Well its better than being a master-bait fisherman.......

Great Langenbeck hijacks . Way to provide helpful information to his question, I'm sure he was completely unaware that you catch lots of fish on the Rouge.

I have tried many times to get an early...

I know several guys that can attest to running into pods of fish very early this year, also I know of people seeing them on the Trinity really early this year too, makes me think that a lot of the...

I tried to book Hartwick, had a date set for this fall, but he never circled back to confirm and set up payment. This was after trying to book with him last fall and winter ( although I was late in...

you sir are the hole that poop exits.

He had a pulley system that came on the boat, and then a pinch to hold that would jam rope from slipping. The pullys were rigged so the anchor was behind you but the rope was easily accessible by the...

The glass rods are also soft. I casted a buddies over the winter and I enjoy it a lot for skagit casting, you may just have to really really really slow down and let the rod do more of the work. Its...

I have an ODC 1200. I mounted a scotty anchor to my back platform, although my buddy had a a pulley system on his PAC 1200 that I really liked.

Check out the scotty system and you can mount it...

Rio has a really good line recommendation PDF of their website. I think for the z axis you'll need to load the older model rod PDF. When I was beginning spey casting I just bought their recommended...

What is the legnth on the 575 skagit

And on the 363 scandi, is it full intermediate? Or does it have a floating butt section.

Soooooooooo sweet! I want....

Hey I have actually been out with Rossflyguy when he still owned hi Pontoon and trailer. Let me tell you his trailer was sweet. The guy he bought it from made a box out of plywood so the boat sat up...

I'm heading that direction. I'm going to wire in power, but need to save my pennies for deep cycle batteries and a nice inverter. Another reason I did pop up vs pull out storage is you need the...

Sorry funds came through today. Rod is SOLD

Sounds good!

For all others sale is pending.

Several lines worked really well, and several did not. IMO there are two grain weights for skagit and scandi that worked really well, but it was a $$$ process to figure that out :-). I'm more than...

Honestly I wouldn't change a thing. With a shooting head, you aren't really shooting a taper or loop to loop through the bottom guides. You usually start your cast with head out of the rod anyways. I...

Is it float or sink? If its sink, what rate?

:bump: Still available

Good rod @ a decent price, just cleaning out the garage.

OK, so I never posted the conclusion to this rod build or modification. Here is what ended up happening, steelhead season came around and this rod sat. I was experimenting with welding lines and then...

I installed a Switch rod handle on my 9ft 5wt, I cut down a line to make my own custom grain Skagit head. 13ft Skagit, 10 foot of type 3, a cone head Zonker does 50 ft casts with 5 feet of back cast...

A lot of people ( including myself) are also building a DIY sleeping platform in the bed of their truck. The picture is of mine, I just completed it. The benefit of the sleeping platform is that it...

Just as an update, mine came in. Spent 60 Bucks on it and couldn't be more happy. I read it about a week, but I am going to go back and read it again. Its honestly a bargain at twice the price....

I been on the same page for a while too, I rarely fish the American because to me I believe that there is no way it could ever be a self sustaining ( steelhead) fishery. Plus I become discouraged...

I just bought one, tried to find one used. Seems a lot of people refer back to specific pages and or take notes in the book, so there aren't likly to be a ton of used copies out there. Even the used...
