The clincher... they were not connected, I watched the gap expand and contract, they were chasing each other's tails... it was wild!

I'm singing in the rain... well not exactly. The river was at 22 cfs when I was downstream of the checking station on Friday. Fish were rising reliably on what must've been emergers and I wasn't smooth on the uptake to go with tricos and my 22 brown caddis wouldn't cooperate with my tippet...

Picked up a brown that wailed on a 22 brown caddis. I'd also tell you that most of the fish rise first thing in the morning (5-6am, then take time off until strangely 1030 give or take 10 minutes for about an hour. Then they're active again around 4pm. The fish are active 10 minutes walk down...

Today I spent a little "wormer time" on the wood (flat river bridge too) with some 7 year olds. We started off 10 min walk downstream from the check station and had some luck letting one of the boys pick up an 11 inch rainbow on a wooly bugger on light tackle. Did that put a bend in that rod...

Fished the Wood River today. Beautiful day, some brookies rising around Magic Pool at the Pines, but they were pretty picky to be honest, not a bite and I threw the kitchen sink out there over 3 hours... There were definitely some others, just up stream of Magic of some size which were in...

Flies in the box for the last 2 weeks (waters been coming down; 110cfs down to 90cfs- still a little high/fast/stained for the Wood-- ideal in mid 70s cfs) Japanese beetle Elk Hair Caddis Wooly bugger (wine color) Pheasant Tail nymph Good Luck CS

Wood River, RI Take 95 north to exit 5 for 102 east, then take rt 3 down to 165, then 165 east 2 miles. 2 options: 1) at the check station sign on the left go in park and fish from the steps or anywhere downstream. very good until the hard right bend in the river you'll find walking approx...

sorry to play the trump card. having cast the z axis and da da daaaa, the loomis streamdance glx. the streamdance 8'6" in 4wt was the winner. The z axis may be the winner in 7-9wt, but the feel of the streamdance was great with punch and feel, which the z axis lacked a little. good luck, but...

Tell you what, I have a couple which I am thrilled with... Ross Evo 2 for a 5wt. Never a problem, little oil on the shaft like we all need is all there is to do. Also for my 4wt (I'm sure it'd be tops in 5wt too) I use a Lamson Konic- really love it if you can get over the click. There it...

like the pictures of the charlton- is that the 5/6? if so any price? ;)
