New for 2009!
Possibly the ultimate light line steelhead rod for the
Deschutes, Grand Ronde, North Umpqua, Klickitat, etc. We have
already caught a bunch of Deschutes steelhead with this rod.
These fish have ranged from 4-11 pounds. We have used both the
Airflo Scandi Compact and Rio AFS lines to fish size 4-6
traditional wet and waking flies. There is little discernible
difference between the performance of these two lines on this
rod. We fished this Winston in some howling winds, which it
handled as well as any small rod we have used. It was rigged
with a
Waterworks/Lamson ULA Force 3.4 reel for perfect balance.
The Winston BIIX 12' 6" 6/7 is destined to be one of the most
popular two-hand rods ever made. Mark my words: "This is truly a
great fly rod." Andre Scholz Scandinavian Shooting Head Recommendation: 390-420 grains. Use: 425-grain Rio Skagit Short for sinking tip work. Rod weight: 5 1/2 Ounces. |

The Legend of Mighty Mouse Don't think that the 67126 is just for summer fishing! We've had great success in the winter too! |

The Winston 67126B2X, like all Winston Spey Rods is very liberal
in its line-wants. We've fished everything from 390-550 grain
lines on this rod with great success. Pictured above is a fresh
winter fish that Josh Linn landed 01/12/10 with the little 6/7
Winston. This was from a large river at high flow, proving that
this rod isn't just for small water. The comic book hero, Mighty Mouse is a dynamic personality in a diminutive body. That may well describe the Winston 67126 BIIX rod, which weighs in at 5 1/2-ounces and is able to subdue fresh steelhead that weigh 15-pounds...no contest. Landing a 15-pound steelhead is never easy, if it were we would undoubtedly find some other pastime to challenge ourselves...like using lighter tackle, or fishing from really hard places. These are challenges that force us to develop superior skills, and which hone our sense of enjoyment of the sport. The short study video, "Reaching Out From Tight Quarters" by Josh Linn & Marcy Stone, shows one approach to using the Perry Poke Cast to reach-out across a broad tailout while the angler is pinned to a high vegetation-covered bank by a steep unwadeable drop-off into deep water. The Perry Poke (developed by Carl Perry) is a dropped-forward-loop, which aligns the forward cast to the target. Once accomplished, a much shortened rear D-loop may be used because much of the actual rod-loading loop forms over the water, forward of the caster. The casts displayed in this video were performed with a Skagit shooting head, 4-inch long fly and 13' of T-11 for a sinking tip. The |

An extraordinary
lightweight medium-fast action two-hand rod that will make
effective fly presentations at all distances. Since its
introduction in 2007, this has been one of the most popular Spey
rods for both summer and winter steelhead. The B2X78133 has the
ability to feel very comfortable with a wide range of line
weight and fly sizes. It is also adaptable to wide range of fish
sizes from 4 to over 20 pounds. Will feel comfortable with tiny
skaters and 3" long stinger flies fished with T-11 or T-14. Our favorite reel to balance this rod is the Nautilus 12. Andre Scholz Scandinavian Shooting Head Recommendation: 447-478 grains. Use: 550-grain Rio Skagit Flight for sinking tip work. Rod weight: 6 3/4 Ounces. |

If you only own
one two-hand rod to fish steelhead and salmon, make it this one.
We've fished such diverse rivers as the Sandy, Clackamas,
Klickitat, Deschutes, Skagit and Hoh with this stick. We've
caught summer steelhead, winter steelhead, Coho and Chinooks
with it. It may be the best rod for fishing sinking tips ever
made in the world. If you are going to fish B.C., take one of
these with you; or better than that take a pair. Our favorite reel to balance this rod is the Nautilus 12/DD. Andre Scholz Scandinavian Shooting Head Recommendation: 493-524 grains. Use: 575-grain Rio Skagit Flight for sinking tip work. Rod weight: 7 3/4 Ounces. |

This is a rod for big fish in big
rivers. Anglers fishing the Skeena main stem for steelhead and
Kings will find this rod about the right size. Anglers
travelling to the Kola Peninsula or Norway will appreciate the
way this rod handles big Atlantic salmon. Our favorite reel to balance this rod is the Nautilus 12T. Andre Scholz Scandinavian Shooting Head Recommendation: 601-632 grains. Use: 650-grain Rio Skagit Flight for sinking tip work. Rod weight: 8.5 Ounces. |

| The Prom Dress Series of flies tied by Scott Howell has been around, but under cover, for several years. We first made them available in December, 2009. Mark landed a steelhead from the Sandy River with a Blue Prom Dress in the first hour of our initial test. Then they appeared in the widely acclaimed DVD Skagit Master II in January, 2011. What is going on now could be termed: "The Prom Dress Revolution" with many anglers buying them from us, and just as many tying their own. There is also quite a bit of innovation and new patterns emerging from steelhead anglers and guides such as the blue and copper version by Travis Johnson featured in the video below. The Prom Dress is here to stay and like the "Intruder" before it, is destined to be come a classic fly category. | ||||
|
Prom Dress,
Blue/Copper This version of the Prom Dress is the creation of Travis Johnson, who wanted to experiment with a color change on the lateral line. Most aquatic critters are dark on top and lighter toward the bottom. Because our home waters tend to be shallower than Southern Oregon Rivers, medium-weight, instead of heavy eyes are used. The fly has been very successful. |

Prom Dress,
Blue As a sport, fly fishing is the scientific exploration of the aquatic world with tools, which deliver information about game fish that no other equipment can render. Often this information is collected and the fish is released with a minimum amount of wear & tear. It survives to possibly be re-examined by someone else. Even the most experienced anglers are often reluctant to try to explain why anadromous salmonids will strike any fly while in fresh water. Nothing bright blue lives in the water with these fish. Maybe that's the key. |

Prom Dress,
Copper It's pretty safe to say that nothing in a bright metallic copper color lives in the rivers with your intended quarry either. Yet, copper colored wobblers are known to be deadly at times, especially in tannin colored water. |

Prom Dress,
Fuchsia What do they take this thing for, a cloud of blood, a pulsing squid, or something in their territory that makes them very angry? Fact is we have been told by a couple of fly fishers that are in the know, that this is the sleeper color. |

Dr. Slick Thinning Scissors These scissors have slots in one blade that lets half of the material escape being cut. They are especially handy for tying streamers out of synthetic strands, such as Fish Hair and Super Hair, which doesn't have taper in the individual hairs. Tie in bundles of Super hair and then cut across the wing at intervals so that the rear part of the wing is thinner than the front. This will give the wing a taper similar to a bait fish. |

would have been, and could have been. |
