Thanks for intel, Terry. Heading to a Sherman Creek trib in Tuscarora State
Forest, NW of Carlisle. In pursuit of mostly brookies and maybe some browns
Expect to be far enough upstream that the precip won't be an issue.

The next Beer Tie is coming up next Monday, April 9 at the Backbar of
Whitlow's on Wilson. The Beer Tie will feature a Project Healing Waters
<http://projecthealingwaters.org/> (PHW) Fly Tie-A-Thon and the kick-off
party for the Tidal Potomac Slam Tournament
<http://tidalpotomacslam.ncc-tu.org/>.
For the PHW Fly Tie-A-Thon, TPFR members will tie and donate flies for use
by the wounded veterans in the Walter Reed chapter of PHW. They spend most
of their time on local warmwater locations and stocked trout streams with
handicap access, so the best flies are those that work for bass, bluegill
and stocked trout and can be easily cast, seen, and tied on. Al Warner
suggests the following flies: wooly buggers, gurglers, cress bugs, golden
retrievers, and squiggly worms--but others are fine. Feel free to tie flies
in advance and bring them as well.
We'll have a raffle featuring a 2 piece Sage Graphite III 9' 4wt, some fly
collections, a Smith hat, and maybe more prizes. All raffle proceeds will
go to Project Healing Waters.
This event will also serve as a kick-off party for the Tidal Potomac Slam
Tournament that's currently underway. Meet up with other participants and
give them the run around on locations, techniques, and equipment.
Look forward to seeing everyone out Monday!

We will be tying a grey/white Clouser to imitate the shiners feeding on shad eggs. Target species will be Mr. PajamaPants.

Ok, so I am considering getting myself a new 5wt. I current have a Redington Vice that I like ok. I have found that it can shoot line with the best of 'em, but the presentation just sucks! Maybe I just need to work on my casting but regardless I think I want something with a little bit softer feel but still enough backbone to toss a decent streamer. Does anyone have experience with Douglas or Loop rods? Thanks! |

I casted a loop rod once and it was one of the smoothest rods I've ever
casted.

Definitely cast a Douglas rod.
I really like older rods for this category (early graphite). There are
also a lot of good modern rods. Orvis superfine glass is one that comes to
mind, so is the Reddington Classic trout.
