Your Go-To Western Fly Rod: The 9-Foot 5-Weight. “Many people say a 9-foot 5-weight is the ideal western trout rod and I can’t disagree; it serves equally well for bass, yellow perch bluegill and crappie. I consider it to be the most versatile stick a fledgling flyfisher could own...”

We review the Hardy Marksman Z 9-foot 7-weight, 4-piece fly rod. “In terms of durability and pressing the angling limits, the Marksman Z (we tested the 9-foot 7-weight, 4-piece fly rod) is in its own league. It has an intuitive and honest casting feel.”

Clay Nowak, the in-house creative at Far Bank, talks about conceptualizing the Redington Vice Miami fly rod edition.

A cool late fall evening on the Deschutes. Just waiting on that elusive tug.
Another day with friends on the north fork of the Nehalem with yet another outstanding winter fish. This place never disappoints.
Question: Do you have a favorite waders brand?
What makes them the best choice for you?
For years, I swore Simms would be the only wader I’d ever buy. Now, I am sold on Grundens.
I would love to hear about your faves.

Hatch reviews the Winston Pure 2 7-foot 9-inch 4-weight: “The rod flexed with a lively, yet relaxed, action that would be perfect for small dry fly work, but it wasn’t a slouch against the stiff breeze, either.”

In the Spey game (at least among the bigger producers), I’m a Sage guy and have been since my first two-hander more than two decades ago (the big, heavy brown 9140). My single hand graphite trout rods vary a bit more, but for personal use, I use Winston and Scott. On the guide boat, it varies a bit more depending how we’re fishing and the experience of the anglers on that day. For beginners, the Orvis Clearwater punches well above its weight.
Question: Do you have a favorite fly rod maker or manufacturer?
If so, are you exclusive in buying from that brand?
Just curious.

"Gutsy, but graceful, glass. Epic of New Zealand has created a niche by making rods like no others."

Epic Fly Rods from New Zealand are making some fantastic fly rods, especially for dry fly anglers. Check the review of the Epic Reference 4-weight: “This small dry fly rod blends function with fun, very neatly, and very intuitively.”
