Major Craft Finetail Stream Stage FSG-B462UL Rod…
I have been watching the development of this rod for awhile and finally was able to pre-order one. It arrived last week but due to the heatwave I haven’t fished with it yet. I like the action of the Anglo&Co. fiberglass rods such as the G411, but I wasn’t willing to pay $800+ for it.Continue reading “Major Craft Finetail Stream Stage FSG-B462UL Rod…”
Fishing Art Pt. 2…
Although I don’t fly fish as often as I’d like, I can still appreciate hand tied flies. The wife and I purchased two more sets in the series from Mr. Wilson over at http://www.classicflytying.biz and proudly display them on our wall. I catch myself staring at these quite often. I’ve pondered whether to learn toContinue reading “Fishing Art Pt. 2…”

TenRyu Rayz Spectra RZS51LL Spinning Rod…
This was the rod I was testing out yesterday. With the stream flow being quite low, this rod was ideal for the current conditions and excelled when throwing 3-5 gram lures. I had a lot of fun casting this rod and catching fish. The tip action makes throwing light lures easy and the rod hasContinue reading “TenRyu Rayz Spectra RZS51LL Spinning Rod…”

Fishing Trip 9 JULY 2022…
We had a cold front come through last night with the forecast calling for a high of 97F on Saturday. After a week of 100F+ temperatures we were happy and decided to go fishing. The alarm went off at 0345 and we were on the road by 0425. We arrived just as the sun wasContinue reading “Fishing Trip 9 JULY 2022…”

Gomexus Reel Stands…
We have been using Gomexus reel stands for about 2 years now. It is a cheap and effective way to protect your spinning reels. Since we fish rivers and streams a lot, and there are rocks everywhere, these tend to keep the reels off of the rocks when we set our rods down. We generallyContinue reading “Gomexus Reel Stands…”

Tailwalk Keison Runsback spec * N 56ML Spinning Rod…
After using a Tailwalk Troutia 55L for quite awhile, I decided to see what else this brand offered. Perusing the rod listings, I ran across this rod. I enjoy using Light and Medium-Light rods when fishing streams and rivers because the added backbone helps fight fish in current as well as getting them into theContinue reading “Tailwalk Keison Runsback spec * N 56ML Spinning Rod…”

Palms Pinwheel PFGS-69UL+ Spinning Rod…
First off, I apologize for not posting anything for awhile. We have been having internet issues and it seems that dial-up is faster than the service we pay for. With that out of the way…I’d like to showcase a new rod I recently bought. The Palms Pinwheel PFGS-69 UL+ spinning rod. I like how PalmsContinue reading “Palms Pinwheel PFGS-69UL+ Spinning Rod…”
UPDATE: Simms Flyweight Access Boots…
In the previous blog post, I mentioned an issue I had with these boots. How sand and microgravel were getting into these boots in such a way that I would have to take them off to empty them out. Both footbeds would be quite covered and/or the detritus would pile up under my forefoot, heelContinue reading “UPDATE: Simms Flyweight Access Boots…”

Simms Flyweight Access Boots…the Good and the Bad.
I had high hopes for these boots but ran into a major issue-at least for me. First the GOOD- they fit like a tennis shoe and the traction was far superior to the Simms Free Salt Boot. And they definitely felt less clunky and bulky. I felt more nimble while traversing across rocks and boulders.Continue reading “Simms Flyweight Access Boots…the Good and the Bad.”
