    Official Beach Rod Thread

    I found the same problem with a two-hander. I built a 9'9" 8 wt sh beach rod, using the top 3 sections of a 4 pce 13' 7/8 wt two hand (imported) blank, paired with a 350 gr Snowbee XS switch line. A few of us are now using the same combo, which has proven to be a smooth/long-casting setup.

    The Best Nature Fix

    It's a special feeling when you introduce them to fishing and they love it too. My 15 year old grandaughter still talks about the annual fishing trips we started taking her on when she was 5. (and the fish she caught get bigger every year)

    Well folks, looks like I'll have to pause shipping staffs to the US, as the latest tariff changes require pre-payment of approximately $85 in extra duties before being shipped. I really appreciate the support members of the flyfishing community have shown for my staff over the past several...

    Comparison is the Thief of Joy

    "Comparison is the Thief of Joy." A great quote and a timely post. My wife and I returned from a day trip to out favourite trout stream, where its not uncommon to land 20-25 rainbows each. I started to tell a friend that it was a bit slow, as we only got 10-12 fish each, then realized the...

    So, you're new to fly fishing?

    I remembered how difficult it was for me to get started flyfishing, being overwhelmed with advice coming from every direction...and no two advisors saying the same thing. I decided to make up a one-page (more than that is too much for a beginner) guide to help beginners with initial equipment...

    NFR $$ Haircuts $$

    I've been cutting my own, since covid shut down the barbershops. My skill level has improved greatly since my first attempt. Pro tip: Always check to make sure the length guide is attached to the clipper before starting. (I thought it seemed like an unusual amount of hair was coming off...

    The tip is actually size TR413 tire valve stem. I insert a 1" length of 3/8" I.d. rubber fuel line hose ( reg, not marine) into the aluminum tubing, recessing it to 3/4" below flush. I then moisten the valve stem, and tap it in until it seats against the tubing. The valve stem and fuel line can...

    Personal Health?

    I've trained with weights since the age of 13, in addition to always being physically active, never allowing myself to get too far out of shape. I can't handle the gerbil workouts on treadmills, stationary bikes, etc, but, instead, keep physically active with things like pickleball 3 times per...
