What a great opportunity. Dave knows how to do it right on the eastside.

Absolutely nothing cheap about them but I love my Winston BIIt's (8ft 3wt and 9ft 4wt). Great for casting dry flies and I especially like the bend-to-the-cork action when hooked up, Richard, which one were you throwing that day on the Kings? That bent quite nicely on those fish! The 8ft 3wt. it's a...

Hey, Bob, want to go fishing?

It will be San Diego for me. I'll be retiring there in about two years.

Dude. I've created a new forum that is a place for concise information. I've also invited ALL OF YOU to have a forum on this at my house or on the river or anywhere.

Guys, just wanted to put this out here. I recently broke my Redington RS4 9' 4wt and sent it in for the warranty service. Have to say everything turned out great. It only took from sending the rod in and getting it back, a week and a half. This is my first time using a rod warranty and I thought th...

I'd love to see the Kern a wild trout catch & release fishery but, until the regs change, resuming planting is a good second choice.

I've been pretty blessed and haven't had many scary episodes while out on the water. My scariest moment was learning the hard way that water on polished granite (Yosemite High Country) and felt-soled wading boots can be a very dangerous combination. One day, when fishing by myself, I had my feet sli...
