Has anyone tried the Echo, (Tim Rafeff's) micro practice rod, MPR? I guess I should ask, has anyone used one of these?
Thanks to everyone for the opinions and advise, it is much appreciated.
Thanks everyone.
JohnScott I checked out the link as well. Tks. I also sent Sage an email and a staff member got back right away saying "That is perfectly ok. You will only lose performance...
Thank you. Will going up a wt size to 9wt line increase casting distance? I can't believe 40 or 50 grams difference would make a huge difference in lenth. What about the size of the fish, will the...
Can one go up a line weight on a rod without problems? Example; can you use a 9 wt line on an 8 wt rod? The reel is an 8/9 weight.
thank you
I'm an idiot. Gosh, I'm so tired of being the butt. I have a low I.Q. and I'm sorry to bother you.
The Sage 3400 was about $600, I can get it for 285.00. The Sage 890-4 is about $200.
I think the price is ok, I was wondering about the performance.
It's an 8wt rod
Thanks!

Thank you Joe welcome and for the receipes, my wife has selected quite a few and I'm looking forward to testing them.
My equipment list appears to be getting bigger. Ha. Yeah I was thinking my Nikon D70 might be a bit cumbersome out there. Looks like I might have to draw up a "Dad's birthday wish list" and leave...
Thanks for the welcome. You're right Jim, I have to get "geared up" and that's more than thought provoking, if not a bit bewildering.
Although I've spent most childhood and adult free time...
I'll be happy to put it together as you guys suggest. Not sure how entertaining my writing will be but I'll try to convey the experience and put together some pictures that relate. That will be a...
Yes sir, I'll do just that. Thank you.
The float trip consists of 10 days, 7 nights on the river with 6 full days of fishing for Lenok, Greyling and of course the monster Taimen. I've read that...
Thank you all for the kind welcome.
I've got some boning up to do as a few friends and I have a trip planned to Mongolia to fish for Taimen next year.
My partners have told me I can come if...
Just a note to the veterans of this site and boards; thanks for the great tips and info you unselfishly share.
After 55 years of fishing I've just discovered fly-fishing for myself and a new...
