Hahaha, I knew you wouldn’t let that slide, Jack.
I’ll tell you exactly what is going on between me and the BIIx, and I know you’ll understand it.
First, I’ve hit 115′ with a five weight in practice, so we’re talking real distances.
Hey Au Sable –
I agree with everything you said except that the rod is “clearly a copy of the BIIx.”
CS2 is a Professional level piece of software and it’s mostly only useful if you expect to be working with layers a lot, like to mess with histogram curves, or expect to be processing a large number of images.

They’re not free; they are a problem, but it’s a problem no one seems to care about right now.
Not as regularly as I’d like, but I have targeted the following with flies on multiple occasions:
1) Carp
2) Smallmouth Bass
3) Largemouth Bass
4) Bream, Perch, Crappie, Rock Bass, etc.
5) Striper (unsuccessfully, but I have over 150 hrs trying).
6) White Bass (a blast in their run)
7) Saltwater speciesThings I plan to target extensively in the next year:
1) Carp
2) Longnose Gar
3) Muskie (hopefully with MikeA)
4) All of the above at night under underwater lights; a special project I am working on.Zach
There’s an argument to be made for consolidating parcels of federally held land; selling little outlying pieces of no historical value (and usually too small for much environmental value as preserves, etc.) and using that money to buy more land that’s contiguous with a national park or large forest.
Hahah, me either, Cameron, but those same shots have been submitted for a Smokies piece I just sold to Fly Fisherman, so you may still see them.

I’ve looked pretty closely at a lot of nets and I have yet to see better woodworking than Sperrey out of Maine.
