As far as fish-fighting ability, the GS 884 is fine, maybe even a little better than the others because of the light tippet one fishes on that river. It is really more the weather conditions that dictate the selection of rod …

Mar 1, 2021 · A weighted nymph box, an unweighted nymph box (both of these are just one-sided), a dry fly box (two-sided), a tiny junk fly box (one-sided), and a box for larger random flies I almost never use. The random box I made 25 years ago from a Nintendo cartridge container and foam, back when l lived in Oregon where steelhead were around. If you fish a long stick, like a switch, or Czech nymph rod, go for the longer handle. Makes life so much better. Sounds like they will be coming out with a long handle/skinny next season. By the by Ard, a sharpy marker works on the handle of the Nomad. Now we have a measure net, with my name on it.Light weight but Orvis did a good job keeping enough material to maintain rigidity. It could even be a little heavier. Machine work looks very good. It’s got a great incoming and outgoing sound with the outgoing being a little muted. More drag than any trout reel needs, most of it comes in the last 1/4 turn.Apr 5, 2014. #5. jastrout said: Can not say a thing about the 905 but owning and fishing the 885 it is awesome dry fly and light nymph rod.

I have only casted the ZXL 590-4. It is a buttery smooth casting tool that feels light in hand. It will help deliver dry flies effortlessly at any distance.

Apr 5, 2016. #6. 8'6 is an ideal rod length for the Driftless, especially if you only have one rod.

Apr 19, 2023 · Apr 19, 2023. #1. I live in Florida (These days) but I want to go up to the Nantahala and camp along the river and fly fish by wading. There are several camp grounds and I am reading that some areas have no access, it is private property. As I said, the area has to be shallow enough to wade but still have room to cast, and an area with some trout. Whenever I can’t entice fish to rise for dries, or I can’t see fish rise I pack my dry rod, and use euronymphing or streamer setup. As soon as I see fish raise, I pack euro rod. Nothing beats dry fly take. Make the strategy to become versatile angler. I now have new toy: trout spey 11ft 4wt. Plus my friend gifted me 11ft 6/7wt switch rod.On my 4th or 5th cast, I got a strike and it was fish on. An 8" Rainbow, which for this stream is a near-trophy (the typical fish there is 5-6" and more likely to be smaller than larger). So a great way to break in the new rod!

In rivers fish only have a few seconds to decide to hit something. In these mountain lakes with 4-6ft of visibility the fish sometimes slowly circle my fly for 30 seconds before they decide to take it. McCall, ID. Jul 21, 2014. #2. I've done 2 "tours" of New Mexico, one for work and one for school. While there are certainly better fly fishing spots in the west, NM can be decent depending on where in the state you land. My favorite part of the state for fly fishing is the Taos area. Quick access to the Red River and the Cimmaron.It kind of depends on where your sympathies lie. The G2 is the better of two (G2 and GS) for dry flies, which relegates the GS to the second-best dry fly rod ever made. The GS has a little more punch, which makes it a little better in the wind, and can handle nymphing a little better than the G2. T.Waterloo, IL. Mar 1, 2019. #1.

Been looking real hard at one of these. Thinking about getting one for my Sage ONE 8'6" 4 wt. Since it is a light weight and shorter rod.
