    Is this a Lami s-glass? update added

    I have an old "Custom Built" 8 foot, 5 piece, 6 wt fiberglass rod with glass ferrules. It doesn't have a label but it sure looks like s-glass. It's kinda cool being 5 piece and very translucent like s-glass. Any guesses as to the origin of this blank??

    Fish Species That Defy the Fly

    I caught a blue cat once, and a walleye, so that's possible. I've seen TV shows where they catch halibut on a fly but seems like a sturgeon would be a challenge

    The Cape of Cod report

    Sad to say the seals on The Cape are a serious problem and were on the flats. We were out on Monomoy, and the seals were quite close, but none tried to take a hooked fish but did spook the pods. The small seals are rather curious and one swam right in front of me... As I was slapping the water...

    The Cape of Cod report

    I get to do a June trip to The Cape every year and dodge meteorites and fish for striped bass. The shore fishing has been tough, with few fish caught or seen, but a couple nice 'uns. This fish ate a small pink clouser. We also have guides lined up and one takes us out to The Rips. You can...

    When to re-tie? R wind-knots bad?

    Reading some of the other threads I saw some opinions about when, how often, to re-tie the tippet and fly. Full disclosure: I hate re-tieing! If my knot was good enough to land the fish, my next knot might be weaker. Sigh... For a couple years now, I've had a big wind-knot up in the fat...

    Grilling salmon (other methods also allowed for discussion) - your go-to recipes and techniques

    A lot of tasty advice here, thanks I'll add a couple tidbits First, fresh dill Dos, if I'm buying a fillet I ask them to cut off the tail section because it comes out too dry and rubbery. Grill skin down and as the thin belly meat gets done firstly, pick it off and eat it. Chef's...
