Very nice.. I wonder what the wife would think if I had that in the master bedroom.

Nice... That would work very well on the Buckley for steelheads.

Hello guys, Just bought this rod on sale from cabelas yesterday and wondering what the guys here reviews are? I bought it for two reason, first for my self to take small breaks from single hand on the buckey River for steelheads but mostly for my 13 year old son to fish streamers on the Bow River. I didn't want anything big and heavy but to keep it light as possible but enough meat and length to cast big steamers for the both of us. I thought about the 6 wt 12'6" but went with the 7wt. The rod is design for 510-620 grain line, any suggestions on what line weight I should match up? I think I got a good deal on it, it's $350 but got it for $250. Read some reviews online first and seems like good feed back so far.. Any feedback would be appreciated!! Merry Christmas and God Bless Thanks Marco

I have three boys my self and when all is good and healthy we take life for granted. Wish the boy and family all the best and healthy results moving forward... Marco

Lol... Good stuff DHurst I'll put in a good word for you with BigFoamy...

Hi guys, Just wondering if stony trail on east side is open all the way down to 22X? I know last year or year before it was still close... Thanks

For me.... Stimulators in orange, yellow, red and green in different sizes. On a picky day from the little buggars a #16-18 PMD will get a rise or two.

Thanks... The fun part is taking them to the places I use to fish back 15-20 years ago. Crowsnest is where I taught myself the art of fly fishing, and the help of books and videos from the library. I honestly think it's the perfect river to teach and learn to flyfish. I can still remember the first trout I caught on a dry fly. 3rd week of June, mid week on the Crowsnest above the falls. A old tree over hanging the bank barley hanging on by the roots and about a foot from touching the water. Cast a orange Stimulator up stream from the tree tight from the bank and watched it drift underneath the tree trunk . 5-6 casts later I thought there's nothing there! Went with one last cast before moving on ( a perfect cast I must admit) and BANG!!! A pretty 18" rainbow. It was a hard aggressive hit and 3-4 leaps later it was at the palm of my hands getting ready to release it back into the wild... It was perfect and to this day I still remember every little detail of the "moment" Porto

Thanks for all the tips... I ended up getting the two boys the superfly combo from cabalas. The combos are $99 and the neighbours kid works there and ended up getting them for $80 each. Comes with reel, rod. Float line and backing. The 13 year old got a 5/6# and the 10 year old 4/5#

Never tried using streamers on a river. I'm thinking woolly buggars and muddlers?

Thanks.... Sounds like good advise I have caught a handful of nice size rainbows over the years on the bow. But have yet to catch one single brown trout on the bow! I don't get it...

Lol.... The 14 and 10 year old aren't so bad. As long as get to go on the iPad or iPod for some games at the end of night.

Hello, After taking a break from fishing with the arrival of 3 boys. The boys are now at a age(15,14,10) which there showing interests in the fly fishing sport. So I will be responsible to buy there gear and flies over the next few years. Just wondering on some of the on-line fishing web sites who offer good deals were I could save a few dollars. I have supported local shops over the years for my self but now I got 3 little fly fisherman to look after... Thanks Porto
