White River Fly Shop™ Fly Rods

A 179.99 US dollar Brass Pro Shops product may just be the answer to your entire fly fishing concerns. Brass Pro Shops is the perfect place to find any tool for an outdoor experience. They have a wide selection of products that cater to almost any outdoor activity needs. Also, Brass Pro Shops have the consumer's satisfaction in mind. That is why they always deliver the best they can.

The designers of the White River Fly Shop™ rods have addressed many fly fishermen's needs. May it be all about a certain feel or definite action, the White River Fly Shop™ fly rod is sure to be able to meet the demands. It could also be concerning a particular reaction to certain fly fishing techniques, still the White River Fly Shop™ fly rod can meet up to it.

The White River Fly Shop™ rod is making sure to bring out the best performance it could offer. This equipment is conceived with big Western rivers in mind. Fly fishing entails a lot of hard work. It is more often than not that you get to throw rigorous mends that have deep rigs for nymphing. Also you get to go around from bank to bank in a drift boat to thump them with the use of a sinking line. Every few seconds or so, one also gets to punch a dry fly to a new target. You may get a breather if the wind is lying low, but that is a more than less likely event, so it is best not to count on it.

Whatever angle you look at, fly fishing is strenuous but the White River Fly Shop™ fly rod hopes to remedy that. It is made of the latest technologies and top performing body parts. A White River Fly Shop™ fly rod is three-piece.

The blank is made up of graphite that has eighty five million tensile modulus. It is highly better than the majority in the market of fly rods which are only made of about forty to forty five tensile modulus that makes for a denser material that is more temperamental. But because of Brass Pro Shops' breakthrough technologies, a much better White River Fly Shop™ fly rod is born. A new construction process is employed by Brass Pro to increase the material's hope strength. The White River Fly Shop™ rod also has a distinctive look because of all these construction techniques.

The reel seat is machines and is anodized aluminium. Perfect for all the work and wear a fly fishing rod could be subjected to. There is really nothing better than the White River Fly Shop™ fly rod.

So with knowing all these, it is really a bad decision not to replace that crappy fishing rod you have with you now with the much better White River Fly Shop™ fly rods. Optimum performance and better handling is what you will be missing out if you do not get White River Fly Shop™ Two-Seventy Fly Rods.

FLY FISHING: what is the best balanced rod> reel> line> combination?

eg SAGE TCR 9 FT ORVIS REEL CORTLAND LINE

A helpful answer requires more information from you.

Tackle is selected according to the fishing conditions. You say you're fishing a small lake for trout but give no other information. Is it windy? Do you fish from shore, boat, or tube? Are you typically fishing midges and the like...or do you fish streamers & leeches? How far out do you find yourself needing to cast/fish? Are you fishing a floating, sinking, or sink-tip line?

And about the casting...what specifically do you find difficult? Do you truly believe a different rod is what you need...or are you somewhat limited by your current casting ability? You mention "constant casting," which is something that doesn't typically happen when fly fishing for trout in stillwaters. Fishing midges, leeches, and streamers (the three most common forage imitations for stillwater trout) is a slow, methodical game. You shouldn't be casting constantly.

I'm not trying to be difficult with you, rather just trying to help.

As for rods, what are you currently using? If your current rod is a bit stout for you, you could be getting fatigued and frustrated. If it's a bit undergunned for the fishing conditions, you can tire out as well. Is it possible your current rod is worthy, but you'd do well to go with a different line? If it's a "good" rod (nice taper/materials/construction in an suitable length/weight) you'd be amazed the difference a new line of slightly different configuration can make. Cheap, poorly designed rods always cast like clubs (or noodles), though; the best lines in existence make little difference.

There is no magic bullet for tackle selection. Finding the perfect outfit is a quest. You can throw all your money at it, but that doesn't guarantee results...or perfection. Take your time, find somewhere to test cast some possibilites, and don't be duped by ads or marketing lines. FYI, the TCR has merit in the right hands in unlikely conditions, but it's not what most guys would describe as a great or enjoyable fishing tool.

Trout Fly Rod

This Under Utilized Technique May be One of the Most Successful: Trolling Fly Lines

This under rated trolling technique may be one of the most successful…

By Craig Mumby

If there is one technique that not many people consider when heading to the lake it’s trolling fly lines and it can produce some of the best fishing imaginable. This technique hasn’t had a real chance to prove itself as fly fishermen don’t do it often because a lot of the joy comes from casting and using finesse to persuade the fish to bite. If they’re going to troll why not just break out the spinning or bait-casting gear. On the other side of the coin, non-fly fishermen tend to be intimidated by fly rods and think that it’s both expensive and difficult to learn. Truth be told you can get a fly rod for a very reasonable price these days and it’s actually fairly simple to pick up the basics with minimal practice. More expensive gear and different casting techniques comes with experience, but for this technique you don’t need either. You don’t even need to know how to cast!

There are a wide variety of fish you can target with this method. It is a great technique for all trout species, even early and late season lake trout. But also bass, walleye, pike and pretty much anything else that swims in under 25ft. of water can be fished this way. For me, this is the single most consistent method for catching still water trout.

Go get yourself a fly rod and as I said it doesn’t have to be an expensive outfit though there are certain advantages to things like multiplier, or large arbour reels, as the retrieve ratio is greater and you will be able to gain line quicker on a fish running toward the boat. A standard 9 ft. rod is perfect; anywhere from a 5 weight to a 7 weight are ideal in most situations, but if you’re looking for bigger fish go with a heavier weight; lighter for smaller fish. Personally I like to use a 7 weight because it has enough backbone to work a variety of baits. There is a wide variety of line on the market and the body of water you’re fishing should dictate what “type” to use. There are six types of full sink line: type 1 – type 6. Type 1 runs the shallowest and type 6 the deepest. I use type 6 almost exclusively as it can get down faster and you can effectively fish around the 18 – 22 ft range with a lot of baits. An electric motor and fish finder are certainly advantageous as trout can be easily spooked and it can be crucial to know your depth so you can work your lines along the bottom structure properly. Bring along a good selection of flies such as shrimp and streamer patterns. It’s always a good idea to check with the local tackle shops to see what’s working. Lures like flatfish, quikfish, hot shots and rapalas are excellent choices to bring as long as they don’t have much dive to them and have high action while trolling dead slow. Pick up some fluorocarbon leader material. Leaders in the 9 – 12 ft range are best. I usually use Berkley Vanish and if I’m using something other than a fly, which I usually do, always tie a swivel into the leader or you will have quite the mess on your hands.

“Ripping” flies is one of the most consistent techniques for picking up active fish. Make a nice long fluorocarbon leader, no need for a swivel down to your fly, all on your type 6 sinking line. Don’t be afraid to use big flies! My best fly has always been a double shrimp pattern on a #2 hook. The key to ripping is exactly what it sounds like. Let your line out until the backing, keeping the trolling speed a little higher than what you might be used to and repetitively jerk the rod as hard as you can. The more power the better! This is another benefit of the heavier 7 weight rod; it makes this motion a lot easier on the arms. Essentially, this will make your fly almost swim through the water like a jerk bait and you get a lot of impulse strikes.

If you want to switch to hardware make sure you check the action of your lure at the side of the boat before you lower your line so you know how to gauge the speed for your troll. For example, flatfish are designed to have a lot of action at a very slow rate of speed, so by trolling dead slow you achieve the perfect action which you will notice on your rod tip, and be able to get deeper than lures that require faster action. So, when you want to get to some deeper fish with your type 6 line troll dead slow with a flatfish, kwikfish, or hot shots and you can effectively fish close to the 20 ft mark.

Getting used to the way the lines follow the boat is very important if you want to work an area properly. Let your line out to the backing if you’re fishing deeper than 12 – 15 ft. Fly lines have much greater water resistance than standard line and due to the thicker diameter it won’t cut the water like monofilament. For example, when you make a fairly sharp turn with fly line it will swing more with your turn and follow the path of the boat instead of cut across water and thus stalling your lure. This allows you to work your bait more effectively. When you get used to fishing this way you can estimate your depth and where behind the boat your fly, or lure, is running to within a few feet. Boat control is absolutely crucial when working deeper structure and you can actually work the lines to ride right up a drop off or sink down, whatever the case may be. So, if you’re trolling in 20’ feet of water and you see that the bottom is rising, all you have to do is gradually speed up so your line is elevated by water resistance caused by the speed of the boat. The reverse is also true when you come to a drop off; slow right down and let the line sink with the bottom and speed back up when your line is deep enough. This will put more fish in your boat and you’ll find a lot fun out of concentrating on the bottom and trying to work it properly. Some of my bigger fish have been caught while stalling on a drop off to let the lines sink, then as soon as you kick into gear hold on!

Even though this is not a popular technique it is not due to its lack of productivity. The only reason is that people never think to do it. There are so many different situations where you can apply this technique. I’ve had enormous success fishing for bass, walleye and pike with crankbaits and flies. Another great place to give this a shot is salmon fishing on the west coast. I’ve done very well fishing for coho, pink and sockeye salmon on a third rod out the back in between my downriggers. One of the biggest things to learn in fishing is to be versatile if you want to be consistently successful. Give this technique a shot and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed.

Different Types of Fishing Rods

Fishing rods are one of the most important accessories without which there's no point in going for fishing. Different types of fishing rods are available for different types of fishing. Check out the main 9 types of fishing rods that are used often:

1.Spinning Rods: These are the most common types of fishing rods that are easily available in the market. They are used for both heavyweight and lightweight fishing and are commonly used for catching walleye, bass and trout. Spinning rods are strong and durable enough to withstand the pressure or stress exerted by the fish on the rod. Designed as an eggbeater reel they are useful for retrieving and casting baits and lures. The usual length of a spin rod is between 1.6m to 2.5m.

2.Jigging Rods: These types of rods are generally seen on commercial boats as they can easily handle large baits and heavy lures. They are made of very strong and solid material as they need to tackle the changing currents of the ocean.

3.Surf Rods: Considered to be the longest among fishing rods, they are heavier than others. Surf rods are useful for catching big fishes. Their length usually vary between 3m to 4.2m.  

4.Carbon Fiber Rods: These are hi-tech rods that are mainly used for coarse fishing. A variety of carbon fibers are used to manufacture them. Positioning of the bait in this type of fishing rod helps to catch big fishes.

5.Fly Rods: Fly fishing rods are generally used for catching fresh water fishes like halibut, salmon and trout. They are mostly built of carbon graphite. The three different types of fly fishing rods include:

1.Bamboo Fly Fishing Rod: This common fishing rod is preferred by most of the people who go fishing, as it is quite durable and suitable for most kinds of fishing situations. These  type of fishing rods are very flexible and lightweight.

2.Graphite Fly Fishing Rods: These type of fly fishing rods are little stiff yet strong and effective. Many fishermen prefer using this due to their strength and performance. These fishing rods are available in various designs and patterns.

3.Fiberglass Fly Fishing Rod: Most of the fishing rods these days are being made of fiberglass. It is little heavier than the other two, which makes it unpopular among some fishermen.

6.Tenkara Rods: They are a combination of other rods, having all the facilities of carbon rods, fly rods, and telescopic rods. The length of these rods range from 11 to 13 feet. They are also very light, portable and easily available at almost every fishing tackle shop.

7.Game Fishing Rods: Game fishing rods are mainly used in deeper saltwater for game fishing. They are designed in such a way that they can catch large fishes like pelagic fish. They are quite thick and don’t bend easily. In place of regular line guides, they have roller guides.  

8.Boat Rods: They are considered to be a subclass of spin rods. Boat rods are heavier and shorter than other rods and are mainly used in saltwater fishing.

9.Trout Fishing Rods: The length of a trout fishing rod ranges from 7 to 10 feet. These rods are lighter than  bass fishing rods. Most of them are made of granite and sometimes fiberglass.

Other types of fishing rods include crappie fishing rods, bass fishing rods, ice fishing rods, sea fishing rods, and ultra light fishing rods.

Roadside Cafes For Owner Drivers

After a hard day of courier work on the road, there is little as rewarding as seeing the turning up ahead for your favourite roadside café. But when you're carrying out courier jobs in unfamiliar territory it can be hard to tell which roadside joints are worth making a pit-stop for. Here is a list of what we feel are some of the best:

#5 - The Quarry Café

Located near to the junction of the A487 and A489, this vegan café is affiliated with the nearby Centre for Alternative Technology and eating here is an excellent way of off-setting your carbon footprint whilst carrying out your courier work. This café serves delicious wholemeal pizzas and veggie burgers and the fact that it has been around for over 28 years is a testament to the quality of the food.

#4 - Haldon Grill

Known by locals as 'The Grill on the Hill' this eatery, owned by Andy and Lisa Harvey, gives a friendly West-Country twist to the typical old-school American diner. The joint is not only frequented by those travelling long-distance on their courier jobs, but also by walkers in the area exploring the Haldon Ridge. The grill specialises in hearty cuisine and offers a range of meals from chicken curry, cottage pie, vegetable bakes and lasagne. However, it is Lisa's home-cooked gooey flapjacks that have earned the diner its legendary status.

#3 - The Red Bus Café

The Red Bus Café is a famous sight on the A64 Leeds -York road and is parked on the lay-by opposite The Flying Horse Farm. Although the bus was once a secret amongst courier workers in the business it was soon descended on by the masses once word got out amongst travellers en-route to the Leeds Festival. The bacon and egg sandwiches served from the bus are according to food critics 'the best in the world' and the dishes offer excellent value for money.

#2 - The Ace Café

This roadside jaunt is popular with owner drivers in the London area, and certainly those with a love of all things Americana. If you work as a courier there's a good chance that you love all forms of transport and in a nod to the days of the T-birds and Ton up Boys the café has a large collection of motors and motorcycles. If you're lucky enough to have a self-employed courier job in this area on the first Wednesday of the month, then you may chance upon the famous Hot Rod Night with live music and free entry.

#1 - The Little Chef at Popham Services

As an owner driver you've probably visited more Little Chefs than you can shake a stick at, but rest assured that this joint located en-route to Winchester is distinctly different. Culinary Magician, Heston Blumenthal took over this café in an attempt to change the brand image of the Little Chef and, as you can imagine from a man that invented snail porridge and fluorescent green absinthe jelly, he's put the fun back into pit-stops. The braised ox cheeks cooked in red wine for three days are a definite must try as is the green tea trifle sprinkled with popping candy.
