Looks like a ginger colored flesh fly that we used in AK.

Thanks for the tips. Hope some fish help out with learning about landing.

Just starting to fish with an 11' switch for steelhead. Landing a fish on a river bank seems like it would be a bit more troublesome than with a 9' rod because the line is further from ones free arm...

The cross hand technique worked, but it was a" gizzard strainer"!

I left the rod outside during a 17 degree night. Tried to pull it apart the next morning. NADA. I will get a friend to help on the cross hand grip method this weekend.

I cannot get the butt and next section separated on my Access rod. I've tried behind the knees and hot and cold treatments to no avail. I'm about to send the rod back to Orvis as a last resort. Is...

I've watched several videos on the voo doo cast. Other than looking rather cool, is there any reason to use this cast if one has plenty of back cast room?

The airlines website should give you enough information to determine what you can carry on. If it will fit in an overhead, I think it will be fine regardless of the material the case is made of. ...

I took my Sage RPL 8wt. out of the closet last summer two weeks before a trip to Alaska. The tip was broken and I don't even know how it happened. $50 and send in the rod. I did not get the old...

Oh, yeah. I forgot about the stepping on part. Sometimes when the line doesn't shoot it is because it's under my foot!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info. I did what I could with cleaning (again) and rubbed on a little Aquaseal. If it works fine, if not I found a new line in my fishing "closet". This line has fished Alaska...

Recently the last 4-5 feet of my GPX WF floater has started to sink. I've pliobonded the nail knot but that didn't help. I think I can see some small cracks in the surface of the line in those...

Is there a general ratio on how the total length of backing compares from dacron to poly type backing, assuming the same breaking weight for each? For instance, if I have a half inch of 20lb backing...

The rod has been replaced. Thanks to everyone with information.

Yes, I am interested in your RPL DarrinG.

I am sending the rod to Sage today and they said the turn around will be 5-6 weeks. I leave for Alaska in two weeks--Boo. I am partial to the RPL action and doubt they can find a substitute. I'm...

The tip broke on mine. I'd like to replace the rod with the same kind.

I use the Orvis MaxKnot in 2x for steelhead. It think it is more flexible that the regular Mirage. Seaguar is pretty good too. That is the extent of my fluoro use.

I'm getting to the point where it is difficult to thread the tippet. I don't like bifocals on sunglasses but need some sort of visual enhancement to make tying on a new fly a less frustrating...

The 8wt RPL is my favorite rod for throwing a GPS floater or sink tip IV. The rod does tend to get overloaded at longer distances so line speed and shooting takes over in those circumstances. It is...

I'm sold on Chota boots. Quick lace system is super fast and support is good. I choose non boot foot waders because it gives me more options, I can have two different boots and maybe two different...

Maybe this bill is a disquised part of the Stimulus Plan. It's working!

I have a fast (Legend Ultra)and a moderate/fast (Sage RPL) 9' 8wt rod. I'm toying with getting a 9'6" Legend because it may help keep more line in the air and may help in mending line on the water....

Does anyone know how the action of the new Imperial line of rods from St. Croix compares to the Legend Ultra? They both are rated as fast. St. Croix just doesn't give much differentiating...
