Four ounce reel and you’re good to go!
Welcome to TPO
For the ESN 10’ 2 weight, I have a Lamson Speedster 3.5 on mine. A reel which weighs four ounces will balance out the rod. I like the Speedster because of the line recovery. As for...
That line is terrible. I have three of those rods now that they are discontinued. I would not sell it.
DO NOT go to the San Juan River. It is a total waste of time. There is only three miles of good water and the fish are disgusting because they have been caught 1,000 times. I went there for four...

The bar replacement is not hard at all and of a great do it yourself project. It takes about 30 minutes from start to finish!
Are there fish in all of those streams?
While I was in Dallas I had the pleasure of meeting the folks at Temple Fork Outfitters.
They have a new rod series called the Impact. What a sweet action on those rods. It's amazing how they are...
Halliday,
Next time I am in Dallas let's go hit up Denison Dam. There are TONS of striped bass there!
An out of the box idea might be to get an 11 foot 7 weight switch rod. I love using mine all over Cape Cod for the striped bass. I landed multiple fish over 30 pounds on the flats this year. Even...
I recently was able to hammer the fish in Montana! Where have you guys been fishing?
Yup, an adult trico should work 90 percent of the time. There are times when I think that the shade of the fly makes a difference.
I hear you about buying small flies! My favorite small flies are as simple as a trailing shuck of four strands of z lon, a quill body, snowshoe wing with a dubbed thorax. You can't get too complex...
Keep in mind that a trout has a hard time stopping itself. Once they make a commitment they are all in. When you spook a trout a very similar thing happens. It gets startled and moves. I have had...
The SYLK line lays limp in the rod guides and is really easy to manipulate in your hands. The line is not stiff at all. It is extremely easy to use at short distances ie. not much extra slack line....

Fall Blue Winged Olives: The Tiny Insect that Draws Big Attention

Introduction Fly fishing for trout at night takes a special dedication. It requires sleep deprivation, sometimes in massive quantities, especially if there is a large trout at stake. I have fished at...
…it’s how far you go. This past weekend I had Mark out for his first trip of the season. As you would guess it was rough going at first. He got the hang of it again just in time to land a bunch of...

Euronymphguy,
Do you have the first dvd? Play around with that leader set up and you'll find something that you like!
If the rod tip is down then you have too much tension on the flies. Takes when wet fly fishing can be subtle to downright violent!
