We went back to the drawing board to create the incredible new Z-Axis Series Fast Action Rods. By improving the entire rod-building process, we created a rod that's significantly lighter, stronger and easier to cast for anglers of all skill levels. The Z-Axis offers an entirely new level of fishability with unprecedented line feel, response and performance. But don't take our word for it-visit a local fly shop and take it for a test spin.

The CLA has set a new standard for affordable, hybrid large arbor fly reels. This series incorporates a superior drag mechanism that is extraordinarily smooth, heat resistant and provides incredible stopping power. While the CLA is offered at an incredible price, no design features have been overlooked. Each reel in this series is designed with a specific diameter and width to maximize the properties of drag consistency and line retrieval. The CLA has become our dealers' "Go To" reel for anglers that demand an American made, high quality, reasonably priced fly reel. CLA 4-7 (Larger Components for Bigger Fish!) The mechanical design of the CLA is consistent throughout the series, but improvements have been made to the CLA sizes 4-7 to support their use when battling bigger fish. When comparing the CLA 4-7 reels to the smaller sized CLA reels, you will find that they have a larger drag knob, handle and spool cap, but most importantly, they have a STRONGER DRAG SYSTEM. To ensure smooth... See less

Highlights: CLA 4 specs: Width (spool): 1.1" | Diameter: 3.75" | Weight: 7.6 oz. | Line Weight: 7-9 Wt. | Capacity: WF8+200 | Price: $230

Free-flowing mountain streams, for all their beauty and clarity, are not always the fountains of purity we imagine them to be. Backcountry water sources — crystal-clear rivers, lakes and streams — sometimes harbor microscopic pathogens (disease-causing agents) that are tough to pronounce, difficult to spell and, for many people, awful to ingest.

The Illinois Smallmouth Alliance (ISA) is an organization of catch and release anglers helping to preserve the smallmouth bass and its habitat through education and conservation. Participation in the ISA is a great way to keep your finger on the pulse of the latest techniques and concerns regarding smallmouth bass in Illinois. Our Heritage The Illinois Smallmouth Alliance was founded in 1994 by a group of dedicated anglers concerned about the future of the smallmouth fishery in the Land of Lincoln. Smallmouth bass can be found in nearly every body of moving water in the state as long as habitat is available. Illinois is also home to several trophy smallmouth lakes. However, even with all the wonderful fishing opportunities around, Illinois is not without its share of problems. Overharvest, pollution, agricultural runoff, and habitat degradation are all major issues we face everyday. Enter the ISA! It's our job as members to tackle these problems head-on, and we have fun doing it! Our... See less

There are a number of Crawfish patterns that are realistic representations of this well known fish fodder. And, there are a variety of impressionistic patterns as well. The Swimming Crayfish is one of the latter. Many anglers claim that impressionistic patterns work much better than the realistic variety. Dave Whitlock's Near 'Nuff Crayfish is a good example of an impressionistic Crawfish pattern that many fly fisherman swear by. Bob Clouser, best know for his Clouser Deep Minnow Series, is also the creator of a well know impressionistic nymph imitation called the Clouser Swimming Nymph. The Swimming Crayfish is basically a Clouser Swimming Nymph with a few extra parts. This pattern is relatively easy to tie. The only critical part is to leave enough room at the front of the fly to tie off the thorax and wingcase and, in the process, leave enough room for a neat thread head. Try to use Hareline Dubbin Rabbit (Zonker) Strips that are Crawfish Orange - #19. It's just the right color for... See less

Highlights: This Swimming Crayfish is my rendition of a Clouser Swimming Nymph pattern that Brad Befus submitted to Fly Fisherman magazine a few years ago. Brad said it was his top Carp producing fly. Here is how I tie it.

Live minnows are light on the bottom and darker on the top just like this fly is. Since crappie favor eating minnows, they also favor flies that look like minnows in the water. That's why I add the bucktail to this fly. It makes the fly look more like a minnow than it would if everything was one color. If you live near crappie water, try this fly the next time you go fishing. You'll quickly discover that perch, bass and pike like the looks of crappie candy too. You might even catch a few big bluegills if they inhabit your favorite crappie lake. Oh, by the way, this fly is a killer for early season trout in clear lakes. I guess trout like to eat minnows too. ~ Al Campbell See less

Highlights: What kid hasn't caught a crappie on a jig suspended below a bobber? That's a deadly way to catch a mess of crappie anytime. It's still the way I do it when I take my grandsons fishing for these tasty panfish. When I'm fishing alone or with another flyfisher, I like to use a fly rod to...

Here on the Cape, we have miles and miles of light colored sand flats and crystal clear water that makes sight casting to 5-25 pound stripers the order of the day. This is probably the most exciting type of fly/spin fishing you will ever do. They're cruising the flats eating crabs, shrimp, silver sides and sand lances, and just waiting for your perfectly cast fly or bait/lure. Sometimes you need to burn up the water with a fast retrieve and at other times using a dead drift with the current is all that is needed. All methods will require distance, speed and accuracy in your casting skills. You have some of the finest destination flats fishing in the world right here on Cape Cod. Seeing 100s or more fish in a tide is the norm. Test your skills and let's work together to help you along the path to hooking up in paradise See less

Greetings, I'm Captain Ted Bobetsky and I will be your Cape Cod guide for stripers during the 2006 saltwater flyfishing season. I am now booking for the season flyfishing on my center console on Cape Cod. Guiding takes place all over the Cape as explained below. The only area where I don't guide is from Chatham to Provincetown on the outside. It just takes too long to get out there and the water often gets too big for a boat my size. Safety first you know.

Cape Cod has long been a vacation spot for both fishermen and families. The peninsula has more recently become a mecca for inshore saltwater fly fishermen, largely because it offers a diverse fishing terrain: coves, flats, and estuaries on the south side; outer Cape beachfronts; and quieter bayside inlets. There is a type of water to match every fly fisherman's tastes. Figuring out how to fish Cape Cod, however, requires some preparation. Scouting and time on the water are undoubtedly the best ways to learn about an area. Scouting fishermen pick a few spots and fish them regularly during various tides (incoming, outgoing), directions of wind (off-shore, onshore, cross-shore), water temperatures, light (first or last light, midday, night), as well as times of year. Some areas, as fishy as they look, simply don't hold the migratory fish. But a vacationer on Cape Cod usually does not have the luxury of spending a lot of time scouting an area. Since striped bass and bluefish are migratory... See less
