    Stream signs rant

    You aren't alone at all my man! Nothing better than a trip through the rural US learning creek names, what kind of crops are in a field, and stopping to read historical marker signs etc. Lot of kids these days spend a road trip glued to their phones/ipads and are completely detached from the...

    Clearwater River Rod Advice?

    Wanted to update this thread as I found a mint Sage Graphite IIIe 9140, apparently a legendary rod in the PNW and almost as old as me, kind of cool ha. Should be a sweet rod on the Clearwater.

    Clearwater River Rod Advice?

    After calling the Red Shed I've got a 54' Gaelforce Equalizer headed my way for the 13' NRX already in the lineup, and a good idea of what used 15-16 footers to keep an eye out for. Thanks

    Reel Seat Oxidation Removal?

    Scored a vintage Sage LL 279 a few weeks back and looking to get the reel seat shined up. It's not bad, just a bit dull from decades of sitting in a rod tube I guess. Anyone have a method for removing oxidation and polishing a metal reel seat?

    Clearwater River Rod Advice?

    After the move to Montana, it's looking like I'll probably scratch the steelhead itch on the Clearwater system more often than making the trip back to WA. I've been reading about the utility of longer spey rods on the Clearwater, and am looking for some advice. The longest 2-hander I currently...

    Make sure you're watching the Missoula and Bozeman Craigslist pages. I've seen a half dozen or so this Spring. Worth the drive!

    That really is the only attitude that will allow you to enjoy anything these days. Had a realization last open CnR season on the Sauk River that led me to adopting the same mindset as yours. I had another angler low hole me like I've never been low-holed in my life. Was making my way down to...

    That's still the current warranty for their gear rods, so hopefully they do the same for fly rods
