I bet a big old brown will devour that thing...:)
I love the action of it, just getting used to having a slower stroke. Everything seems to be in slow-motion which is awesome. I've caught fish on it but none on dries yet which I'm excited for...
Hmmmm I think I'll have to buy some round rubber online...the only leg-ish material my local fly shop carries are the sili legs which seem to be rectangular pieces of stretchy rubber that really do...
Well, my brookie trip isn't going to happen this weekend because of Gout....but I did get a few beastly wild bows on the rod and reel the past few weeks! Throwing stuff that's waaaaay too big for...
Great looking fly! I've never been one to tie CJ's because they take a little longer than most(they do produce though) and frankly I'm not too great at them but this makes me reconsider, especially...
Sorry if this is a re-post from an old thread, but I'm wondering how long some of you guys let a pool settle after landing a fish out of it. I recently ran into some amazing wild rainbow fishing in...
So, I'll admit I know very little about the aquatic life in my river systems here in VT, nor am I much of a book reader (mostly online reading instead of paper) I'm looking to buy a book all about...
Beautiful post, loved this part especially.
I can really relate, as I'm sure many others can. When I first meet someone, the first thing that goes through my mind is, "Do they fish??!" and,...
That fly looks great Gary, I might actually tie some of those! I've always had decent luck swinging streamers and even dead drifting big buggers(can't go wrong with an olive/black/brown bugger)
A...
I did by no means want anyone to post/sign up for a Blogger account. You're spot on with the ease of pictures! Again, the Blog is really mostly for myself. I sometimes like to sit here and...
Sorry if anyone took offense to this - I started out with posts in a Lake Champlain thread and it just seemed redundant to copy+paste the posts to every forum I visit. I will say that I've only told...
I've added quite a few posts since starting it, including some video as well! Let me know what you guys think.
I dished out a pretty penny for my Oakley's and while they're super comfortable, light and stylish, not sure they were worth the $230 price tag, especially since the replacement lenses are over $50...
What a sensitive subject. I live in the Burlington area of VT with a fly fishing community much smaller than ones elsewhere because of somewhat limited waters. The rivers that hold a decent run of...
LL does make nice rainwear, but I actually picked up a Columbia jacket (not meant for fishing of course) that could stop terrential downpours. If you're looking for a summer rain jacket, it will...
Finally got around to starting my own blog....not too many posts yet but there will be updates regularly. Please let me know what you think and I hope you enjoy!

There may be some members here willing to buy some of the gear, then you'd know for sure it will go to a good home! I know of another website but I am not sure I can post it here, so I will PM it to...
Got my brookie outfit in the mail today, thanks to a great guy over at the Spey Clave!
6'6" 3 wt Superfine Touch with a Battenkill LA I and new 3 wt rio line and some intermediate line as well! ...
Champlain has a few steelhead runs. You can get them in the bigger rivers in the Fall after the landlocks come in, or some smaller streams have the usual Spring run. I usually run a bugger with a...
Was 36 in the mornings and then 43 in the afternoon on most days with sun! Should be prime time this weekend after this warm rain!
Was lucky enough to fish some Spring steelhead in one of our smaller steelhead tribs here in VT. The flow was low, probably around 80 cfs...but I found fish, usually ended up with 2-3 each day. I...
I would suggest picking up an Orvis rod of your choice..if you don't like it for whatever reason, send it back and get a full refund. Besides that though, I've not had much experience with 2 wt's...
I think Sage's 99's are on sale all over right now...something like 40-50% off? I hear they were great long rods for nymphing and even big streamers. Slower action meant bigger loops for euro rigs...
Awesome video...HUGE fish and spectacular looking water.
I don't fish dries much, but you'd think that a fish could see the line on top of the water when fishing a less dense line like nylon with dries. The dries I did fish I used a floatant with fluoro...
