    When they took out the Elwa, steelhead returned past the dam (after it being there for about a century), and were seen redding up, after a few years. Nature is incredibly resilient if you leave it...

    The ELT 1144 is the upgrade to this rod, and at MSRP it was twice the price. And, quite honestly, it isn't twice the rod. Some prefer the NV2 to the ELT.

    Guides around here have settled around $600 a day, and honestly, I think it's pretty unsustainable if you plan on making it a career. It's probably going to 650 or 700 within a year or two. It's just...

    I know water hasn't been great, but how has the boat treated you? Any good trips that you've taken to christen the boat?

    You bet you can! If it's something tied up to be used for fly fishing, you can swing it!

    The Sept 13/14 swing day is a killer deal. If I didn't have to work (I'm seriously considering calling in sick so I can go) I'd have scooped up this up.

    Sounds cool man. I don't have a drift boat, but I do have a two man raft that I use up here in NorCal. I can't make you a trout fisherman using a bobber, because I've pretty much sworn that type of...

    I had a 10 fish day with Brian on the T last winter, swinging. Having a fish porpoise on a skated fly beat out those 10 fish. I still dream about it.

    We must have missed each other. I was out in my big green Outcast Striker. Wave, "Hi" if you see me! I never see anyone else swinging on the Yuba.

    Is it really worth fishing, even for double digits, if you're bumping lines with 5+ other anglers? That just sounds like a nightmare to me.

    Can I take it on a test drive on the Feather from about, let's say, 7am to about 5pm? Just to make sure it really works and fishes. You know, it's important to know these things.

    Salt fishing is a different monster I'm no expert on, but if you've ever been steelheading, your mindset really isn't equipped for it.

    I'm about to throw a snorkel on and scout ahead because I'm pretty sure that I'm swinging through empty runs.
