    Hi Dave,

    I am with Mike on the Sage Click III in fact I think I may have had a slight influence on him buying his  🙂  As for lines, have a look at the Sage QDT II as well but as suggested go and try a couple and see what works.

    Here are a couple of pics of the Sage Click:

    Thanks John and Kyle for the feedback.

    Hopefully this works?

    At last, I have been trying for the last couple of weeks to reply to PM’s and post with no luck – the forum allows me to browse but as soon as I try and reply it times out – not sure why? Apologies for the late reply, I was not being rude.

    Anyway thanks for your reply Mark, I would not do the Gunnison without a guide as besides my non-existant rapid running skills I wouldn’t know where to put in and take out.

    Thanks Tim, Trad, Adam and Mark!

    Darryl if you are fishing the Gunnison with a guide I would highly recommend a guide by the name of Nicolas Gibb. Great person and a really good guide. I will see if I can hunt down his contact info and PM it to you.

    Thanks Joel, got your PM and yes I will def be doing it with a guide.

    Regards,
    Darryl

    I did a float on the roaring fork in sept a few years ago.

    Tossing big streamers against the bank. One of the best days out for me. 80 and blue bird skies all day and 4″ of snow that night.

    I’ve always wanted to do the Black Canyon so my vote would go there for your options.

    Any small stream should have brookies. Tiger Road outside Breck is loaded with them. That was my go to spot for brookies on a 1wt after work.

    Thanks very much Rob, I will be a bit limited ito what gear I can bring along so I guess the light sticks will have to stay at home. The brookies will just have to deal with being caught on a 5wt or 6wt

    Thought some of our South African friends might have some comment.

    Hi Scott,

    This is something a lot of us feel quite strongly about for different reasons.

    in reply to: So you think you know it all…. #32316

    Personally, I feel that using a pudendum

    That is one of your funniest posts in a long time Mike, I think you meant pseudonym instead of pudendum which has a slightly different meaning http://www.sex-lexis.com/Sex-Dictionary/pudendum  😮 ;D  Sorry for the off topic post guys but once I had picked myself up off the floor and wiped away the tears I had to post a response  🙂

    in reply to: Macro Lense #66037

    I’ve got a Cannon Rebel XSi…any suggestions on a Macro Lense?  

    I’m on somewhat of a tight budget.

    Have a look at the Canon 60mm EF-S macro lens.

    Once again I am learning… thank you for your input.

    David, this was on an Olympus e500, with a 55-200 Sigma lens with a UV filter.

    After studying a few of them, I have some composition issues I need to iron out, and that impacted on the focus, but the others, it seems like I got depth of field but with the drawback of a soft image.

    I understand that each one needs to be developed individually, and have been doing them one by one.

    I think I have a decent workflow…

    Here are 3 things I have learnt in post production.
    1. Most of the images need to be 2 full points sharper.
    2. Most images need Natural as the picture mode.
    3. Contrast is what seems to make the picture jump.

    Nothing can make up for poor composition and I need to figure out why I was not focusing correctly…

    Mike,

    A couple of other points to consider is that the Sigma lens is not the sharpest or greatest glass to begin with.

    in reply to: Cape Streams #65683

    Thanks for the comments guys, yeah the water on this stream is particularly clear.

    in reply to: Cape Streams #65678

    Thanks Mike and John Michael.

    would you admit to fishing a walkers killer?

    ha ha, I grew up fishing Walkers Killers on a sinking line in Johannesburg about 35 years ago.

    in reply to: Intro #31095

    Hey Darryl –

    I think you are our second South African.  How does the fishery around Cape Town differ from Mike McKeown’s fisheries up near Johannesburg?  I know the two cities are quite a ways apart.  Do you ever go white shark fishing?

    Hi Zach,
