both great shares! saw some of these snorkeling and was amazed by them.

this is great, do you think I can ever find my comb when I need it haha! Thanks Lornce.

Looks better than the first fly I ever tied! congrats

your deer hair skills are something to be envied. sick ties!

Great news!

beauty!

I think everyone who is going fishing should have to take some kind of course. Fees are up for debate but I think its a great and easy step towards a bit more conservation. I have ran across many first time fishermen/women who cant grasp the concept of catch and release.it wont stop poaching but if it helps stops a few "accidental or uninformed poaching incidents" its worth it. That's just my opinion anyways

this is a beauty. well done!

Ive got a couple sage click 1st gens. I run one a sage z axis 5 wt and one on a couple diff 4 weights and find them to be pretty well balanced. you are right about the shorter rod tho, ive got an 8 foot amundson midge I picked up as a training rod for the wife and combo'd with the sage click it has become my fav setup. Hopefully you get it figured out. For what its worth i've got a 4200 series on my 6 weight sage one and they balance like a dream. If you find a good deal on one id look into it maybe. Cheers!

What weight z axis? im always browsing kijiji...(much to the wifes dismay) I will keep an eye out but it would be nice to have a bit more info

Everyone seems to have a different style that works for them, I almost always do a down and across and find it I can keep my rod tip pointed at the fly I don't have to do much more than hardly raise my rod. every once in a while I find if I keep my line too tight I will pull the streamer away from the fish. Also a big fan of articulated flies.

Beautiful!

Not anymore, accidental or not. If you cant put in the effort to do such minimal homework like reading the regulation book, maybe the penalties will motivate them a little better to respect the fish/water/rules.

Look up the Morrish October caddis dry and I think its called the Morrish deep October caddis. I also have had decent luck skating a sofa pillow. curious to see what patterns other guys use!

beauty!!

Great read! thanks for posting. started moving away from the super fast rods I was accustomed to a couple years ago.
