I am now leaning back to a 9ft . . . It's going to be used as all around trout fishing. More nymphs than dries, but there will be nymphing, soft hackle, a little dry fly action etc. Maybe even some...
Thanks everyone . . sounds like I should go ahead and keep looking at the 10 ft rod.
I have been thinking of a new Trout Rod. I mainly fish the White River system in Arkansas. Currently my primary rod is a 9ft 4 wt. I use a 9 ft 5 wt when it's windy or I know I'll be fishing a bit...
As in past years, you guys did a wonderful thing. I have a lot of flies to take to the retreat this year. This year, the retreat is full and we have a waiting list. It's been a good year and you guys...
I got a few packages of flies. Looking good! Thank you. Hopefully more are on the way. I have until Oct 18 to get them in hand so there is still time if you wish to donate.

Just one more note . . . The flies I receive are used at the Arkansas retreat. After the retreat, the flies sent on to future retreats along with the rest of the equipment. When I did this a few...

We need some help spreading the word.
The 2013 Arkansas Reel Recovery Retreat is Oct 22-24 on the Norfork/White River. There are still spots open for men with cancer or that have had cancer. This...
Most (90%) of my Trout fishing is nymphing really. Strike indicators and such. Occasionally some dries and soft hackles.
Anyone fish a Sage One 4 wt in the 10 ft model? I cast one Saturday and liked it. Am considering it for a future summer purchase. I already have 9 ft 4 and 5 wt rods.
If so what kind of reel do...
All,
We had the Arkansas Reel Recovery Retreat this last week, Tues-Thur. It was a great event and the flies were of great help.
Thank you!

Sound great quivira kid! Thank you very much.
We regularly use zebra midges of size 16, 18 & 20's as well. Not sure if those are large enough for you. They dont have to be 22's. I hardly tie any that small :)
I appreciate the effort!

Corvus you should have a PM . .
One set of flies already here! Very nice!
That is actually the rod I am thinking of . . . .
I picked up a Ross Arius 2 for a deal. I think the Ross 1.5 reels are generally 4 wt reels??
I know it's a 4-6 wt reel. I am in need of a new 4wt rod as my wife is going to steal my current 4 wt...
