    Bring your single hand and two handed rods, waders, boots, fishing license, etc.

    Default Bill, will you and your team have any shorter Skagits to try?

    "Bill, will you and your team have any of the shorter Skagits to try?"

    I'm still looking for the Alpha Skagit for my Meiser 5/6 10' 6" switch and Z7110."

    GS - Bruce has been using the RIO 475 short on his 7110 for big stuff and it flies. Probably go down one line size for standard stuff. Hope they make just the heads soon! He cut off their running line and used his

    I will have RIO Skagit shorts, airflo compact skagits, and Beulah tonics that are all short skagit lines available for demo. We will also have a variety of switch rods and scandi style lines available to try. Whether you are a beginner or advanced to spey/switch style casting, this will be a good fishing.casting demo for all.

    Hopefully Rio will wake up and come out with just the short heads.

    What a waste of money to buy the Short Head Line and then cut off Rio's running line.

    I will try to make it unless we have a spring Monsoon. Will you be meeting inside the gate or down on the river?

    Thanks

    We will be meeting down on the river at 6:00.

    Also, Rio has redone the running line on the Skagit Shorts and we have a 425 with the new running line to bring down and try out.

    See you all there.

    Unless it is a big downpour we will be there. We should have a nice turnout.
