I can only speek for the Sage Fli. I got it in a 5wt 9'. Its my my favorite rod (I have quite a few) and I was very selective when I purchased it. I tried many rods (some much more expensive) and...

As others have mentioned, these loops can be problematic. I have given up on them after two failures. However, they may work well for you. Be particularly careful not to scortch the flyline when...

I have fished, camped and hiked in both the Golden Trout Wilderness and the Ansel Adams Wilderness in CA. There are pack stations as well. I love to hike but I usually go with my family and that...

Thanks for all of your insights. I too pinch the barb with the back of my forceps for smaller flies and the inside (near the hinge) of my needle nose pliers on larger ones. I tried to file one once...

I apologize in advance for what follows but I can't resist commenting on this as it is on of those things in life that peeves me.

I have been fishing all barbless hooks this past year as I tend to fish lots of special regualtions areas and do not want to try to decifer which flies are barbless and which are not. I have not had...

There are two types of Korker wading shoes. One is made a little more robust and costs around $130 and the other costs around $80. If I recall correctly, the more expensive one comes with a plain...

This is a sad story. Tailwaters have made me nervous since I had a close call. I learned my lesson on the Little Red River. The water was rising fast and my ford had turned into class III...

I don't buy all of my... (insert any retail item here) from only U.S manufacturer's. Its impossible! There are so few choices.
I don't suggest that those who don't buy U.S. made products...

I just moved from Houston. I spent 6 years there The Guad can be real disappointment at times. I used to travel to Arkansas to get my fix, but even then it was hard to really enjoy fishing...
