I just got back from the Oregon coast fished 5 days. I would highly recommend going out with dory boats as you can run a combo of crab and rockfish and salmon fishing has been good. Pacific city which is just south of Tillamook is what I would recommend. Send me a pm if this area is with in range.

Nice job Steve, I may have to jump down this rabbit hole and give it a go. I’ve been turning lower handles out of hardwoods for my Spey rods and I may try this for some reel seats. What rod are you going to put the seat on?

I’m working on my 5th Spey rod and trying to get my tooling dialed in. I had used the baginski style beveler which I had tough time with the larger diameter materials required for Spey rod. It worked great for the tip sections but mid and butt not so much. I did some searching around and bought...

Happy birthday and enjoy this day and tight lines.

I’m going to have a conflict that just came up, I enjoyed this last year and will definitely miss going to this.

A few of my latest Redfish treats

I haven’t used that tape but use hockey stick tape and it works great and only leaves some residue if it’s hot and I keep the rod together for a long period of time. I was given this tip from a friend and wouldn’t try anything else. And if I can add don’t try using alcohol to remove residue as...

Sorry for my lack of linking skills and thanks for posting up the link Creatch’r and your comments are important. We definitely need to change the regs and behaviors for us to have an opportunity. And thanks again Smalma for making us aware how important it is be involved in fisheries...

Hey, I thought I would get this going as it’s not to late to send comments to the NOF in support of gamefish opportunities on the Stillie. I would suggest sending a note on the Wdfw site supporting your suggestions to fish cutts and steelhead. I personally screwed up my not going to the NOF...

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments and she was loved by the neighborhood as she let everyone know when something was wrong. Great Pyrenees are great dogs and my 3rd one, she will be missed.

Today Zema moved on to doggie heaven she lived a long life.

Not dumb at all nice to see so many XP’s my favorite of sage rods. And I still love 4100-4 and 6100-4 XP

That’s the question my wife still is asking and so far I have not run out of reasons😀

It might be worth giving the line multiple coats of dressing. I used to fish silk lines and it was important to dress it during the day and when I got home I stretched and dried it and then reapplied the muciline. You line look like it needs some love and if it was me I apply a few coats and...

I would like to throw out another prop for Ron, with bamboo rods finding the right length tube is a big deal for me. And he has a large range of both lengths and diameter. I searched and found it hard to get what I wanted and he is very easy to work with and made sure I got what I needed.

You might consider Ron’s fly rod tubes on IG he is a great guys and he has various lengths and colors. I had him make custom colored and lengths for my bamboo Spey rods and they are awesome.

I was surprised that you were not helped as the golden rule with all boat operator’s is if a boat is in distress you stop and help. I grew up on the straits and I have helped numerous anglers make there way back to there launch. Last year a buddy was floating the same river and his oar broke and...

What you need to do is come by and borrow my bellinger form and I still have some culms and try it out.

Did you use the tip culm for the whole rod? You probably have a sweet 2-3 wght. I almost spit my beer up with the parabullshit taper strong work with you builds. I love how you have fun with building what you want and experimenting with the results. Keep it up my friend as I‘m doing similar...
