I have the 7 piece 8 weight. Haven't caught a thing on it (came close Tuesday) but cast's well. The 5 piece 5 weight won rave reviews in the June 2000 Flyfish America magazine, though.

Better think Godzilla version of Micro-Fibetts for the tailing.
This is one for those with much more experience than I, but I don't think you will do better by overlining the rod a weight.
From what little that I know, and it's quite little, I would think that...
I agree and disagree with Greg F.
The 3 Forks for the salt is too soft. I know that they are expensive, but something akin to the FT or LST would be better suited.
You asked for it. You got it. Toyota!!
All this talk about the Nor-Vise (and I watched his video on YouTube) and I just might have to retire my Renzetti.
Ever since watching his video, I have harbored serious thoughts of retiring my...
Never been injured fishing...Lucky I reckon. But two injuries come to mind. 1st was climbing on the rafters of the garage with step-brothers (age about 12). When time to come down I was dangling from...
If there be perch in that lake, that should work good. An old game warden told me when you see them tiger musky cruising the surface, they're on the hunt. Good luck.
Reminds me of a dragonfly nymph.
I'm interested, but I have a few commitments that wouldn't allow me time for anything due in the next two or three weeks.
But if you'll have me, I thought that I could tie up a Craig's Night time.
In the infamous words of Yosemite Sam...."I hate you".
Absolutely one gorgeous fish.

I've been thinking of something like this very thing, except I would rig it with a release like on a planer board to haul my line out further than I could cast it, especially if wading is outta the...
Does any one have the book "Flies, Best One Thousand" by Randle Stetzer?? On pages 91-105 are some flies, but not being familiar with Salmon/Steelhead flies, was wondering what would fall into the...
flybinder..That is a unique way of getting your new tying table to the cabin.
I have definitely been interested in targeting Walleye with a fly rod. There is a rabbit fur leech pattern (think it's in Jack Dennis Tying with Friends) that I believe would be a killer on Walleye....
Being a user of chewing tobacco, I save the empty containers. If you don't use the stuff, but know someone that does ask them to save the empties.
They are plastic nowadays, and quite durable.
Call me stupid, but when reading the pattern for the Gordon, it don't jive with the photo. For instance, the bit of claret-colored swan? in the tail, but all that is mentioned for the tail is the...
Being a card carrying member of Cabela's (been with the company for 18 years), I personally like the input about "my' company. Whether it be good, bad or indifferent.
Having been without internet...
Being the non-conformist that I am, it was Ham, taters 'n gravy, sweet taters, green bean casserole, cranberries, pie, etc....Just the wife, two of my boys and me. Even the dog and cat got a small...
No worries there, Nighthawk. You learn to curb your appetite for "goodies". I did...Only problem it took me about 5 years to learn my lesson. Now, after 18 years with Cabela's, it's just like going...
Yes, be sure to respond to the email....I haven't been fortunate enough to win any thing for years, but I want to thank the sponsors for helping keep such a wonderful website up and running. I visit...
Had a GREAT DAY!! We did something that we haven't done before at work for our Customer Service rep's. First, there was a Wild Game Potluck....Wow, what great food!!
Then in another room we had it...
I dunno about high end...Any one that carries Simms or Patagonia or Orvis is high end....Did I say Simms? Cabela's has them now...but at least they don't hold their noses in the air like a couple of...
I found myself re-reading this post several times. I am not the fisherman that I once was due to several reasons, however, I can still tie a mean fly.
PasterEd, another "radical" may be Wally Lutz...
Well, I was close....I have my true name, not my user name on the toe tags. Sorry. But there are xtra for the swapmeister, if that counts for anything.
