Welcome back to the new NEFF. Take a break from Twitter and Facebook. You don't go to Dicks for your fly fishing gear, you go to your local fly fishing store. Enjoy!
Hank,
How the hell are you?

My first fly rod was an Old Pal 7 1/2 foot 6 weight fiberglass rod with aluminum ferrules. The tip and butt sections didn't match up correctly so they gave me a huge discount.
The reel was a Garcia Mitchel 754 and the line was a Cortland double taper. I purchased the outfit at the Paterson Rod...
I just rememered the model name; it's Rocky Mountain. As I recall Orvis advertised these as being the same blank as the Superfine. They just downgraded the finish to bring the price down.
I have to check the model name when I get home tonight. It's one of the older out of production models (un-sanded blank) that are in vogue now due to the softer action. It's the same blank as high end but without the bling-bling reel seat. This rod has a black reel seat with rosewood spacer...
This rod is still for sale if anyone is interested. I'm willing to negotiate price if that helps. Great buy here; this rod is in mint condition and I wouldn't be selling if I didn't need the money.
Jack1266,
I noticed you're from Bergen County. The state is stocking some huge Brook Trout in 2 bergen County lakes this week. Dahnert's Lake (Bergen), Indian Lake (Bergen), I'm not sure what townships these 2 lakes are in but if you google them I'm sure you can find them. I'll bet these...
That is exactly why you want a double taper! A double taper has all those characteristics you mention. So does the Wulff. Only the Wulff is not reversable so you'll have to purcahse a new line once it wears out.
My advice would be to get a double taper fly line. Brand doesn't matter, they're all good these days. Since you are fishing small streams and not much line is needed, cut the line in half and save half the line for when the first half wear's out. You'll save some cash! :)
I understand Barleywine reached out to you in regards to the Pequannock. I posted the Pequannock signs on Friday. :)
I ran into a CO, or should I say he ran into me. He had the signs for the TCA. I wasn't sure what to do in the TCA area so I placed the no stocking signs underneath the TCA signs...
It's the Pequannock. The TCA starts at the railroad crossing upriver from Rt. 287 overpass on the Bloomingdale/Riverdale border and extends 1 mile down at the Hamburg Turpike crossing.
I think this is the part that should concern sportsmen. Who are the members of this independant comitte, PETA members?
"They also need to let them know how they feel about removing the authority of both the Fish & Game Commissions in making wildlife decisions and having that brought to an...
