Weapon of choice is a 2/3 wt in the 7 or 8 foot range. It's actually my backup as I broke my other 3 weight a couple months ago and have not gotten around to fixing or replacing it. I'v also been thinking about Tenkara or a light glass rod. The weapon has mostly been loaded with a version of...

When tying flies, I keep the scraps of feathers and bits of this and that. When I get enough, I tie up cat toys for our cats. No hook of course. I don't have anything close to a specific pattern or try to imitate anything. Just something colorful that they can chase around and destroy...

This spring I made a decision to really explore an area close to home. There are lots of creeks and the plan was to explore everything that is big enough to hold fish. In doing so I got on google maps and started making plans. I had fished a few creeks in this area already. I’ve also seen some...

It broke near the center closer to the real seat. I don't think a repair will be too bad for the action of the rod. The break looks clean, not crushed or splintered. It also looks like I can easily fit a "splint" inside both ends of the broken section. Good call on the epoxy. What I...

I recently turned a 4pc rod into a 5pc rod. It’s a fairly inexpensive rod and the manufacturer doesn’t provide any repair service or replacement. I was going to try and fix it myself. The suggestions I have seen on the internet basically suggest I splint it with something inside the tube then...
