gonefishin Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 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'. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Brian K. Shaffer Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 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 best fishes - Brian Just once I wish a trout would wink at me! ozarkflyfisher@gmail.com I'm the guy wearing the same Simms longbilled hat for 10 years now.
