i'm heading up to crowley next sunday. i want to hear that sound soooo baaaaaaad. i just kept playing it over and over. my wife had to come in and remove the mouse from my kung-foo grip to get me to stop. thanks - i needed that.--mike.

Jacob is a lucky kid, dad has so many nice fly rods to poach.
every fishermans dream, fishing with his child. well done.

I'd toss that sucker into the trash and go buy one that has been comercialy dealt with. then i'd take that one and stick it in the freezer for a few day's,take it out for a day or two then stick in back in for a few more day's. no mercy when it come's to protecting my Whiting/Hoffman stash.

pete,keep the second as a demo rod. for one, most likley customers will think it's great that they can try your equiptment before placing an order. with demo rods they can give you the feedback that you need to build them a truly custom rod with regaurds to action and so forth. secondly with regaurd...

sean, sorry to hear about the accident. i hope that the recovery goes quickly. i'll bet that you could fish the meadow section of hot creek on crutches, and you would only be 10-50 yds from your car. just food for thought.- actualy now that i think about it there is a section there that you could ac...

hello jsg, it's good to see another young man choosing the path of the flyfishing addict. pay attention in class and get your degree, you will need a good paying job to pay for your addiction. have you started tying your own flies yet ? tying flies will suck up any spare money that may have been flo...

GO ! any time that you can fish , do it. the times that conditions are tough can be when we learn the most. besides, suppose the iranians or north koreans pop an EMP device over us and knock out all of our electronics. you know the first thing that you will think is " AHHH CRAP- I SHOULDA WENT ...

if only it were true.

the first thing that i do when i get to the river , before i even rig my rod ,is take out my sein net( 3ft. by 2ft. piece of window screen w/ a pole on each side) find a shallow chute or seam and screen the water to see what is floating down stream. then check rocks and weeds to see what is there. w...

when i travel with karen and the pups on trips(3 dogs=3 crates to keep them in)there is a lot of stuff to pack in the truck. when she decided she had to have a border terrier my retort was "well you know- i'll need to get a couple of 4 piece rods because the 2 piece rods won't fit with the addi...
