Comment on Switch Rod Techniques and Tactics by Craig Nielsen

Zak
For your planned uses my favorite rod is a Sage 6wt 11′ Axis. If you are looking for something less expensive, consider one of Gary Anderson’s 11′ rods in a plain finish, if still too pricey try a Red Truck 11′ 7wt. If you have the opportunity, come to the Fly Fishing Show in Pleasanton this weekend, stop by our booth and cast a few!
I hope to see you there.
Craig

I’m looking for the ideal 7 wt switch rod for steelhead on Mad, Trinity, Lower Sac, ect. Indicator fishing double nymph rigs with heavy split shot. I have never spey cast before but want the added length and power to roll cast and mend. What rod/s would you recommend for $500 or less? Thanks for you help!

I would agree that the water has cooled down significantly in four and five. Floated both in the past few days. I also think that there are more large fish in 3. As for the tougher wading, well it is tougher, however this will keep some people out. Not going to bother me.

Thanks for the kudos. Anthony is a talented photographer, cinematographer, angler and guide. I hope you have the opportunity to fish with him soon. Oh, I forgot to mention he is a terrific guy to spend a day with. Do stay tuned for more!

Caught the talk by Craig with my wife and son. He has a great speaking presence and provided a lot of good pointers, refreshers and info in a short amount of time, while making it enjoyable. I like the analogy to hitting a fast ball. Its a tough thing to do, and he did it very well. Thanks Craig!

Comment on Zippers on Waders: A Fly Fishing Guide’s Review by Craig Nielsen

Try Simms, they make awesome waders and do custom work for an additional fee. I have a short inseam as well (28") and have found Simm's off the shelf "small king' size a perfect for me.
