Congradulations Joe. Sounds like you started out with a really nice outfit. You gotta have some scuds and wollys in various colors.

I would rather be fishin'.

Great job on picking quality gear. I myself havent owned a Sage rod for years, but I've liked everyone I have ever cast, especially the XP - and the old LL's. The new Launch and the FLI are both great rods. Which model did you get ? Also - Ross has come a long way since the days of them sounding like a blender full of marbles. They are lighter now and have much better drag systems.

If you get the chance, check Phil's shop for flies. He's got everything and anything that works well in any of Missouri or Arkansas waters. They are tied by commercial tyers too.. people that know and fish them.

Glad to see you're getting the ball rolling ;)
