Jim, that’s what I was afraid of with going the 3wt route. Can’t say I have a ton of experience with 20+” trout on the T but I’ve had enough experience to know you really gotta be able to put the...

Thanks for the input, for some reason sage stopped making 11 footers on the newer second generation ESN’s they’re pushing now. They only offer a 10’6” 3wt or a 10’ 4wt. I can’t see myself spending...

Been fishing the cortland comp 10ft 4wt for ESN, and was thinking about uprgrading to a sage. I like the idea of the extra length on the 10’6” 3wt but I’m curious if the 3wt has enough backbone for...

I too am fairly new to the ESN game. Only been doing it for a year or so but here’s my two cents....

I agree Cdevine that type of fly line doesn’t matter. I would suggest that if you have a welded...

Looks like black crystal flash for the legs to me.

I think you hit it on the head. It is insane how different things are out there. My buddy and I got out there last week and kicked up some rocks with a seine in the water to examine the bug life. A...

That has been my experience as well, lots of first year fish. I haven't caught anything over 10" out there

So I came up on a couple of squirrel pelts and was thinking of trying to make some custom dubbing blends with them. Does anyone have any experience dying fur? I'm not really sure how to go about it...

How many cubes did the Yuba reach in 97?

My buddy and I were out there today too. It was chocolate milk out there, but any rain is good rain I guess. I got shut out but my buddy managed to get 2 to the net. We just kept hammering the same...

Pretty awesome to ask a question about a particular pattern and get the answer directly from the source! You da man Hogan! Thank you.

Anybody know the recipe for this fly? curious what he uses for the thorax, looks like possibly dyed pheasant tail? And also, does anyone know what material is used for the legs/gills? I can see some...

Jon is the man! Happy Birthday buddy!

I know a lot of guys put in at the Hwy 6 bridge on the north side. There's a dirt road on the south side of the river that parallels the river and there's access points all along there to take out....

Thanks for the help guys, the 3 it is!

Just picked up a sage one 696-1 that I plan to use primarily for throwing streamers and big indo rigs. I've been looking at the Lamson Litespeed to pair up with it but I'm not sure if I should go...

I have packed in to the Emigrent quite a few times. Your in for a treat! Beautiful country with lakes to fish everywhere. Upper Buck lake, Wood Lake, Emigrent Lake are all Great Lakes to camp at....

Ever been to Kirman lake on the East side? I don't know that I would spend more than a day or 2 there but if you have a float tube or inflatable raft of some kind you can catch some very nice Cuttys...

With it being skwala season, I thought it would be fun to try and tie my own nymph pattern. I'm pretty new to the fly tying game but I thought I would post some pics and see what you guys thought of...

I'm no expert on the EW but somewhere between 150-200 cfs is
ideal if my memory serves my right.

Beautiful fish! I miss the East Walker! Didn't fish it at all last year, it will be nice to see it with some water again.

last I checked the EW was still running pretty low around 40 CFS. The E. Carson is usually blown and swollen through the spring. If I was gonna hit the East side right now I'd try the Mammoth area....

I didn't start fishing the Truckee until a few years ago, so it's like learning to fish a whole new river at these flows. Holes that used to be productive with lower flows are now unfishable and...

Fished the T on Tuesday and Wednesday and got my butt kicked! River was big and takes were few and far between. Managed to get three to the net and missed a few more, but it was tuff out there. There...

So one of my snake guides on my Sage one came off somehow and I need to send it in for repair. Might be a stupid question, but do I have to send in the whole rod or do I just send in the section...
