We got back to the RV park from a necessary trip home and yesterday I fished a hike to beach just up from the park. Only fished about 2 1/2 hrs. from noon 'til 2:30. Landed two stripping a...

Pretty stiff wind today from the North. Me & the doggie hit Separator beach for a few hours this afternoon. Landed a couple and had a couple LDR's stripping the tadpole. Zilch on the indie. Sizes...

Bob,
I've got several switchers but at the Mid I'm using an Echo SR 6 wt. and a Cabela's LSi 11 ft. 7 wt. They're both inexpensive entry level rods but cast very nicely and take a beating. I've...

Thanks for the report. I'm staying at the lake in my trailer. Fished the last two days for 4-5 hrs. and it has been good. Stripping a white/chart tadpole & bugger combo has worked the best. Had...

Another vote for the Rio Scandi body. Will throw sinking versileaders and pretty big flies. Casts like a laser and cuts thru wind but lands lighter than a skagit. Lots of good skagit lines like the...

I still love my Sage LL 7'9" #3 wt. It has not been used for some time but it will be buried with me. They say you can't take it with you when you go, but what if they're wrong!

I've had good luck on my 6 wt. 12' 6" spey rod with a Beulah Elixir scandi and especially a Rio Scandi body, both 400 grains.
You can get the Rio Versi Tip combo with 4 tips but it's pretty...

Commando heads work great with single handed rods and will jack t-tips, versileaders and Mow's. OPST's line chart shows a 325 gr. line at 15 ft. for an 8 wt single hander. Go with their chart...

I've had a 250gr Commando head since they hit the scene. Used mostly on 5 & 6 wt conversion single hand rods. It will throw light MOW tips and versileaders just great. A slowed down sweep and...

I have the older SOG Powerplier and a Leatherman Juice S2 that are both excellent tools. But the Micra or a Swiss Army knife get much more actual carry and use during fishing trips.
