Hi Everyone
A couple of questions....
My STH reel that I was using for steelheading
gave up the ghost. Boy if I ever buy another STH
reel....but that's another story. So in looking
for another reel I was looking at all the traditional
(and expensive stuff) when I noticed that Dennis Dickson
in his webpage recommends the Pfluger Medalist 1595 1/2.
Does anyone have any experience with this reel? The
drag doesn't seem that robust but for the price I could
buy two and have one for a spare. Did you ever notice
that your equipment always gives up in the middle of
an important trip?
Question 2. I'm scheduled for a guided trip with a friend
on the Rogue (in Oregon) just after labor day. Does anyone
have any info on the Rogue in September? Unless I get another
rod, I'll take a 6 wt and a ten ft 8 wt. I know that most of
the fish run 3 lbs or so with an occasional fish to 10 lbs.
Plus the deep drift nymph methods they seem to use seem to
argue for an heavier rod. Any commment would be welcome.
And before you tell me, yeh I know....ask the guide. So
far he hasn't been much help.
