yes sir , thats what we need , should just grab a sign and run it down to the oldman country , put a good scare into them river runners befor spring time

doug , if everything goes good , i should be home next week , maybe we can talk the doc into going with us

YES YES YES

i have a brand new Meiser highlander classic in a 456 , a custom built job it's '' Doc's favorite Meiser rod '' that i'll let you test drive , i should be home next week if all goes good , email me and i'll hook up with you and we might as well just go fishing for the day , also have the ''S'' rod in 13ft , 7 wt , a really nice underhand stick if you want to try it also

wayne don is correct on the cost of the good stuff , yet it is well worth it not allot of money is made on a custom built rod , most guys do it as they love it , and if i was you i'd try to spend as much as you could to get the very best components , don't try to save like $3.00 when it comes to picking a stripping guide or snakes over the cheeper brands , your rod is going to be a custom build , so pimp it out some , it's your ride and money lots of good choices , i already sent you a couple really classy builders by email , and if you need advice on whats good components , just ask , allot of guys on here like the good stuff when it comes to there rods , bottom line is this is a special rod for you for a long time of use , might as well have a classy looking one that everyone will see and wish was in there hands for casting

wayne do your homework and you'll be way more then happy , allot of good builders today , i never buy a new rod when you can get the same rod custom built for sometimes even less then a new one in a store , your rod will be better with the little extra's that you add on , and the sage z axis is a good common rod that allot of builders useing sage's blanks if you need some place to start , i know allot of custom builders , email me and i'll send you some guys that will give you 100% warranty and the workmanship will blow your mind , nothing come close to what a custom rod is compared to the rods you see on the racks in the fly shops , you pick and spend the amount you want , you buy a new rod off the store rack , walk out the door and use the rod , they go down in value fast , a custom rod built for you should hold it's value more and you'll be so happy with it in the long run , i'v had allot of custom rods built for people , you might want to think of stepping up and get a custom bamboo rod built , they only ever go up in value if you buy the right builders rod and you'll never go back to fishing with plastic sticks after you try em

smitty congrat"s you lucky SOB , wow , you really are on a run they would say , i'd like to slip you a 20 to just by lotto tickets for me , i never won anything in my life except a 4 foot sub for throwing hockey pucks to the closest spot in the middle of the rink , , till just last week and i thought i was really lucky to win picture of the month on here

jay was nice seeing you again also , at least this time we had a chance to chat some instead of on the river , good for you in that sage booth , i thought the show was really good this year , i at last seen allot of new faces to go with the FFC crazy name handles , and was nice seeing old long lost friends , i'm looking more forward now for the spring , were over the hump now , after the show the winters just seems to go faster

well that really sucks , i hate losing stuff myself , so i'll be at the show again all day on sunday , i'll ask around for you , the best thing you have going for you is it's a fly fishing show and your chances are better then if left at a mall , most people who fly fish have some honesty in them , keep your fingers crossed

bigbowtrout for you , sure i can bring it and let you fondle it to get yourself off

hey thanks allot guys i'm looking forward to getting the mag for reading this winter , i was having a tough time deciding on which picture to send in myself , here's my other choice that i thought about , feel free to use it if you guys want it , it's a little 3 inch wide drum brass face perfect hardy with all 3 logo's ,

i'll say hi to Bob for you and pass on about your rod getting sent by USPS to the wrong place , it will show up , you should be able to get all you shipping cost back if it's there screw up , had it happen to me lots on mailing and getting reels , now if the postal system is 1 day late, i put in a claim for the shipping cost all back , dame we pay enough to mail stuff and when they say 8 days , it best be at my door in 8 days , i'v always had a disliking for USPS , they always seem to be a few days late , the best is UPS or fed x , cost a bit more but never had anything broke or lost by the way , what model rod did you order and got coming when it does show up

taco i think you's telling big lie's , might be something to do with all them sweet looking glass rods you have , maybe try a bamboo rod ,

parker you look me up in april or earlly may ,as i don't get to busy in them months , i'll take you out and show you a few good tricks on me free , me and my other guide will take you for a float to get you into them good , anyone who's done 30 times on this river deserve to catch more then 2 fish

headscan but it's just not worth it. You don't get it and I doubt you ever will. wrong , i do get it and more then you'll ever know , and i really doubt you will ever understand till it's you that is looking out a window of a plane while it's being over run by terrorists , then the light bulb will come on , i hope it never happens to you , yet if i does i'm sure you will remember back to your reply's , just a thought for you to ponder during the day of the terrorists that they have let go from cuba to go back into the world as good free people , FACT , at least 5 are known to have join back up with the terrorists cells and want nothing more then to kill the innocent again , makes no diff to them if it's woman or children , so why on gods earth should we even take a small chance on them , bringing them roses and asking them to be nice terrorist boys , just don't work

yes god bless all the family in this time of loss , indeed another very very sad day for the country ,

headscan first , that is not a war , war is what happens when a country declares it on another , these are not soldiers , they are terrorists , trying to push the life they want on the rest of the world , no care for women or children if they get killed , i think if you was on that plane or the ones that flew into the towers , and you knew you were going to die , you'd want them killed , after the great War 11, those found guilty for crimes against the people were shot or hung , i see no diff on this , you will never change the way they think of us , and rotting in jail , not likely , maybe sitting in jail with 3 meals a day and enjoying tv , all i'm saying is if that plane would of blew up and everyone killed on it and it landed on a school , and we had the chance or knew he was going to do it , then what is the diff of killing him befor or after , even if his plan didn't work , i'm sorry if my opinion is not the same as some , the only way to stop it is kill them all , every last living terrorist , again i say terrorist , they will never stop as they think by getting killed themselves they going to see the great one , and after seeing today a few more of my brothers in arms getting killed over in afgan , i feel for the loved ones they left behind , i myself served over 20 years and it deeply saddens me when i see my fellow brothers in arms and a couple friends who i used to work with not come back home all because of some terrorist , you can not give a inch or feel sorry for these crazy terrorists , i'm sure you might think diff if it was you in the towers and looked out and seen that plane coming at you , or if it was your wife or kids on one of them planes , maybe next time it just might be in canada , or someone you know is lost , i hope not , yet i see it only takes a few years for the world to start to let the guard down , they will strike again , it's a fact , big question is when and where , so to me the only way to ever stop it is to rid the world of them all , make this world a peace full loving place that we all get along ,

he should be just taken out back and shot in the head , no need to waste time on a trial , but them bleeding hearts will cry foul , and say he can be saved , this world we live in is being overrun by thugs and gangs and i really feel sorry for we sold out our country and so has the u.s we have men and women over in afgan fighting for them and us and the rights to have freedoms and speach , some coming home in body bags and everytime i turn around or hear the news it just makes me sick to my stomach , if they did stuff like try to blow up a plane in there own country they would be standing in front of a firing squad , i say we need some tough love in this country , deal with them like china would ,

worn boots , meiser rod , classic old Dingley fly reel with brass round line guide , and a box full of big drys bombers , one can tell from the picture that it was a good long day of fishing by the worn out boots , only thing missing is a bottle of Crown to sip on , i collect and fish these classic reels and with the Meiser spey rod , well , it just don't get any better unless your hooked up and running down the bank with almost all your backing gone hope you enjoy my picture

great pic's , thanks for sharing with all of us , now i want to pack up and head out in the morning again

i picked up a great rod the other day , and it has the name of the last owner on it , i liked to find a rod builder who can remover the name and touch it up , they say it can be done anyone know who's good or could do it for me , or any of you guys ever do one

lethfisher if your wanting the sound and the scream your reel will make with a good fish on , then yes you need a click pawl reel , hardys makes some still , the new salmon reel and the new st georges or better you can find a nice older leaded finish reel pre 40's with round line guide , and if you don't want to drop alot of coin , pick up a older hardys st john in 3 7/8 , everything you need and should be able to get yourself into a good one for less then $350 , and the best part is you use it for 5 years and take care of it and it will only go up in value , be worth more then you paid , can't say that about orvis, sage's or even loop reels , they only go down in value the min you walk out the store if you need a hand finding a good click pawl reel , send me a email and i'll send you in the right direction , i seen a 3 screw hardy st john in leaded finish sell the other day for $260 , deals can be had

take'm back

great ideal , and from the looks of your job , very well done , your a pretty good handy man , how you at building a rod holder for the house , straight up , just rods , no reels ,
