Its awesome to see your enthusiasm, Steelie. Trying to combine the best of both worlds. Utah state university in Logan, Utah has on of the best fisheries management programs anywhere in the country. ...

Tibor makes one hell of a bombproof reel. They are a time proven design that have landed some of the largest fish in the world on rod and reel. If I were a die hard saltwater guy I would use nothing ...

Jeremy, if I were to pick 5 flies for tiny bugs for spring, fall, and winter here out west on tailwaters to match midges and baetis it would be the following....

1 - Zebra midge (in red, maroon, bl ...

I am also a big fan of SA Mastery series lines for trout. For dry fly fishing I like the Expert distance and the Trout line in a double taper. The expert distance is great because even though it is ...

Some I would consider-

Flashback wd-40 gray, olive #20-22
RS2 gray, black, olive #20-22
Zebra midge wine, brown, red, black, gray, olive, #16-24
Disco midge UV, pearl, red, black #18-22
Jujubee ...

Tiemco and Gamakatsu. Every time I tie on Daiichi hooks they usually straighten out before the tippet breaks.

First of all, you do not want to use 8 or 10 pound lfluoro as a butt section of a leader. The idea of a tapered leader is to turn the leader over, straightening the leader and fly away from the fly l ...

The water does not always have to be released from the bottom of the reservoir. Some reservoirs have selective withdrawl structures which allows dam managers to take water out of any depth of the res ...

That is why you go to your local specialty shop instead of getting your gear online. You save a lot more money with the customer service and expertise that you get in those shops in the long run. Ch ...

I would recommend stepping up a bit and going with the Sage Launch combo for around $350. Comes with a 590-4 Sage Launch with lifetime warranty, 1650 Sage large arbor reel, Rio fly line and leader, a ...

Alaska is a great place to visit. I go there every year in September to fish for big 'bows (this will be year 2 on the Alagnak.) But Alaska really lacks the diversity that some other places have.` ...

Go balloon or go home!

I have seen a lot of sezed bearings on those reels. Never remove the drag cap when you are fishing. They just started using stainless steel bearing assemblies so that should fix the problem.

Pabst Blue Ribbon! prefferably from Wyoming, prefferably through a funnel-shaped beer drinking device!

I'll make some calls for ya tomorrow and figure out a line recommendation.

Eh, don't blame ya. I wouldn't trust me eighter. If you plan on fishing a spey line you will not get the backing capacity you need on the reel. You would get maybe 50 yards AT MOST with the 3400D. ...

Not much a fan of those rods. For a price point I would look either the Scott A2 or Sage VT2 - both in probably a 7 weight to compliment the 9.

3500D! we discussed this...

1. break less than ten rods.
2. work on making animals out of strike indicator balloons (when your Giraffe falls over, you have a fish!)

So what do you wear in the mean time while you are waiting for a replacement pair? What do you use when you are on a week long Alaskan float trip and your cheap waders fail? Warranties are nice, but ...

Of all the things to save a penny on, waders are the LAST thing you want to pinch on. Cheap waders WILL let you down. Get the best wader you can afford. I would recommend Simms over anything else. ...

Biggie is correct in saying that I would avoid the cheaper kits that come with all of the materials. You are better off by getting good tools and a vise, then slowly build up your material selection ...

I haven't been so I can't recommend any outfitters but I have rigged many sailfish set ups. By far the best set up I have found for lines in Rio Leviathan 550 grain 30 foot shooting head attached to ...

In the winter, just like any other season, you need to match the insect that are available to the fish. This means that during the winter small midges, crustaceans (scuds, sowbugs), and annelids (sma ...

If you have any interest at all in spey casting, you should check out the new DVD from Scientific Anglers called "Spey to Z". Greg Pearson, Way Yin, and Topher Brown show you all spey casti ...

Action Optics (a division of Smith sport) makes excellent sunglasses for fly fishing. They have a prescription lens program and offer varous styles and lens color. There are lots of different circum ...

I disagree. The double haul is the most efficient transfer of energy into line speed because it does not involve movement of the rod. With a well times double haul and tight loops, you can generate ...

Mickey, its your long lost Provo River fishing guide. Jason-C fished down there in May last year and Kory from the shop here in Park City has been down there the past two years. Either one should be ...

Fly rods are like anything else: there is a lot of personal preference involved and casting style plays a big role. That being said I think that there is a huge difference in castibility of high end ...
