellets. These pellets along with growing up in a cement...

I have a Ross Colorado Co-0 on my Sage 279LL and a Ross Gunnison G-1 on my Sage 379LL and Sage 389VPS-light. I can see why you like the Ross Colorado! :D My daughter has a Redington 2/3 CT Reel with...

I'll second the Ross Reels and their customer service and warranty is second to none! But that does not help you out, sorry.

I concur with flybinder and would add two more sites:

Bob Marriott's FlyFishing Store

Sierra Trading Post

I prefer to support my local flyshop but there is a very limited one 55 miles away...

I talked to a Sage rep about the action of their new ZXL. He told me that the ZXL series is closer in action to the old LL series but not as fast as the med-fast action SLT series. Basically the...

Thanks for the reminder Andrew! I will always remember those who have served in the military past, present, and future. :D In fact I'll be visiting my father and mother who are buried at the...

Rambo,
I'd have to agree with Gnu Bee Flyer's post. It would be very helpful if we knew what type of fish you're going to target and what type of waters. You're going to get many posts on this...

The answer to your question is a personal preference! With that said I personally prefer the uplock seats. To each his own. Good-luck!

I'd also like to thank-you from the bottom of my heart to all the men and women who served in the military in the past, present, and future! May God bless you all! Take-care.

I have friends that pack a gun when they go fishing because of either mountain lions or shady characters. I for one have never pack a gun. I've also fished some shady places where one time I got...

I usually fish the Lower Owens River Thanksgiving weekend but unfortunately I won't be able to go this year. Maybe next year.

I've caught some "black" trout in a small mountain creek that was full of black volcanic rocks. I just assumed the trout just adapted to their environment. I caught them on small dry flies so I'm...

The [url=http://www.bobmarriottsflyfishingstore.com/FAIR_Home.aspx:ecddc]Bob Marriotts Annual Fly-Fishing Fair[/url:ecddc] in Fullerton, California is on Saturday, November 17 and Sunday, November 18.

I'd also suggest you give Ross' Customer Service a call and ask an expert. They may have you send it back to be fixed and it will be fixed. Good-luck!

I've tied white woolly buggers and shad imitations for striper bass fishing in reservoirs out here in So Cal. I've heard these patterns work well on the Lower Kern River on the fottball size trout...

That's one thing I dislike Cabela's! The one year warranty on most of their products. That's why I prefer to pay a bit more for better warranty products. I bought a pair Chota SLT Plus and after 1...

Congrats on your first grandchild! She's a cutie and a keeper!

I don't want to get into a "which vise is better" argument but ALL of my experience with Renzetti customer service has been excellent.

Lily Renzetti once responded to a question I emailed their...

She's definitely a keeper! Congratulations!

Rambo,
I hike a lot of small trout streams. I'll usually hike between 3-8 miles. That's why I prefer a hydration fly-fishing pack for access to water immediately. I have the...

I haven't tied on my Danvise for about 7 years now. That was one of three things I did not like about it. The other two were I did not like the rotary freature/adjustment and there was never enough...

The smallest fish I've caught was a 1" RBT on a 18 Parachute Adams! When I set the hook he became a flying fish! :lol: I had to go through the brush to find him. He was C&R successfully.

HD,
I think a 3wt 7'6" SLT is an excellent rod to compliment that Sage 486LL. With that said, if you are fishing small brushy streams with overgrowth the 376 is the ticket. But if you are fishing...
