TREETOAD Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 The first cast on a new Sage rod on the Cowichan river, floating a Doc Spratley. A pristine morning, silent until the shuddering tug on the rod. BOOM!!! The reel sings, and after a wicked battle I net a 17 inch wild steelhead. My hands were still shaking as I kissed him on the nose and let him wriggle off down the stream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony_Bentley Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Looks like an east coast assortment. You need more mammal fur to float them on this side of the Rockies. And a hair wing Royal Coachman? No such thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willstrickland Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 And a hair wing Royal Coachman? No such thing. Uhh, right. Because a hairwing royal coachman is called a Royal Wulff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony_Bentley Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 If I remember correcly, it wasn't until many years did he begin putting his last name to some of the variations he was creating for flyfishing in Labrador and the Rocky Mountains. If you look at the old generation of flies, they are all feathers with silk and fur dubbing. Take for example Mary Orvis Maybury's "Favorite Flies", which was a large catalog of flies that their fly tying production team was producing at the turn of the century. It wasn't until 30 years later did they begin using bucktail for wet flies and then later for dry flies with upright wings like the Royal Wulff and the Elk Hair Caddis. Here is the next generation of flies. This one is a March Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj001f Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Dat was me.... and I'm still delinquent on order fulfillment. My fly boxes are now far away, but I'll check in a couple weeks what I have. I know I have Wulffs, Adams, Hoppers and Ants that I tied up for Jellystone... the others I've no idea. No pictures of flies, just trout holding water in pleasant places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hands were still shaking as I kissed him on the nose and let him wriggle off down the stream. Woo hoo! I just got me a Sage this year!!! A thing of beauty, I love it and would take it with me everywhere if I could just so I could look at it when I wanted to. Truly wonderful. The action is so different from my other rods that it is taking me a bit to get used to it, but I love it. Did I mention that I love my Sage?

selkirk Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 aaah, someone has post envy how cute! I actually inherited a steel fly rod from my great grandmother!?!?! Still amazes the heck out of me, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet, and unluckily a broken bamboo rod as well. Both have got to be 40 or 50 years old. Haven't been fly fishing in 4 years Stupid climbing, get's in the way of everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner of All About the Fly in Monroe is a good guy who is very knowledgeable. He can help you out. I'd even bring it in for you if you are not going to be up that way--I love going to that shop!
