Hello all,
Looking for input on which brand and sink rate density of intermediate line to get. Here's some background to help with the input. This is for a 5wt rod/reel set-up (10' rod) and will...

It's been a while since I've posted on this board; however, the subject caught my interest. I've not purposely targeted salmon on the AR and unintentionally hooked-up with one while pursuing...

I've been out about 6 - 8 times thus far this season using both swinging and indicator methods and not so much as a bump. It's been frustrating to say the least; however, I'm not ready to throw in...

I've signed-up twice before for lesson's on his website and never heard back and thus not motivated to try a third time for fear of striking-out. Best of luck.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

Hi Bill--
Can you clarify your comment below and offer a few suggestions?

"After we get some rain I would get out on most Valley rivers somewhere below the first dam from the ocean and go after...

Thank you all for your input. Sounds like 5 yrs old is too young and best to take Diego out this coming spring to a spot that has plenty of bluegill. I'll likely get him a Zepco or comparable combo...

I'm a proud grandpa of a five year old grandson - Diego. I have just over one year of fly fishing experience under my belt and not the most proficient...

Hi Angus T--
First, I'd like to welcome you to fly fishing and this message board community. I was in your same shoes a little more than a year ago. I agree with those that have commented that the...

Sounds like an incredible day. I fished Truckee last weekend with a couple buddies for the first time and stayed at Silver Creek camp site. Brought four to the net on a full day of fishing and one...

I figure I'd get more views and posts on this thread by luring folks with a catchy title like "strippers". Although some of the mother hen Stripers we saw swimming by the boat looked big enough to...

Received a wonderful 50th birthday experience stripper fishing with Charlie Gonzales and Joe. Went on Charlie's guide boat and spent a full day on the AR and caught my first of two strippers - it...

Hi Charlie--
You're a true gentleman..., I'll be honored to fish with you and am awestruck with such a gracious offer. I'll send you a pm on some possible dates. This is way too cool.

Hi Bill--
I'm a fellow wader and have not had the time, due to work, to explore the AR. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of wading spots on the AR for stripper.

After close to seven month lay-off and numerous physical therapy sessions...the bones are finally healed. I've been back in the water a couple times and anxious to pick-up where I left...

Hi Charlie--
Glad to see you're staying busy. I always look forward to your posts and pictures. Hope to see you out on the water soon.

On a late rainy Sunday afternoon just before Christmas I went out solo stalking steelies along a stretch of AR and experienced an calamity. While working a nymph moving along the river edge my left...

Thanks again Mike. Yes, we all have a different sense of feel, likes and dislikes on how a rod reacts and delivers with own unique casting styles. I plan on demoing the rod next weekend and will...

Hello--
Thanks all for the input. Some valid points...I'd didn't think about the warranty and previous year model new rods discounted and within range of a couple hundred bucks. Hairstacker (for...
