Fly fishing during runoff can be a drag, with very few options available to anglers it can be hard to be motivated to fish. We all know that our local tailwaters, stillwaters, and warmwater options are available during this time...
Spring is here and the fishing has been amazing! We’ve been receiving some cooler weather lately, but don’t let that deter you from getting out. These cloudy, rainy days offer the best BWO dry fly fishing. Caddis are beginning to...
A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to take a hosted trip with eight of our customers to Christmas Island. The trip was truly incredible and unlike anything I’ve done before. Wade fishing the endless sand and coral flats,...
Very happy with this rod. It feels more responsive than my Sage, and my casting accuracy has improved. This is my first 10’ rod and the extra foot makes a bigger difference than I realized. I appreciate all the time and education Golden Fly shop gave me during my rod search.
Purchased the Winston Air 2 4 wt. 8'-6" with a Sage LT reel to have a go to dry setup. It casts a dry extremely well and upped my game. My Sage X tip had recently snapped in two fighting a large brown, and I am in that wait for repairs cycle. Been using the Air 2 for nymphing in the morning switching to a dry setup in the afternoon, and it has been great for both.
Stopped in for the first time, the guys in the shop were very helpfull!
Bought fly tying equipment, midges for fishing and yarn strike indicators.
The shop has a huge selection of flies, will be back.
New to fly fishing, and I don't have a lot to compare this to, but it's held up well; being banged around as I learn the ropes of setting up the tackle. It's a good weight, balanced on the rod, etc. Like I said I haven't experienced lower quality reels so I don't know what goes wrong with them, but this one is "not there" in the best way. IE it does what it's supposed to without any problems.
This is the new drag set reel not the pawl reel. It is a well balanced reel that does what it should. Very easy to set the drag and it is consistent every time.
I’ve been looking for a mid-weight pant to wear under my waiters for sometime. These were perfect. Just enough for those cold days, but not too much for warm days. They are cut slim, so they easily slide into the waders without pushing up at the ankles. They are exactly what I was looking for.
