I grew up with a springer and it was an amazing dog.

I need another rod about as much as I need a hole in my head, but I am thinking that 5wt G is looking pretty tempting . . .

Mike,

Just to make the picture a little more interesting, I noticed that Scott has reissued two G series rods as part of their Classic program.  You can get the  8’4″ G in a 4 and 5 weights right now.  I have fished both the G2 and the G (which I own in the 884 configuration) and like the G better.  I like mine with an SA XPS line, although they tend to kink up a bit.  

Cheers,

Jay

I finished a couple of days ago and agree that it is a great book.

[Jay Hake]

I have saved the podcast until I finish the book, which I am really close to doing.

[Jay Hake]

Zach,

Thanks for the info on the production of the podcast, I appreciate it.

[Jay Hake]

I think the vast majority of the podcasts are excellent.

[Jay Hake]

Great discussion and I agree that there is no “best”.

I have a friend who used to work at Whiting.

Thanks for the heads up Zach, I loved that Men’s Journal article.

[Jay Hake]

Thanks for the photos JT. Welcome.

By the way Mike,

How many permit are you at these days?

Zach,

Mike (if he was willing) would be a fun podcast guest.

[Jay Hake]

 I need to read more and be online less.

Amen Brother.

I highly recommend Ted Leeson’s Inventing Montana. If you’re between 30 and 50 and know the Madison Valley, you’ll simply appreciate the quality and thoughtfulness of the prose. If you’re over 50, you’ll get it.

Must agree heartily with this recommendation.

[Jay Hake]

Welcome Mike,

Great to have you hear.

[Jay Hake]

Sorry, my lips are sealed.

[Jay Hake]

Hey guys –

Got someone lined up but it’s fallen through before.  If it goes as planned, it’ll be a great interview.

Zach

Not the infamous Tom Bie interview, is it?!?!

[Jay Hake]

I wear a size 10 street shoe and I bought size 10 in the simms guide boots too.

Where’s the love for High Country Flies?  

Jack Dennis and Westbank are overrated.

+1 for High Country Flies.  They have always been good to me when I have visited their shop.  Don’t overlook Flat Creek, it is my favorite place up there.  Challenging, but well worth it (sorry for the poor pic quality).
