If you’re reading this, you’re probably planning on or considering taking a saltwater trip somewhere, so congratulations! As with any destination fishery, it’s wise to familiarize yourself with what you’ll be doing before you arrive. Fishing style, techniques, gear, and anything else. Familiarity can mean many things, from simply making […]
Welcome to part three of the fly line nerd out where we will be discussing the history and development of fly lines. After posting “Part 2” I decided to take a step in another direction and really dig into fly lines when it comes to the “their” beginning. The history […]
Catching lake trout on a fly rod. It was something I had wanted to do for a number of years after targeting them through the ice in the winter, however I just wasn’t sure if it was possible due to the nature of the fish. The majority of the year […]
(You gotta know when to troll’em…) I arrived at West Blue Lake in Manitoba’s Parkland region on May 19. The ice had only let go about two weeks earlier and the water was a chilly 50 degrees. Perfect! I love fishing for trout when the water is chilly and they […]

Fly lines are often overlooked by anglers when setting up a new outfit. The reel and rod are obviously important, but good fly line makes a rod perform that much better. For example: I’d never use a true-to-weight line on a Sage MOD or Bolt. Both of those rods are […]
Fly line is an oft-overlooked part of an angler’s arsenal. After all, most fly lines are made equal, right? Well, that’s not true. Certain fly lines are just flat-out better than others, and certain rods demand a different type of line than others. That case is illustrated when you look […]
Recently I bought an 8 weight setup to use for this upcoming season but still had a decision to make when it came to the type of line I wanted to use with it. The questions I asked myself when making this decision were: Where and how was I going […]
***The Scientific Anglers rep for Fishwest , Greg Pearson dropped off a few of these lines for us to put to the test. We now have the 5wt GPX and 8wt Saltwater taper to fish. Scoot will have the pleasure introducing the Sharkwave Saltwater to Andros Bonefish starting Sunday. That […]
