Flyfishing in the Reel World). Rod Review: Sage ESN 2100 and Greys FX2 2 wt 10'. Time for another rod review. This time I'll do a little side by side review comparing what is arguably one of the best European style nymphing rods, the Sage ESN 2100 (2 wt 10'), with the entry level Greys Streamflex FX2 2 wt 10'. Both are four piece rods. In spite of their common application both rods are different beasts. If a comfortable casting stroke and wet fly or downstream presentations are more important, then the G...

Flyfishing in the Reel World). Line Review - Cortland Sylk (4 seasons on). I'll be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of many of the fly lines made or distributed by Cortland. However, there are a few gems in their line-up including the old school 444 ( Peach. The 444sl Camo Clear. And the more recently added 444 Sylk.

Flyfishing in the Reel World). Tying the Beaded Soft-Hackle (step-by-step). Putting a bead on a soft hackle fly (or North country spider if you prefer) is often frowned upon by purists, but it's a useful addition if you fish some of the more turbulent pocket water stretches of many waters- including my own. Once you make the decision to add a bead, the question becomes: where do you position it? Beaded Soft Hackle Step-by-Step. Drop Shot Olive and Quail). Bead: 3/32" Tungsten gold.

Flyfishing in the Reel World). The Leggy Blond - Hawaiian Bonefish Fly (step-by-step). Well I'm a month and a bit back from Hawaii now, and before I put away the saltwater tying materials I thought I would share the "killer fly" I used in Kona- the Leggy Blond. I don't suppose it should be called a killer fly as almost all the big bruisers I hooked managed to shake off, break off or open the hooks I used. Still, it was the. Hook: #6-4 Mustad 3407, 34007, TMC811s, T800s or similar. Tie-in hourglass eyes a...

Flyfishing in the Reel World). When is a fly rod not a fly rod? No this isn't some sort of inscrutable Zen Koan- although it could be. A fly rod is not a fly rod when it's a Japanese rod called a Tenkara. Modelled after long bamboo fishing poles used over the centuries in Japan, the modern Tenkara. In my next post on the Tenkara I will be looking at a few of the techniques that can be used with these long rods, and where they work and don't work. In the meantime here is a little preview.
