Anyone considering a 5, 6, 7 weight spey should talk to Gary Anderson about his new NOVA series. steve

Hi Jim, Just spent 30 min on a full line review for your rod as Meiser, Anderson and I would do it. However the the post would not go thru. If this makes it in. you may call me. steve...

The switch rod in the Putnam video is from Anderson Custom Rods, a super rod builder.The drop down seat is Gary's own design and is produced only for him. steve

The quanities for a production run at RIO will not be financially practical. Not enough interest in long belly lines. I am working on a production run of front tapers that allow me to marry them up...

I custom build 700 lines a year, mostly for Bob Meiser. We have a process that we go thru that creates a "RECIPE" for every rod, intended purpose and caster's preference. If you would like to call...

The DVD is great but Putnam LIVE is even better. In 2 weeks Jeff will be up here in Southern Oregon for the Two Hands at Touvelle Clave. He speaks to the Rogue Fly Fishers Wed nite the 15th, lessons...

If you are new to full length spey lines and looking to get into a short belly #8 (about 55 ft) the Vector from Lee Davison will make you look like a champ real fast. steve

Bill Keene has posted a nice flyer about our clave in this forum. It is the title below this one. Hope you can make it steve

NCL, I was one of the presenters from Southern Oregon, along with Gary Anderson and Bob Meiser. It was a very good event and the best water to hold a clave that I have ever seen. Bob Gary and I hope...

I build a custom scandi and a skandit spey line for the 8110 z axiz. The line can be configured for either a head or complete line. The scandi finishes with a poly system (included) and the skandit...

Paulo, I will send you a PM later today. Steve

Paulo, I work with Bob and Gary, engineering and developing prototype blanks. I could produce a blank for you but would need to fully understand your casting needs and style. Call me or send an...

Jim, Call me and we can discuss the different ways to design your line system. steve 541-840-2594

SHig, Well done, you have built a very nice rod. I would be happy to develope a line recipe for that rod, similar to the process I do for Meiser. There is a limit to how much of a fly you can throw...

Rick J, I like what you have done with the Fisher and you are right about the 1085 being a great rod for the Klamath. Gary Anderson and I have written a line recipe for this rod, not that it...

The 10'8" switch blanks are smooth casting, med fast, with a little more tip energy than classic scandi and they are single hand sizes, not spey sizes like Beulah or Meiser. The 1085 is meant for...

It is my experience as a custom rod builder and my involvement in graphite engineering that yes, most casters that prefer a particular style in single hand, have a similar preference in 2 hand...

The elixir lines are nice tapers, however they have been designed specifically for a particular Beulah rod. The 7/8 was developed for a 12'7" and if your rod is a foot longer it is not ideal. The...

Ted, Certianly a 2-3 inch wet fly can be at the limit of some scandi lines. I have been building a SKANDIT (scandi,skagit blend) head for Meiser that his clients are raving about. Send me an email...

Ted,

I am very interseted in why you preferred Scandi to Skagit, please express what you found. I think it is great that you were given the oppertunity to try various methods, what a great way...

Unless you are trying to cast T-14 tips to deliver a massive fly, please consider the Scandi line/head ( 32.5 feet @ 446 grains) developed specifically for that rod by Gary Anderson. It can be...

Karry is correct but misleading, all switch rods are too short to throw short, mid, long belly "traditional" spey lines, but can throw scandi and compact skagit lines in a spey style terrific. The...

If your rod is the 1086-4 Batson, then Gary Anderson makes a custom Line or head (casters choice) for that rod. Gary can build it as a floater or as a multi tip with his new ZINK TIPS, any length,...

Gary has a new switch seat that could be retro fitted to your rod. It has a 2 inch single hand fighting butt that unscrews and drops down 3 inches and then retightens, making the rod 3 inches...

Just 2 weeks, Sunday Sept 20th, Gary Anderson will put on another spey clave. Jeff Putnam will be a featured speaker with Demo, along with Al Burh, George Cook and several others. This will be...
