Gitt has pointed me at San Jose Fly Casters, thanks!

I clearly need help, while I'm happy with my casting on 3-6wt with stuff like Rio Gold/Grand, 8/9wt with a sinking striper line is so...

OK, cool, I didn't know about those ponds, I've always fished the perc ponds. I'll give it a try this Saturday.

Thanks!

Yep, still have one. I grew to hate it because it was so heavy, I found the little Lamson LP 1 and never looked back.

If someone has a hankering for an automatic reel (and I can find it) I'll...

I know those ponds, pulled some bass out of there. However, every time I've gone I'm the only guy around with a fly rod. is there some particular time when people tend to fly fish there?

Great...

I'm trying to learn how to cast a striper line and I'm sort of getting it and sort of not.

On the plus side, I've managed to cast almost 100% of a RIO striper something, I can look it up, it's ...

Will do.

BTW, I'm getting the hang of that striper line. I've never cast anything like that, 3-5wt was my jam. The striper line,
like you said, changes your casting dramatically. What I'm...

Thanks Bill. If I get up that way I'll talk to Andy. I don't suppose there is an Andy clone in the the South Bay or Santa Cruz area? It's a hoof for me to get up there :(

I recently bought a Sage Vantage 8wt and I'm trying to get some line for
it. I don't know if it wants to be overlined but I suspect so, I've been
casting a 350gr striper line for practice and it...

I own both and don't care for the click and pawl.

The click and pawls I own are:

Lampson LP 1.5
Ross Colorado LT (I will give it that it is super light)
Forbes (even more light weight)

Add me to the list of people who would love a Guides forum, seems like a no brainer.

I bought a used Ross evolution 3.5 that came with RIO striper DC sink tip 26 ft 350gr.
I'm trying to match it up with a rod and then go play with stripers (I know nothing about them, a guide...

Yep, bought it at your shop. Sage Vantage 3wt in 7 feet. Amazing little rod, true to line wt, casts very well, great for small pocket water.

If that Ross #3 spool is for the original evolution I'll take it.

I have 3: your elk hair caddis, parachute adams in 14 & 16, hopper in 12 & 14. Those are for the sierras and have worked for me for years.

I'll sprinkle in a royal humpy, some other stuff, but if...

Long shot but I really like my 590-4 after I overlined it with Rio Grand WF6F. Looking to add a striper rod to the quiver.

If it is her and she's reading, I'm sorry for your loss. I didn't know your husband, but you and he seemed like an awesome partnership. Which makes it harder for sure, but wow, what a great time...

There a couple on ebay right now.

Once I learned to overline the 590-4 Z axis I grew to love it as well. Though I sort of wish I had a 490-4 (that behaves like a true 5wt) and a 690-4 (that is like a true 7wt). In fact I think the...

If you like that rod with 5wf, oh, my, lord, are you going to love it with rio grand 6wf. It's stunning how much better it is.

I found this:

which has this info, I'm wondering who could update this to the current time and in...

Do you overline yours? I have a 590-4 and I run Rio Grand 6 WF on it (which is closer to 6.5 weight). That makes that rod shine though it's annoying
when I want the rod to actually be delicate. ...

Or this one that is at $550 buy it now, looks sweet:

I can understand why you want this rod, I have one, I overline it with the old Rio Grand #6 WF line and it's extremely...

I want to do some larger fishing, I want a 7wt for streamer fishing for bull trout and mouse fishing for bigger trout, and a 9wt for fishing for stripers in the delta.

The 7wt is my immediate...

Hi folks,

I'm sorry, I had some health problems I had to deal with (turns out I've got arsenic poisoning, still trying to figure out the source) and we're taking the kids to Europe tomorrow. So...
