The NZ special, as mentioned above, doesn't have a fighting but so it is more of a freshwater style rod with a wood reel seat even though the rest of the components are the same as the saltwater version. It is a cannon.

SOLD - Scott Meridian NZ Special - 9' 6wt in very good condition. A very powerful rod that is not easy to find in the United States. Asking $600 shipped to the lower 48.

This is not intended to be a bash on Simms thread. I have a lot of their products, and for the most part I think they make good stuff. But I do have a couple of bones to pick.... I posted on the old WFF site about the seam tape delaminating on my Simms G3 waders that were less than 2 years old...

Fall rains are coming…

I have a ZOLEO for this purpose. It is $20/month for the service after you purchase the device and integrates with an app on my phone for sending text messages. I can suspend the service in the off season and reduce the payment to $4/month. I hike alone fairly often so it gives me peace of...

The Douglas Sky rods hold their own with the Scotts. They are very smooth casting rods with lots of power. To me the action is very similar to the Hardy Zenith. I have Scott Radians, Hardy Zeniths and Douglas Skys, and they are all great rods. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them...

SOLD - New with tags Simms G4 wading jacket. Size large. Retail is $699. Selling for $500 shipped to the lower 48.

Yes, they had warning signs for the last bridge, before you get to the lake and the cut off for the Cutthroat Pass trail. It says the stringers are damaged beyond repair and failure is eminent. It didn’t look that bad, so I, and several other people, took our chances. I felt it was safe enough...

I have started high lakes season too. I hiked my Wilderness Lite tube (purchase inspired by Dave) into Black lake up the Chewuch drainage on Sunday. It is totally snow free at 4,000 feet. The fishing was pretty good for feisty rainbows up to 15”. On Tuesday I hiked into Cutthroat Lake just for...

My mom is a plant nerd. She use an app called “Picturethis” to identify plants, and it is pretty good.

Just the other day......

Won’t be long until the trails are clear.

My wife and I fished Quincy for a couple of hours in the morning on March 21st, and it was dead. We moved to Burke at lunchtime and fished it for the afternoon. I landed 5 fish in about three hours. My wife got 2. All really nice holdover fish 16”-21”. The bank guys weren’t doing well. They all...

I kind of agree with others who have posted. It seems like they are reneging on a promise made when they sold the rods with a lifetime warranty, even if it was 30 years ago. I think a better move would be to apply a new warranty policy to new rods being introduced that protects them from having...

SOLD - Sage LL fly rod that hasn't been seeing much use the past few years. The LL series has a well-deserved following for their sweet moderate action. I just have too many rods.... Sage LL 4711-2 7'11" 4wt, two piece in good used condition - $500 shipped to lower 48

Loomis has been selling the Asquith for over $1,000 for several years. I don’t remember such a huge outcry when that rod was introduced. Nobody is forcing you to buy an R8. Personally, I wish I had a fly shop nearby so I could see for myself if the juice is worth the squeeze. I didn't think...
