Comment on SC Trout Stocking Report 5-12-2012 by Mark

That can be the case, especially below the Lake Murray dam. Generally stocking of these waters ends well before the stripers move up, and most of the trout have been removed by that time.

If you put a lot of trout behind the Hartwell dam or any other dam in SC ..won’t the Stripers eat them up pretty quickly?…why not put them in the other non Striper rivers?..Thanks

Too warm? In MT? Surely that isn’t possible…I guess its all relative. What tippet are you thinking of, 5x, 4x, 3x……?

I really would have thought the treksports would be better. That’s good information to know.

I, being a big barefoot runner, tried the treksports today in a river on big slippery rocks and I’ll say that you better keep fishing with your KSO !!! I also have a pair or KSO and they’re way better on rocks than the treksports !!!

Comment on Sage TXL Rod Blank and Components Have Arrived by Mark

Joe, I don’t keep an inventory of these, this was just a rod I built for myself, and I’ll do some custom builds at times. I don’t believe the TXL is available any longer. It was replaced maybe in 2010 or last year by the newer TXL-F which comes in the same weights from 000wt up to 4 or 5 wt I believe.

Are any more of these TXL blanks with components still in your inventory? If so, what is the cost?

Thanks.

Comment on 6′ 6″ 2 Wt Fly Rod with Burnt Cork Custom Grip by Mark

Keith, I have a lot more options available in 9’0″. For the most part most 9’6″ blanks seem to get more into your Orvis, Winston, Sage, and St. Croix blanks and tend to be 7wt or higher. In the 9 ft even range there are quite a few weights to choose from. Basically in 9′ I could do from 3wt up to 10wt, but there is a 10’0″ if you wanted to go up to that in 4wt to 8 wt. Send me an email to mark@misfitfishingrods.com and we can go over things in a little more detail if you like, and I will keep searching for some other options in the meantime. If you already know of a 9’6″ blank that you want to use, let me know.

Can you make a 9’6″ rod 5wt or 6wt with medium to fast action?
