The OptiStream is from Loop, not Echo.
^So I take it that Ion is working out well for you?
I've got a 4wt Glass and a 4wt Shadow II. I love them both, but the Shadow II stands out as one of my favorite rods. It is really thoughtfully designed and does both Euro nymphing and technical dry...

Alright, I said I'd post some pics up when I got back, but I've been busy so here they are finally. ...
Honestly, if the CT is being used, just go buy one. They have undergone a few graphics (and a name change, it was called the Tempt for a year or two before being the Classic Trout again) changes over...
Alright, got all the gear, passport, tickets, etc ready and am set to depart Wednesday morning and the first day of fishing is Thursday. I ended up picking up a 10wt Redington Predator and an Orvis...
Looks awesome! I'm getting more excited every day for my first salt trip this summer.
So the trip is booked and paid for. Went with Yucatan Fly Fishing Adventures (booked through Dylan Rose at Flywater, who was super helpful and personable, thanks again snapt) for two days in Isla...
Yup. I used to do this until one night thieves broke into all the cars in the driveway of the place i was living. They stole stuff from all the other cars but when they found nothing in mine they...
Cool, Quickshooter it is. Now school me on backing. Dacron? Gelspun? What weight and how much do I need?
Just found out I have to go to my wife's sister's destination wedding at the GR Caribe in Cancun in July. I get to spend two of those days fishing. I'm think I'll go with snapt's advice on the guide....

I feel I can't claim something without offering something up, so I've got a 5wt Scientific Anglers Mastery Textured GPX line up for grabs. It's too heavy for either of my 5wt's (half line heavy I...
^I'll take that. I've been wanting to get something like this for the Uintas. PM incoming.
By hurting the fishing I mean that in my normal go to holes that usually have plenty of fish in them, I couldn't find a single one when this stuff is present. The only places I've been able to catch...
So I took TeleHoar's advice and got some Cutthroat leaders. I just spent a day of the Middle Provo with them and here are my first impressions: When properly treated with floatant, they stay up and...
There seems to be a huge increase in aquatic plant life in a few Utah rivers this year. Not sure why, but this stuff is everywhere and I think it is hurting the fishing. I have a few favorite spots...
It seems like a trivial issue, but it's constantly screwing up my presentation. My fly floats just fine using Frog's Fanny and my fly line floats too, but I can't for the life of me keep my leader on...
Meh, I don't mind having to rig up every time I go out. I usually just assemble the rod and wait until I'm at the hole to tie up. It gives me time to watch the river and see what is going on, where...
It will probably keep people away from Snowbasin, so fuck it, I'm game.
TFO has a lifetime warranty, as well as crazy warranty turn around times. I've had friends get their rods back the same week they sent it out. Far Bank (Sage, Redington, Rio) have a fantatic warranty...
A 5wt Redington Classic Trout is the perfect inexpensive, do it all rod for Utah. Our rivers are not big enough to need a cannon, but there is lots of up close fishing that a medium action excels at...
Disagree. I get much, much better results hand straightening than with those silly things. To each their own though.
So the 2015 F150 not doing it for you? The 2.7L V6 is supposed to have similar payload and towing capacity as the Ecodiesel, but with gasoline and it's not a Dodge. I have a friend with the 3.5...
Yup. The Housy has some big browns in it too, and in the summer the smallmouth fishing is amazing (not to mention the Pike and Carp). I was out there last August for my wedding and got a few days on...
Couldn't afford a Prius when I bought my commuter (Jeep XJ is my fun vehicle. Complete gas hog), so I got a Nissan Versa, which was the cheapest, highest gas milage, non-hybrid out there. I average...
Isn't Ford releasing a 700 pound lighter F150 with a 2.7L V6 that does 325 HP and 375 lb-ft of torque next year? Sounds pretty damn cool.
I know it's marketing from Ford, but I thought this video...
Well it must not have got that ranking because of booze if Utah is number 2.
Peaty's are my favorite. Grippy with just enough cusion, but not too much.
I have a 8" flexible boner that works really well for this if you aren't hell bent on keeping the fletches together.
Yeah, just got my CT back from warranty (defective, no charge) and fished it every day last week. Definitely lacks the balls of the RS4, but more than makes up for it up close which is 99% of the...
Wow dude, way to dig up a 4 year old thread. Been done with school for a while now.
That actually reminds me of a question I've had for a while. Which rod in the current Redington line is most similar (in terms of flex and feel) to the RS4? I had one once and loved it, broke it,...
Butcher here, so in addition to my chef's, santoku, bread, and paring knives I've got a cleaver, 10" and 12" cimeters, 10" and 8" breaking knives, 2 6" boning knives (one is pretty worn and only sees...
I had two of these in my old apartment with with about eight knives on each one. Never had a problem. It really helped clean up my limited counter space up (also hung all kitchen tools on hooks),...
Yup, still riding mine. Still loving it.
No chance this is available is there?

My wife gets to deal with Dr. Oz bullshit requests from her patients all day long. She loved this.
Um, no. I just replaced my 9 speed drivetrain (crank and BB included) with new X7/X9 10 speed with a clutch derailleur for around $420. Yeah, definitely worth buying a whole new bike over :rolleyes:
Not sure where to buy things in New Haven, but you have two killer rivers in that state (Housatonic and Farmington), plus tons of smaller decent rivers and limitless creeks full of brookies. The...

Some updates: new fork (Revelation RCT3), bars, stem, and chainguide. Bike lost two pounds,...

That kicked ass. Nice use of Willy the Pimp, made my morning.
Bike is sold, skis still for sale.
It's a small seat tube (16") with a medium (23") top tube.
I've got a really nicely spec'd 29er hardtail on sale for $700 ($750 shipped). Nearly new condition and ready to ride.. Check it out:...
2011 Sette Razzo 29er hardtail
I bought this bike to see if I liked 29ers, ended up not caring for them. It has been very lightly used (had another bike that was my main trail bike the whole time I...
The two years I worked there are the past two years.
Bullshit. Worked at a Whole Foods for almost two years and never saw anything like this. Anything non-perishable (canned goods, etc) went straight to the Utah Food Bank, along with lots of stuff that...
