BTW I think it is hysterical that she calls herself a goddess. Now that is hutzpah.

I just don't get it. What would posess somebody to send an e-mail like that? Especially a business person looking to draw in clients. I know in custom rod building your reputation and word of mouth can make or break you. Guess that doesn't fly for guides :doh: ? Not sure what her target client grou...

I was just going to say, I would prefer April. Here is the thing it is not that April is prettier, though IMO she is. This is about a demeanor they project in their images. April actually seems like she would be more pleasant to spend the day with. There is certainly no questioning the passion she h...

Really, from this thread that is the response you got from this guide. Am I missing something? Granted being a woman guide in a boys club I guarantee she has put up with lot of crap from male anglers. Unfortunately by growing a thicker skin and learning to deal with A-holes she has become the thing...

Hey, what gives? I ain't never seen a beer bong on my trips with the kids. What is this age discrimination!!!!

That's because by that time you are out like a light.

I think fishing with people of any age is not a problem. The problem comes after the fishing, say around ten o'clock when the young guys bring out the beer bong.

When I was out with Treecatcher a couple of weeks ago, I discovered my water filter system had disengaged from the straw. This was after I had consumed several long drinks. Long story short, I'm at Kaiser typing on my Droid as I wait for some giardia medication. Be careful out there. On the bright ...

I must have started four different replies and deleted them all because this is one of those topics for around a table either in a backyard or bar.......with booze. That way when I say something that is taken wrong I can explain better what I meant which I can't do in print. LOL And even if the guy...

It always boils down to what the "Market will Bear". MONEY...Profits...Brand Names...Marketing Hype...Capitalism. Example: A Shop sells ONE High end rod (HIGH profit margin) and makes a couple hundred in profits. The same shop will need to sell (5 maybe?) of the under $100 rods to make th...

I won't buy those slick mags... i learn more by reading the posts here... agree with Jon. I read them to have something pretty to look at when I am on the crapper. Plus April Vokey is on the cover this month. :bananadance: Seriously when I got to the part of the article where the guy was complainin...

Well can you eat fresh water fish sushi style?

I have a friend that uses one of these.

That Redington combo is a nice deal or it was a year ago. I haven't checked. However when you get it check the leader to fly line connection or set him up with a handshake loop. On the ones they were selling last year they did a poor job tying that knot on the models they sent to the shops.

I think something you want to consider is a rod that is easy to cast and feel the load on. Not sure how that will work with a three wt. My first rod was a quest rod from LL Bean it was cheap came fully loaded with line and even leader attached. The line was a bit heavy in the front and the rod had a...
