Tuc - Bow River Chapter May Cease Operations - April 07
aaa replied to pepper's topic in General Chat - Fly Fishing Related
I had to work late and missed it as well.... From friends who were there, new Board of Directors elected, Garth Soby to stay on for another year to assist new Board. Silvia D'amelio, who took over as CEO of TUC National last fall, also attended. She inspires optimism and decorum amongst all whom she meets. She is also a pretty mean fly tyer and about as hard core fly fisher as one can get....and has been a fisheries biologist for many years in Ontario before coming to Alberta. -

My person preference, for me, and only for me is an 8'6"....for the type of fishing and locations you mention. I find I am more accurate with an 8' 6", and it seems to load better, for me, at shorter ranges. When I am in a boat however, for me, the 9' kind of comes into it's own. On shore, walk and wade stuff, the 8'6" works better. You need to cast both lengths before deciding for yourself. When you test cast, make sure you aim at some targets, at 2 ranges, suggest 30' and maybe 45'. Also suggest you just use your 6 wt for now and decide later once you get some time on it. Suggest lawn casting at targets as well, which you can do right today if you wanted.

Taco.......

I have some too..... I like my older Scott 754 up on the Dogpound. I have a few Fenwick Feralite's...some from back in the day, and some I find at tackleswaps and get them for low dollars. The Fenwicks, are harder to find in lower line weights...most of what you see are 7 weights and higher. 5's and 6's were purchased in far fewer numbers....great rods all. The FF75 or (FF755 as the later ones were labled) is a great dry fly rod, even today. The FF75 was available in both 5 and 6 wt, they both fish fine with a 5. The later FF755 was a dedicated 5 wt..... I like my Feralites...
