MY FAVORITE DRY FLY RODS..
THE SAGE FLi/LAUNCH RODS…THE 590-4 IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES…VERY VERSATILE…I USE IT ON THE FLATS, DRY FLY UP/DROPPER DOWN, AFFORDABLE, EASY TO CAST.
THE HARDY ZENITH SINTRIX ROD…9′ 5WT. 4 PIECE ROD…ONE IF THE SWEETEST RODS I HAVE CASTED AND CAN BE USED FOR DRY OR WET FLY FISHING…LOADS EASY…THIS ROD IS GREAT!
I HAVE TWO WINSTONS I LOVE TO FISH…ONE IS A 9′- 6wt GLENN BRACKETT MADE UP FOR ME…HE CUSTOM FIT THE GRIP TO MY HAND…I CAN CAST IT ALL DAY WITH EASE. I LIKE THE 6wt FOR BIGGER DRIES AND WINDY CONDITIONS.
Tom Morgan
MY NUMBER ONE DRY FLY ROD IS A WINSTON IM6 8′ 3wt TOM MORGAN MADE UP FOR ME. TOM DEFLECTED SEVERAL BLANKS ON THE FLEX CHART AND CAME UP WITH A “3 1/2 wt” THAT CASTS LIKE A DREAM. I WAS LUCKY TO CATCH A BEAUTIFUL 23″ RAINBOW WITH THIS ROD ON THE RED ROCK RIVER ABOVE CLARK CANYON WHILE FISHING WITH VADNEY MURRAY. THE LITTLE 3wt. HANDLED IT! AND I HAVE JUST AS MUCH FUN WITH IT ON SMALLER STREAMS LIKE JACK CK. AND INDIAN CK.
Keep it simple…chart your course…walk the earth.

“Fly fishing is a lifetime labor of love for me. Throughout the years I have guided anglers from all walks of life…experts and beginners, men and women, young and young-at-heart. After fishing with me, if you have gained a love for the river, respect for the trout and an appreciation of our beautiful Madison Valley, then I have accomplished something good”…Randy Brown…Ennis, Montana
