I recall many years ago in the late 60's or early 70's when the state used to stock Rock Creek below Lake Needwood as a put-and-take segment. I used to fish...

Fellow PPTUers, We have our January meeting coming up with fly tying on the agenda. I believe the following folks tied last year (or were on the list to) and...
Does anyone own a pair of either Korkers "Outfitter" or "Wetlands" wading boots with interchangable soles? They appear to very similar in function but about...
No specific destination but I'm looking at the interchangable systems so instead of taking multiple boots for say brook trout streams and big streams (N....
Well it's time I moved on from the first introductory/beginners rod, a Sage DS-2 8'6" (2 piece) for 5 wt, and reel that I purchased when I entered this sport...
Buying yourself a Christmas Present ? You deserve it . You may want to ask this local Fly shop why do they no longer sell Ross Products . My experience with...
Thanks, Larry. This was my suspicion, so I called several other fly shops around the country and they stated that although there were problems when the...

I have a bud who raves about Ross. Turns out his reel's drag system got fried during a trip to Australia but he didn't know it until he was cleaning it a few...
Thanks, Jim. The first reel I bought as part of that initial set up was a Ross Cimarron and I've been happy with it. In my researching the balance between the...
Josh, My best advice is to go with the longer rod. Presentation is everything. I have several shorter rods (6 1/2 ft. - 7 ft. - 8ft.) I made over the years...

Jim, would six inches make that big a difference in presentation on our local streams? I know some of the benefits of longer fly rods (e.g., mending), but...
Joshua; FWIW You might want to give rod length another thought. For fishing really brushy streams with a lot of overhang, or itsy-bitsy brook trout streams, an...

For what it's worth---I find there is a time and place for every tool I own and use in life, including fly rods. I have a 7'9" Winston that is a jewel in the...
Longer rods form larger loops in a roll cast, hence can get more line moving and out bound to the target. Side roll casts are also possible with the longer...
