they supply the rods reels ect inquirying minds want to know


I brought my own 7 wt stick with floating and sinking lines. However,

after
seeing four rods broken on fish, I started to use their rods - 8 wts for
rainbows and salmon, and 6 wts for Dollies. They were Orvis Trident

mid-flex 9
foot rods, with Battenkill large arbor reels.

If I go up again to this lodge, I won't bring a rod. I couldn't get my 4

piece
Sage XP 7 wt through security at Logan Airport. "The tube could be used

as a
weapon," whined the guy running security. When I arrived in Salt Lake to
transfer to a flight to Anchorage, there were *hundreds* of terrorists

running
around with tube weapons. Why, I barely escaped with my life. Some of

these
terrorists had longer tubes than mine; I felt..... inadequate. d;o)
