  • Magnet: i thought we had a spot where we could talk about topics unrelated to fly fishing. i want to talk about unemployment and how it is being abused. there is too much fraud in the system. many of us scrounge to find time to fish while the freeloaders are leisurely doing what they want on our dime.

  • sholgate: According to USGS, Phila. got 8.51".  As of this morning the Tully is running at 1190 cfs.  That should knock out some of that stream weeds.

  • AaronJasper: 7 inches! Ouch, I wish that we would get a half inch every other day! that would be just the right amount...
    July 15, 2010, 09:09:15 PM
  • sholgate: Not to mention how much of the algae has been moved.  It is all good.  We got 7 inches of rain.  Not sure why here, hardly anywhere else has even close to that. But a blessing.

  • big south: Swollen rivers are good for the trout too, is how silt gets removed for better spawning.
    July 15, 2010, 03:22:17 PM
  • sholgate: Silly Aaron, my family on both sides are farmers. I know we needed the rain.  I was in the lower end of the Tully yesterday am.  It went from about 400 cfs to 2000 in about 30 minutes.  (I was fishing for bass.)
    July 15, 2010, 07:31:52 AM
  • AaronJasper: Steve... I wish that we had shots of rain every day. We need it really bad. I know that on some streams the trout are having a real tough time.

Any young guys/girls got a streamflex
« on: December 10, 2009, 05:12:42 PM »
anyone got the 10ft 3wt streamflex
Ill use it mainly for czech and french nymphing but also for dry fly on a little 15 yard wide river.
I find longer rods a joy to use even on small brooks.
Just wondering if anyone uses it for the same applications ?
Thanks.

Welcome Nathan...

That rod would work quite well on the small streams as you mentioned. The only thing that I might consider is how frequently you are going to nymph versus dry fly. If you are going to nymph more than dry fly fish, it's perfect. If I wanted a rod to primarily fish dries with and nymph with on occasion, then I would want a nine and a half footer. The only dilema would be that there are no 3 weights in that configuration this I can think of, especially at around the 300 dollar mark.

I have the 10 footer in the 3 weight.  For the money...hard to beat.  Very hard to beat.  I think the marksman but not at that price.  The 10 foot tfo 5 weight is a really good choice as well.  Frankly I think it is more versatile than the 3 weight greys...

I got one, really cool rod fish dries, nymphs, and some light streamers on it. Best bang for you buck I think.
