Now to answer a few questions.
Carter, no, to my knowledge the company is still owned by Ross Hauck (sic?); they have simply changed design mentalities somehow.
Steve, if you are talking about the new top-end TFO, if I recall correctly it is a 10th anniversary rod that was also green. I can’t remember if it was from the Finesse or Professional lines but the fits and finish were comparable to, say, a top end St. Croix rod.
DPeurach, I did look at the new 7 weight G2.
Good shot, nice f-stop selection for the blur. I agree that that’s great work for a first try. Here’s what I’d do to tweak it:
1) Get closer.
We’ve added The Angling Exploration Group (on world travel and flyfishing) and Conway Bowman (on flyfishing for mako shark!) to the Podcast list for upcoming interviews.
It’s a complicated tie and I’d need to look up all the steps, guys, but it has a zonker strip back, a tinsel-dubbing silver belly, some red tinsel for gills, rubber legs, a cone head with a spun deer hair head behind it.
More from the show:
1) The Ross Momentum replacement for the Canyon BG looks like a stripped-down Abel.
Guys I’m covering the show for American Angler and I’m basically running full speed all day, so I apologize for the terse reviews.
Hey Nate –
That’s a good idea; I’ve actually interviewed Ryan for the magazine before and I think he’s a cool guy.
Well, we’ve returned from Yellowstone National Park, at least as far as our home base in Arkansas. It was a great trip. I landed two fish over 20 inches, one from Yellowstone Lake and one from the Yellowstone River. Lauren caught a grayling, a lot of brookies, a few fat cutties, and she drew a classic strike from a big 19″er that threw the hook. Great fishing.
As I said above, we fished all over the Park, so here are some selected images. The Photoblog will be front loaded for about a month with these so keep checking for new ones.
