Salar4me, you're doing that Orvis rod justice! Nice fish.

I reserve this guy for bigger waters. It is a Schroeder 8'6" five weight in a 3/2 configuration. I fished Tongue River Canyon today. Fast, cold water with big browns taken on nymphs fished deep. BFM's and Pheasant Tails were the ticket.

Thanks. It is a little on the heavy side but fishes well. I purchased it from Don in 2008. I continue to be impressed with his work.

Teter, that is a nice rainbow. And a nice rod/reel combination. It looks quite heave. Does it lighten up when you fish it?

Thanks. The 5 5/8 oz. is the lighter of the two 9' Phillipson models that were offered. The steelhead in the picture put quite a bend in the rod, compared with what I get with the 6 oz. Phillipson that I typically use for steelhead. A Medalist is fairly light and doesn't balance the rod that well, but I needed the Medalist's strong drag.

Teter, looking out the window at the snow on the ground, I am very, very jealous! What part of the country is this? I need to move!

Jennings 6’3” 2/2 3/4 wt with a Peerless 77 and 4 wt line. A few small fish on elk/cdc, though the biggest brown came on a pheasant tail.
FWIW, I have fished this small creek, and a handful of it s clones nearby, every year with this Jennings—— since Homer completed it in 96.

Today I fished a ranch that I'll probably never fish again as it has been sold, effective the end of this month. I had permission from the previous owner and would fish it a few times per year. I used a Barclay 5 weight and a Winston Perfect to tame quite a few browns. I'll miss the place.
