Winston Air Th is most likely in this writer mind the best Spey rod out there. The Air TH features much the same technology that is in many of Winston’s rods, you know the boron technology which helps with creating a light weight, responsive fast recovery and extremely powerful yet responsive rod.

This rod is the ideal gateway for any beginner or less active angler who only uses the two-hand rod a few times a year. This rod features, a four-piece design, constructed of a lightweight graphite and med fast action. Again, great for the beginner. Chrome snake guides and aluminum reel seat all in a sock and tube. Its no wonder why Echo is in so many shops as it provides so much value you get for the rod and they are simply just good and reliable.

Fishing for a day at Stoney Lake Lodge, BC.
Ask any BC, Stillwater fly angler if they have ever heard of Stoney lake lodge. And more than likely their answer will probably be YES. Ahh the famous Douglas lake ranch luxury fly fishing resort, Stoney lake lodge. The lodge is dream to most Stillwater anglers either a dream destination for those who are outside of the province and dream fishery for those who are so close.
Well this doesn’t always have to be so out of reach to many as Stoney lake lodge is a stone throw away from Kamloops and Kelowna, BC. So close that the Fly-Fishing Insider reached out to the awesome crew up at the lodge and asked them if we could spend the day fishing on the lake. They were very happy to oblige.
Kyle Jones the manager at Stoney Lake lodge invited me up for the day to not only fish but explore and see everything that this property can offer its guests. Naturally I Jumped at this opportunity. I knew the weather would be very sketchy so I packed accordingly after all what fly fisher would not go to this place. -
lidrig review
Upon first glance I was immediately drawn to the design of the unit. (Truthfully it was so simple and a why didn’t I think of that kind of thing). However the lidrig had its inscription on the unit and was a solid silver colour with what appeared to be a smooth finish.
