Blessed is the verisimilitude of the fishing fraternity. I'm intrigued that there are so many points of view about something so basic as trying to catch a fish.

I thought we were talking about fishing rods?

Very well said Double Haul.




PS - Today's word of the day is verisimilitude.

DH, of course the Sage ONE is better than the RPL. It's the newest, latest, and greatest. And you NEED the ONE! So far I'm hanging on to one of the two RPLs I picked up in a liquidation sale, hoping I'll grow to like it some day.

Coley, of course we're talking about fishing rods, but because this is the fins 'n feathers forum, it's fly rods good, bait rods bad. I think that's what I read in Orwell.

Looks like Todd is getting excited. Hope he's taking his blood pressure medication. Have a great trip, and be sure Riley takes a bunch of good pictures again.

If anyone needs to borrow one of the not-the-latest-and-greatest root beer colored Sage Spey rods that's proven to catch big fish, before they head up, feel free to stop at my place.

I don't know what it is, other than it's a Sage. It caught The One, if that helps.

Swinging brass is very similar.
Moving quickly through a run this time of the year is the most fitting way to address these junkyard dogs no matter what you swing.

Last week in camp I noticed an October Caddis buzzing the lantern.
Yep, it would be cool to bust one on a skater. I wonder if it would it be a big wash or a showy slash like a striper ?
I'll probably never know but I do wonder about it.

Good luck to the northbound crew.

I find myself switching it up either when I am bored by either repetitive motion, or not catching fish...respectively. Maybe it is just the ADD, but if I do any one thing for long enough, regardless of how cool it was when I started, i get bored eventually. For me a big part of the reward comes from overcoming a challenge or building some degree of skill or knowledge. With spey casting at least, I do it so infrequently that each time is a lot like starting over, and I get a fair amount of reward out of just remembering how to get the line and hook out there.


+1 on this entire post. Well said.

SG,
If you have a 796-4 RPL you'd like to get rid of, shot me a PM. I like those old brown Sage rods. After all the RPL was the One, one day long ago.
Thanks,
SF

Stonefish,

It was a 796-2 RPL that I sold. Still have the 8100-2. Just got a 7100-4 Allen, so may decide to sell the Sage. 4 piece are so much better suited to travel.

Fishermen are funny...... I like this place because PP is more like a heavy metal audience. Hardcore "flyfishing-as-religion" sites tend to be like Classical music audiences.......in that, if a classical guitarist suddenly plugged a Les Paul into a Marshall amp and started wailing a killer solo, the audience woudl be horrified. They'd plug their ears and run for the exits. Much the same as "flyfishing-as-religion" toolboxes eschew any other form of angling or a photo of a fish caught on a spinning rod...the tool of ignorance, in their opinion.

BUT.....if a heavy metal guitarist like Eddie Van Halen pulls out an acoustic guitar and plays "Spanish Fly" the audience goes wild. Just like PP did when Stam pulled out a fly rod to catch a bonefish, or when Parker used a spey rod to catch his 30 lb trophy BC steelhead a couple years ago. Yes, some snickered at Van Halen / Stam / Parker, but it was in good natured rib poking mode, not outright animosity.

I like heavy metal crowds better. More open minded, in my opinion. At the end of the day, we're all a bunch of idiots waving expensive carbon fiber sticks at fish with brains smaller than Jose Canseco's left nard.

No metal here either. Classic rock all the way. What's swing?

We don't 'low no animosity here on PP. We're all equal opportunity razzers.

Gotta' say tho, that Parker hooking and landing a trophy on a Spey rod isn't like a blind squirrel finding a nut, more like a blind squirrel finding the gold of the Sierra Madre! Considering the odds, Parker should never pick up a fly rod again. No - maybe Parker should never pick up any rod again. It's all downhill for him.

Do agree that fishermen are funny, which is why this thread is so entertaining.

wOOt!!!!

No can do on never picking up any rod again, SG! Still have some goals left to accomplish before I leave this earth such as....

-Getting a 35+ pound steelhead on a spey rod. laugh
-getting that 20+ steelhead on a spinner. Got fly, eggs, pink worm, rag, spoon, plug, and jig covered!
-getting a king over 50 pounds.
-getting a king over 70 pounds.
-getting a silver over 20 pounds.
-Putting in some serious fishing hours with my children.
-Countless places to fish on this earth (too many to name here).
-fishing and catching a fish without a guide.

Oh wait, who am I kidding. That last one ain't gonna happen! laugh

That Parker guy, he's a good sport, but I don't think he'll make the cut for either the next fly fishing or bait fishing super model. Something about the "model" part of the equation just doesn't add up - ascot or not.

Isn't anyone else going to weigh in on music in this Sage ONE thread?
