Guys,
I don't have access to any Sage Dealers here in MS. I just finished the build of my Sage One 390-4, and I now need a reel to put on it. My problem is the downlocking reel seat will not fit...
Thanks for the help everyone. Ive got some suggestions to research while waiting on a flight.
I am in the middle of building my new Sage One 3wt rod. I am looking for some suggestions for a reel to pair with it. Any suggestions? I plan on using 4wt SharkSkin line, as the blank is very...
Thanks for all the help. Part of my journey as a fly fisherman brought me to making my own rods and now, similar to fly tying, it is hard to fish something I did not build, which is why my wife...
I like a faster rod, and can reach areas other struggle reaching. Since switching to a 3 wt Bingham blank(great inexpensive blank) I have noticed a huge reduction in line breaks, as I tend to fish...
Ok, I posted this on a rod building site, but I want to hear from you guys as well. I make my own rods, but typically don't spend much on the rods I use. My lovely wife basically got me a$400 to...
I use a tactical style pullover face mask that has inserts for warm packs at the ears. Keeps you warm and toasty for 12 hours.
I have the following rods for sale. All were purchased on this site and lightly used. Two are custom built by members of this site. I am now building my own rods, so I have decided to sell any...
I am looking for some closed cell foam for a midge dry fly pattern I want to try. I have the foam craft sheets, but I need something more like a sponge. I imagine a craft store will have something...
This fish was on Saturday the weekend of the sow bug roundup. The weather was perfect.
We got a picture as well before releasing it. Right before we caught this, I helped a young lady fishing past us with some mending tips. She had been casting on the far side of the stream for an...
Are you still having trouble seeing it?
Here is a video of my oldest son bringing in a nice rainbow. This was on Dry Run Creek in Flippin Arkansas, after spending the morning at the sowbug roundup. This was on a 3 wt. rod I had built for...
I actually just did a third coat right over top of the bad coat, and it hardened just fine. I normally do two coats to finish my wraps, feather inlays and label, but the third was a must to fix my...
I did not mix enough hardener into my second coat of epoxy, and the epoxy is still tacky to the touch three days later. Can I put another coat on top to fix this?
I think something with wire might be easy to work, but peacock is a good idea as well. Thanks for the pictures, I will let them get involved in the deicison.
I am taking my family to the sow bug roundup in Mountain Home AR again this year. I've built each of my boys their own fly rods and they are feeling inspired by the upcoming sow bug, and their new...
Pm sent if one is still left.
Here are the two most precious flies in my collection. Sure they look like discarded gum stuck on a hook, but to me they look like something that came off Hans Weilenmann vice. The left one was the...
Welcome Dave, thanks again for the flies! I will be trying them out in March with my family.
David Knowles is the man. He is currently teaching a class at Clemson but it was mentioned during my conversation that he is from Arkansas. I googled him, and he is listed as a professor at the...
I recently was given some Dohiku barbless hooks, and they are beautiful with a much wider gape than Tiemco hooks. I priced the Dohiku, and they are a little expensive, $9 per 25. can anyone...
I got to meet the inventer of the y2k this week while on business in Georgia. He was nice enough to share a couple new patterns with me, which I plan on trying on the White in March for my annual...
Thanks all. YNP is a dream, but I think with the driving, I will wait till I can get away from work for two weeks. Arkansas is where I typically bring the family, they love the sowbug roundup, but...
