  1. Was out having a lesson with Max. After learning basics on spey casting, we started to fish. Yes, first fish on spey rod, not a big one, but still a fish! Many thanks to Max, what a nice guy!
  2. if so, you might wanna upgrade that video card in that list. Why? Nowadays, even online flash games can result in a lot of GPU (video card) power. Not to mention world of warcraft. SSD? a 32GB SSD = $179.99 a 64GB SSD = $259.99 a 128GB SSD = $379.99 a 256GB SSD = $774.99 a 1TB (1024GB) regular hard drive = $90 If you are not in a hurry, forget about SSD.
  3. I love computer as much as I love fishing. as for price, do a little math Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English = $129.99 AMD Phenom™ II X6 1055T= $219.99 ATI Radeon HD 5450 1GB = $74.99 6GB Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 4 DIMMS = $229.99 1TB - 7200RPM, SATA 3.0Gb/s, 16MB Cache = $89.99 23.0" Dell ST2310 Full HD Monitor with VGA cable = $179.00 16X DVD+/-RW Drive = $29.99 total = $955, not includes other things I would say $1000 is a good deal for this setup. That CPU looks alright. One thing to keep in mind. see that 6GB memory costs $229.99, i would say 4GB is more than enough for regular usage, 6GB is kind of an over kill. I assume you don't play game, so that video card ATI Radeon HD 5450 is good choice. Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium, 64Bit, English. Be careful about 64bit, not all old softwares you have will run on 64bits. The old software mostly run on 32bits (aka x86). my honest opinion, if you have $1000 to spend on computer, this one is great. however, if I would pick one computer for my friend, I will try to put the cost down to $800.
  4. Ya, that's what I mean. Thanks for the suggestion. I got 15' type 3 sink tip, but I didn't have the 3-4' mono. I would have to get that. very helpful, thanks! I will give T-15 a try. the line selection is more complicate than I can think. lol Ya, that's what I thought too. You mean cut down the floating tip right?
  5. Hi all. I always wanna get into spey fishing. After talked to Kelvin in fish tale store, I got my first spey rod, echo 6w 12'6". I have been practicing snake roll + cast for the past few days. It's not easy, but fun! Couple questions in my mind... 1. I tried streamers, but don't really know how exactly it should work. I cast out across the river, and let it dead-drift downstream parallel-ish along the bank, then retrieve. Is this the way to cast streamer on spey rod? I watched couple videos, sometimes people cast 45 degrees downstream, and retrieve immediately. what's the proper way of casting streamer? 2. What's good stream fly? (I know it's a big question) I tried clouser minnow, bunny bug, woolly bugger, but all catch nothing. 3. Is Nymphing on spey rod a NO-NO? I searched, spey nymphing. I tried use same setup as on my single hander rod: 9 feet leader + indi + split shot + nymphs. My spey rod setup is: skagit head (24') + floating leader (15') + the rest. When I nymphing with this setup, the line is just so slack. Should I cut down the floating leader? I saw people mention Polyleader. What exactly is it? Thanks, Eric
