PS,I looked at the Albright Rod web site out of curiosity and what they seem to be saying is choose the line weight based on the rod action you want. "A lighter line rating will result in a faster rod action better suited for dry fly or top-water application. A heavier weight fly line will load...

You probably need to email the manufacturer. Some dual ratings mean the lower rating works best with a double-taper line and the larger rating for a weight forward taper. But, some say use the lighter line for distance and the heavier line for shorter casts. Most rods will cast up or down at least o...

I am glad you asked the question. It made me think about underlining a rod for casting into the wind. Underlining a rod does not change the action it just allows you to have more line out to load the rod thus keeping the same rod action and loop size. When you overline a rod it causes the rod to ben...

Earlier this year at a Fly Show in Denver I was talking to A Scientific Angler Rep. and we were talking about fly lines and rod action and his opinion was that if I wanted a fast action rod I could step down the line size. I think that is why some "experts" say to cast further in the wind ...

Where did you access the ferry? I was in POC in Oct. and was told there was no longer a ferry to the island.

These folks show that they have those hooks http://www.saltwaterflies.com/catalog.html

Thanks, I was just looking for that pattern. I also put it in the sticky section.

Anyone using the Rio Outbound intermediate line? I am thinking about getting the WF10 F/I 425 grains for the surf and was wondering about the pros and cons of the intermediate sinking head and floating running line. It seems that without going to a shooting taper the only way to get a heavy head wit...

I've read articles that say the fishing is best along the upper coast during 4 tide days and that two tide days are best for the middle and lower coast. They offer no explanation as to why they have that opinion. Would anybody care to comment?

Your math looks good for an "average" velocity. Contact this canoe /Kayak rental place they probably know. http://www.canoemusiccity.com/

Anyone know why they call this "Deadman Island"

I think that it's a little heavy for wading the flats or casting from a kayak all day, because if you're like me you'll be doing a lot of blind casting. if I had a choice I would use a 6 wt. or an 8 wt. in the wind,but if all I had was a 10 wt I would use a longer leader to help the presentation.The...

I am reading the March edition of Texas Saltwater Fishing Magazine and looking at the Tides and solunar table. My understanding was that the tides were highest at New or full Moons when the Sun and Moon were aligned (spring tides) and weakest at quarter Moons(neap tides) because the Moon and Sun wor...

I 've read where folks were making their own stripping baskets and screwing plastic cones inside of them. I have tried cable ties, but would like to know where to find the plastic cones,any suggestions?

Thanks for the info. I bought the SA Streamer Express. I have a 10 wt rod and I bought the 400 grain line. I am practicing the "Water Haul" to get the line back to the surface and a modified belgain cast,(line under the tip on the back cast and over the tip on the forward cast) to keep the...

When I wear waders (simms Gortex and boots) I wear a wader belt and a PFD. In the water the waders trap air and provide additional floatation. I don't have a problem swimming with them on. In cold water if I had a choice I would put on my waders/with belt, if I new I was going to be in the water ver...

Anyone using one of these in a kayak?

Anyone have a good technique for making a whipped loop in a fly line without a second person helping?

I know that the fly is covered in epoxy as the last step, but how do they put it on so smooth?Do you use 5 min or 30 min epoxy?Do you just apply a thick coat and rotate?

Anyone had a chance to try the SA "saltwater sharkskin" line?
