I've purchased a couple of rods from Dave, and have been more than satisfied. The prices were fair and the service good. What I liked was his willingness to take trades.

I posted into your Wanted Q, but didn't say anything about the reel. I do like mine-gold frame with black spool is kinda cool. It's reasonably light, balancing well on a 5wt, and does appear to be...
I don't think he has the end of the taper in mind. Rather, what I believe he's saying is that if 20' (or 30') of 6wt line will load your 6wt. rod, switching to a 5wt line on the 6wt rod may require...
You guys that haven't fished the driftless aughta. I fished with with spinner and it's a great intro to the area.
aw shucks, THANX
Hey Len: Where are the COWS?
I don't believe you can just ask/say 7wt or 8wt, unless you're asking about the same model. There is just a huge difference between manufactureres and models. For instance a Sage 10wt Xi2 has a great...
My pm is acting up. If you didn't recieve a respone to your pm to me, post it here.
Double-ditto on the Bugger Barn, the best
I don't know the status of cliff swallows, but up this way the State spent a ton of $ building wooden trusses under a 4-lane bridge to provide nesting habitat for some kind of swallow. Apparently it...
Unless you can see the core, the line is fine. Just put a couple of coats of pliobond on the nicks.
Dudley: WOW- does that 10' rod really weigh in at "7/8lbs".
I was on another FF site and they were making fun of the the number of inane questions asked on this site. So I checked it out.
Go to the 4sale board and buy that Tibor Spring Creek for $200
30' of leadcore or tungsten will take 'er down.
The Smith site is really something. Problem is, my AO brown lens tint things sorta brown with a yellow cast, certainly not the blue represented on the site. Great for freshwater, but not for me on...
I'm not sure you can expect any reel to survive not being rinsed off. A sealed drag will help, but there's alot more still exposed. At the very least your line and backing will cake up as will your...
With loop to loop connections, you might try a relatively long surgeons loop, both on the butt section and leader section. Using a softer mono, when connected, they tend to flatten or streamline out...
Ruby's is best described as basic, clean, on the beach, in town, with one of the best staffs around. The rooms are basic with or without air. All have showers. They also run a great cafe that opens...

Just about any smallmouth fly will do. I've also had good luck in northern Ontatio with deceiver-styles in Flo. Chartruese and in bright yellow.
Kaufmans' has a 12"x15" ripple foam patch for $10.25 in their catalog. It has an adhesive back and is designed for application in a boat or canoe.
Why am I missing fish if I'm casting "long distances"? If I can throw it 90', i can surely throw it 30'. It's still fishing and the goal is to throw it where the fish are. The guy who never caught a...
If I understand one plane/two plane, I'd suggest no flyline can be delivered on one plane. Joan Wulff is vertical(but 2 planed) and elbow forward, while Lefty is elbow back somewhere between vertical...
Redfish and trout in Louisiana or Texas would be high on my list if in the US.
