After about week of mega high water, the Ronde is in perfect condition and flowing steelhead green.  My clients swung up 6 fish yesterday! 

 

We guided the R&D team for Sage last week here at Speywater Lodge and had some mega casting jam sessions with all of the toys they brought, and they even left some for us and clients to play with.  I am very impressed with the One spey rod series.  It is faster than the Z Axis, but more forgiving than the TCX...perfect!  The 6126 is a superb all around Nor Cal/Pacific Northwest stick.  If you want to try these before you buy them book a trip with me and you can check them out for yourself. 

 

I also like the new Rio i-mow tips...very versitile and they cast excellent with a properly balanced Skagit head.  Check out website or contact me if you have any questions regarding line pairings for Sage and Rio products.
