The Salmon River has the steelies in a craze as we speak.  Check this baby out!

I have never caught a Golden Dorado, but it is constantly creeping up my to catch list with raging force.

Enjoy this cool vid!

Ever wondered  how many pieces are the best?  I have.  I think for me it depends on whether or not I am traveling to fish, buying a new fly rod,  or fishing close to home with an old favorite rod.    If  I know I will be fishing close to home and I have a good casting familiar rod, I will not hesitate to use it.  I think that would be the only scenario that I would.  Every other circumstance I believe I would choose a four piece rod.  Years ago four piece rods were bulky and unbalanced.  The technology wave has taken away the bulky awkwardness of four plus piece rods.  They are balanced, light, strong, and function just as well as most two piece rods. They are more versatile for traveling.  With one Cary on bag I have carried three four piece rods, and all my reels , clothes , etc..  so  you don’t have to worry about your rods not making it to your destination.  Four piece rods pack well while hiking, camping, or back-country horse back trips.

So in conclusion I would pick four piece rods over two piece rods 90% of the time.  Those of you who have not kept up with technology and the progression of composite materials and fly rods, you need to.  Don’t throw away your old standby because I know there are some sweet casting rods that are outdated, but you owe it to yourself  to try something new if you have not already.

OK, it is important to stay as warm as possible while fishing in the winter.  Waders are an essential part of that.  I’ve found you can still get away with wearing breathable waders vs. neoprene if you where fleece pants underneathe.  The very most important part of your attire in the winter is your wading boots.  Make sure you go one, or two sizes larger than you do in the summer for your boots.  This allows good circulation, and also makes it easy to get your boots on and off when they are cold, or frozen.  You might also consider a boot-foot wader.  With a boot-foot wader you don’t have to mess with bending over and fighting frozen laces etc., just make sure you go a size big. Follow this advice and you will have a more pleasant experience fishing in the winter.
