Mike James of Quiet Flyfisher is very knowledgeable of the Fish Lake/Boulder Mtn area of Utah. I fished with him three days last year. He got us into splake, tigers, brookies, two species of cutthroat, 'bows and browns. We didn't have time for tiger muskie or the grayling. Fished couple of different...

Jimbo, Have a look at Steffan Bros fiberglass rods. I think they can fill your need at that length. THey are a pleassure to cast. Medium action, great for 40' and in. And Mark will work with you to design what you're looking for. I have an 8' 3/4 wt that I love. I've handled the 5/6 in the 8'6"...

Put your name and phone number in your fly boxes. I've had three returned to me and my uncle had had one returned. Lost one onthe EW late one fall and had a deer hunter find it and returned it.

Yahoo!! Well done Bob.

I have both the 3wt and the 5wt. Use the 3wt for indie & euro nymphing mainly. It' handles both the 3wt and 4wt lines equally well. Picked it up for $219 two years ago. Extremely happy with it. Bends deep into the butt when handling some of the large browns from the EW. Haven't fished the 5wt ye...

Or you could go the other way and get the Hook & Hackle DT or WF . Both highly regarded by users of glass rods. AND they're a much cheaper alternative than those previously mentioned.

Mike,

I've been extremely happy with the Cabela's shorty for the past 10 years. I think they're still in your budget range. Plently of pockets, Hoody, D-rings on back for net.

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas holiday. Ours has been Great, so far. More to come, I'm sure.

Blessing to all

Might consider a 10' - 3wt Grey's Streamflex. I've been using it for Euro nymphing, czech nymphing, inidcator nymphing and find it an excellent, cost favorable (<$300) tool. Another fun option I've discovered recently, is fiberglass. I've been experimenting with 8'-5/6wt S-glass with a T130 sinking ...

The burger pic needs a nice micro brew label to make it complete. Still, it looks enjoyable. Where was it cooked up? Credits?

Well, its early in the month, how's this for starters, 2 Nov. One of a few nice fish taken on my new Graywolf S-glass 5wt that Shane Gray built for me. He does exceptional work.

Wonderful selection, Tami. Nice work, Ming. AND to all those that submitted photos, kudos. I've enjoyed them all.

Andre,

Another lake, I forgot about, is Wiest, up near Brawley. Again, a float tube or pram would be advantageous.
