Anyway, as you know, I am a senior citizen living on a limited budget for fly fishing anymore. At one time or another, I have owned or cast most all of the high end rods in my life, however not any more. I am completely happy with less expensive rods and budget minded gear. Makes things a whole lot simpler in my book....................................Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934936932021151476.post-46921891497572975432014-08-15T19:14:42.258-06:002014-08-15T19:14:42.258-06:00Bill ~ As I have written about before... my Ross r...Bill ~ As I have written about before... my Ross rod for $149. is the best rod that I have ever bought! Just remember that fly fishing knowledge comes from practice, study of the water and bugs, and learning from others.

I was in the Orvis shop the other in Birmingham and was mainly just browning, and decided to check out the price of some of fly rods; let’s just say that a 750.00 fly rod is somewhat out of my price range. I’ll keep looking for bargains and enjoy fishing with my Cabala items.

After nearly 20-minutes he gave up the hole. I asked if I could try. Second cast and the rainbow was in the net. He asked what fly I was using. Since they were of my own creation, I couldn't say. So I gave him two flies and went on my way upstream. Later that day I came across him again. He approached me and wanted to buy a couple more flies. I told him they weren't for sale, but if he donated to TU I would give him a couple. He was one of the happiest anglers I have ever met.utahtuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16142738788280146975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934936932021151476.post-262362617273288242014-08-15T08:05:16.354-06:002014-08-15T08:05:16.354-06:00Besides, think of the cost of replacement of that ...Besides, think of the cost of replacement of that really pricey gear once something happens.
