Yep, I found essentially no information on the Edge spey rods, likely because they aren't sold through shops, so pros aren't interested in reviewing them. For $200 on sale, I figure that I'll give it a shot. I'll contribute some info by having a number of people try it out and write their...

Agreed on the lines, but I wish there was a library where you could check out a bunch to try on a rod. It obviously hasn't been an issue when I buy directly from a shop, but if I buy used or online (as I just did from Edge), it can be more difficult. I'm, fortunately or unfortunately, building a...

I live in BC and have been trying to improve my Spey game this year. I'll post something after I've fished it a few times. And maybe find someone who's actually a good Spey fisherman to give their opinion too.

Just took a risk on the Edge Rods. Bought the 7126 spey for about $200 :rolleyes:. We'll see...... Also bought a 500 gr line from Cortland to go with it (no concerns there).

A couple more pretty rainbows from this year.

A couple of nice cutties. One from WA and one from CO.

If you can find a Sage SP in the length and weight you want, that would probably be a good choice. Very smooth and comfortable action. Neither stiff nor noodle-y. As you suggested, there may be a few more of those around, but they also seem to be a cult rod at a premium price. Another...

I'm surprised at the lack of discussion of Winston, although their rods have been mentioned a few times. I immediately think of the WT and some of the BIIX models when thinking about slower to moderate actions. These are my go-to rods at 5 wt and below. I also have a Sage SP 590-3 that falls...

Same! Had some this morning. Thanks for smoking them up for me!

Just bought one of the last of the G3 vests, which I think are the best on the market (although discontinued). May be the last Simms purchase. My wife was just saying today that I have a lot of stuff that says "Simms" on it. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Great game. Excellent passing and establishing dominance around the net, particularly in the 3rd period. And I love the empty net goal. They showed some serious chops against an outstanding team.

And this is exactly why folks like Dunleavy are successful in ramming unpopular projects through.

Yep, this one is a big deal, and focused on fisheries. But it could have impacts on drugs, safety, other environment, pretty much anything you can think of. The long-term goal is to kneecap all regulatory agencies so that the only way to regulate anything is through direct congressional action...

I once caught more than a dozen fish out of a single run using soft hackles and simply changing the color of the body on each pass through the run. Orange, green, red, yellow, pheasant tail, all tied with partridge, one after the other. Each time catching another 2 or three fish. After that, a...

I'd suggest the Pitt River near Vancouver BC. A buddy and I fished with the guys at Pitt River Lodge earlier in the year and they were great. Stay at the river cabin instead of the lodge, and it's even cheaper, particularly when you consider the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar. If you stay...

I was trying to find the many examples of truck commercials that have people fishing, but the people have no idea how to hold a rod or cast. Turns out it's hard to search for crappy fishing technique within truck commercials. But those always crack me up.

Welcome, @Nailknot85 I'm also in BC, Vancouver area. PM me if you want to potentially connect for fishing.

Here's my best bit of retirement advice. If you are going to marry, marry the right person for the right reasons. There's a ton of resources out there now regarding relationships that weren't available when I was young. Read them, take them to heart, and use them in your relationship. It's the...

I've had exactly the same thought about fishing. I also never gamble. I put one quarter in a slot machine once in my early 20s, won about $50, and decided that I was ahead for life and didn't need to gamble any more. I like the gambling analogy for the sense of expectation and random reward...
