Thanks....forgot it existed. Very interesting.

This is where 'Old man Jim" would've cut through all my anxiety about getting the 'wrong' rod and told me to stop f#%king around and just go fishing! I was just at the Orvis store, and they supposedly have the perfect euro rod : ). They did mention the Recon 4 wt as a possibility for what I...

I have a Hydrogen 11' 2wt spey rod I really enjoy using for streamers on the Yak. Would this give me enough 'sensitivity' to effectively use the same size flies for nymphing I would use a 4 wt euro rod for? I'm not sure how easily I could switch from using it as a streamer rod to a nymphing...

I like the idea of using a small skagit head and having the ability to throw a 2 inch sculpin. Euro nymphing upstream and swinging a streamer downstream really appeals to me. With the help of this thread, I'm beginning to understand why Jake has a 4wt euro rod for just what I'm thinking of...

Ahhh....so you feel comfortable casting with the T and T 4 wt. Jake, I'm assuming you do the same? I'm trying to avoid purchasing a 2wt also if I really get into this euro nymphing. Do you feel it would be good for the Fall and upper Deschutes? Thanks

Off hand, do they sell an extra tip also? I see a broken tip section with 11 feet of rod whipping around. For $95.....hard to lose.

I know zilch about automotive engineering....please forgive.... Could a Siena be lifted to maybe the same as an Outback? Do you think it could withstand twenty miles of washboard road? Tow a 11 ft raft on a flat trailer? I was just floating this idea past my wife if possible : )

Man Jake, you don't mess around when it comes to the quality of your rods : ). I had thought the T and T contact was more of a pure euro stick. We have definitely got to meet out there some time!

Let me preface that I have never tried euro nymphing....but I'm curious and really don't like using indicators unless I really have to. I'm willing to not have the 'perfect' rod for either method, but would at least like it to be a pretty decent compromise. From what I gather based on...

I have not heard this and I can't find any kind of presence online. I know he spent a lot of time at Puget Sound Fly Shop. Another fly shop in Tacoma would be tough....cool....but tough. I'll have to check it out once I find out where it is. Mark

The thinner cork rings look nice. I would think this is the perfect creek rod.

How did this event go? Sounds like a lot of fun.

Geez....this thread just cost me $50 for tungsten beads..... : )

How you catch so many doubles is beyond me. Great photos.

So cool! There's a spot in AK we fish for halibut in only 70 feet of water....gotta give this a try. Masterful in controlling the boat's drift.

I'm really impressed you're going for that long of rods and keeping it as a 6wt. I remember your casting style is really smooth, so I'll be curious if us mortals can slow down our cast enough. Bob Clay was very helpful when I was working on some doublehand trout rods. It took a couple tries...

Congrats! I’ve been very happy with my raft. I would definitely be interested in an extra oar! : )

Ready to head to a beach.

This is also what I do. As they say...."measure twice, cut once" when measuring the reel seat and any possible fighting butt. Has worked well for me so far. Mark

Tried them on a central OR river yesterday. They floated enough to fish with, but got no love, A hatch never really occurred and I didn't see anyone hooking up....although Santa was out wetting a line. He also seemed to have no !uck with the local fish. I think they were doing a YouTube...
