Thanks for the advice above on the repair issue! I’m going to research more on the DIY side and also make a couple calls to Avid Angler and Scott on Monday. 👍🏻👍🏻

Looking for advice on a rod repair and figured this might be the place to ask. My 9’ 6wt Scott Radian has a slightly loose handle. I’m getting the dreaded squeaking from the cork. The reel seat also appears to be slightly out of alignment. I have the non-fighting butt rod. Before I send it...

More anecdotal data to add: I fish around 11-13 weekly and rarely come across rezzies. I head up to a couple of my favorite spots in 9 once a month or so if I have a free Saturday and almost always find a few. I’ve been fishing the Sound for just over two years since moving here. It’s always...

Fished in a long sleeve tee last night for the last hour of light. One of those evenings where the water looked incredibly fishy but not a fish in sight. No complaints here. The weather was surreal. Two people walking on the beach asked me how the salmon fishing was. I spent some time...

I’ve been running the 6wt frequency intermediate on my 5wt Scott Flex (given it’s a true line weight). It casts great, just the set up overall was not super powerful. It still packed a punch, but I struggled on windy days. I’m picky about line color and prefer a single colored line in white...

Looking at the 6wt full intermediate. I’ve been using the SA Frequency full sink intermediate for awhile which is superb at the $60 price point, in my opinion. I’ll either stick with that line in a heavier size for my 6wt or try the titan. I fished a state park in MA13 today and went 1-2 on...

Orvis Helios 3D (blue). I casted one a few years back while smallmouth fishing with a buddy in Michigan. It was a cannon. I’ve been using a 5wt Scott Flex for about a year and decided it was time to look for a more powerful rod from the beach. The current sale on the Helios rods was hard to...

Fished a well known spot in MA 13 from about 2:30-4:30pm today. I went 0-0. Hate to be cliche, but it was just awesome to be out in the sun and try out my new 6wt. We are lucky to have a 365 day fishery in our backyard 👍🏻

I really appreciate all of the input on flies from you guys! I picked up some darker colored buggers and polychaete worms to try on my next outing. I am not sure it is worth braving the weather this weekend, but next week looks favorable (as in, 40's and rain "favorable").

Hey everyone! I found this thread a couple weeks ago and really appreciate following along. I fish around the Gig Harbor area a few times a week (typically in the afternoons). I concur that the past couple weeks have been brutal. It is always a tough realization that winter fishing has truly...
