Oh man I want it so bad! Let me see if I can swing it.

I repaired 2 echo tips in the same fashion. I must have thrown away the other 2 spare broken tips as I can’t find them. 2-3 seconds with a lighter and the tip shot right off and they fit perfectly back onto the now slightly shorter blank. I did add a touch of glue on the echo rods, there wasn’t...

Anyone have a tip top replacement kit they recommend for keeping in the gear room? I think I have at least 4 other tips I could fix lol. I have two matching echoes with a spare tip section for both and all 4 are broken in the same spot 1.5” from the top. I gave up caring about it but maybe if I...

For some reason I read what Matt said above and it didn’t resonate with me when it definitely should have. Years ago the tip top of my burkheimer spey came loose and would spin in circles around the blank but without coming off completely. I was told by a fellow from Burkie to just heat the tip...

I broke the very tip top off my Scott centric and rather then hassle with sending in for warranty and being down a favorite rod, can I just glue a new eyelet on it and keep fishing or does that technically void warranty? If so any recommendations on a decent replacement?

What is that blue material for the body? That same fly in tan would be a killer crane fly

I’ll have to try some rattles now. I’ll tie you some Evan, I’m about to start tying twitching jigs for my father in law anyways. I tie some out of bucktail for him and they are super deadly. Very underrated twitching jig material.

If your casts land laid out and under tension like they should, it doesn’t give it a chance to sink at all. The intermediate poly has slightly more stick for the anchor as well. I’ve never had an issue and found if my skaters are sinking it’s either a poorly tied fly or I’m not executing my...

I reread your post. Rage is definitely sick on a switch rod. Not a problem. I throw a 390 on my 11’ 7wt hardy switch with an intermediate 10’ poly leader for skaters and hair wings. She sends.

My advice with rage is drop down two sizes from your preferred skagit head. It feels clunky to me unless I drop two grain weights and it will be smoother throwing sink tips like t8 or even t11 as a bonus. It’s worked well for me on 4 or 5 different spey rods over the years. Hell one time I broke...

We reserved a spot a month ago when my wife decided on the location. But upon arrival (Wednesday) the campground was essentially empty I’d guess only 5-6 sites total had tents or trailers on them and we could have switched to any of the non reserved sites but stayed with what we had since it was...

Just getting back to civilization after the trip. The story goes that Wednesday evening through friday morning was the best calibaetis hatch I’ve ever fished. Conditions were glass calm with sunny clear skies and the mayfly abundance was pretty insane by my standards with basically 3 bite...

Thanks I decided to bring the drift boat and electric motor so I can take some kids out if it isn’t too windy, hopefully I’m not too bummed I didn’t bring the power boat. I’ve got a bunch of rods and well stocked boxes I figure I should be able to catch a few on indicators, dries or sunk lines...

Good man. You’ll have fun.

I can’t recommend a guided float on the Duc for SRC and summer coho enough. Such an awesome fishery. https://www.anadromyflyfishing.com/ Contact Terrance he’s the man without a doubt.

I gotta try this

Camping with the family but I’ll get a few sessions in. I’m thinking I’d rather take my watermaster instead of trailering my boat down there. Any advice for an east lake newb for that timeframe? Fishing indicators seems like a good bet and taking any dry fly opportunities if they present...

Extremely demoralizing to the enforcement officers im sure. No wonder the state can’t enforce fishing regs.

I’ve been doing really well on a cream one also. A couple turns of hen or pheasant hackle behind the bead on mine.
