    Fly Fishing in the San Juans

    I grew up fishing in the area. As a kid we could catch rockfish everywhere. Not sure what is relevant anymore but I would guess if you weren’t targeting anything specifically you would have a great time throwing some clousers and seeing what you hook.

    Took the Bamboo plunge

    Quite the endorsement! Without any first hand knowledge, I knew what this was when it came up for sale and jumped on it knowing I could move it on if it wasn't for me. Fishing trip today did not work out but was able to take it down to the river by the house and try some of the lines I have. I...

    Took the Bamboo plunge

    Never thought of testing lines that way. Slick, will try it that way. What properties do you guys like about the 406. I believe it is manufactured by SA how does it differ from the SA DT offerings? Would like to try a dt peach, dt 406, and a wulff triangle taper long. I have a DT 444SL...

    Took the Bamboo plunge

    I actually have quite a few vintage hardy's but I have a hardy copy, thompson 100, I will be using on this rod. Plan on using it for western river trout fishing. Was looking for a versatile rod that would fish dry's, soft hackles and streamers. Have some DT SA lines I'm going to try.

    Took the Bamboo plunge

    I've had the urge to pick up a bamboo rod the last few years but without rods around to try and a limited knowledge of them and without the ability to try them I have been hesitant. I was able to try a couple rods last year and liked an 8' 5wt stone cascade rod and have been looking for one to...

    TFO deer creek 14' 6/7

    I have and liked using delta multi tip I use delta's and delta's with multi tips. Not sure what you mean by the difference? I have both delta's and delta lines with multi tips. How does the match up matter on the multi tip line?

    TFO deer creek 14' 6/7

    Just picked up one of these on kind of an impulse purchase and was wondering if anyone had experience with this rod. I haven't had a chance to take it out for a test run but bought it hoping it would work well with mid belly lines. I currently have a Delta Long multi tip and a cnd gps 7/8...

    Non-Fly Dirtbag kokanee

    I fish two lines on Downriggers and 1-2 lines with lead core line for Kokanee and trout. I do as well with all of the rods. The micro lead core you can buy now fits on a modest size reel. Quite a few times do better on the lead core and it is simple and easy.
