Soft hackles, small buggers, sculpins and epoxy coated wing cases.
Mostly, I hang the tail fans in my garage.
Abe,
That Clouser St. Croix is a great bass stick. I have one too and the action is perfect for throwing goofy big floating flies and heavy Clouser minnows. I fish it all the time for smallies and it beats throwing a lightning fast club all day. I paid $180 for mine.
I also have an old Sage RPL 790/4 RPL that is pretty at home on the flats and on bass. It makes an excellent streamer rod as well. That said, its pretty good “All Around.”
Best rod? who knows. Save your cash, cast a whole mess of them.
To be honest, and I know I’ll get some flack over this, the vast majority of us out there cannot tell the difference between this years new rod and last years “gotta have it stick”. Sure, the rods will be different, but won’t you adjust to it? I tend to buy last years rods or outdated models for a fraction of the cost of a new rig. As a matter of fact, I’ve never paid full price on a new rod. The last Scott S3s I bought was $211 bucks NIT. I personally LOVE the S3 and S3s.
Tim: PS: the best all around American beer is STRAUB!!! 🙂
I have an Imperial-made Madison River Fishing Company hat that fits my kick-ball-charlie-brown head like they used me for the pattern.
I’m not sure if they are still making those, but I’d buy ten of them if I could.
Some good advice given already.
I remember from experience how intimidating trying to understand the water conditions on the White River tailwaters can be for the average angler.
This January I added a White River tailwaters video forecast feature on my website. The forecast is updated weekly and is designed to give anglers a good overview of what to expect on generation from the dams as well as current opportunities for the fly angler. If you find it helpful and accurate, I am pleased.

Haha, river photos are dead giveaways. Yours looks like the old distillery site.
No carp that day. It was one of those really hot days. We did boat a few nice bass, but that’s it.
There are a few really good carp spots.
