Homemade Fly-Tying Station

So the time has come to put the fly tying station up that my dad and I built. Since every station seemed to be $140 online and expensive everywhere else we built our own. The station was built from scrap wood. The station's base that the vise sits on is from an old sewing machine. Everything else was left over from other projects that was in my dad's shop. It took about 3 weeks, but that was the simple fact that life gets in the way sometimes. I could never have done this without my dad. He was the brains behind the operation. I just had an idea of what I wanted. The original idea was to just have a station and nothing more, but my dad really wanted to put a drawer in it. I didn't want to put him through that trouble, but he makes a good drawer. The only thing to complete it besides my lack of spare bobbins and my thread supply being low is a drawer pull. We are looking to find a fish drawer pull, but Cabela's didn't have one. I am still on the hunt for one. I wan...

Fly fishing combo RLS+ Review

Now I will admit that I have only fly fished twice now, but thats because its been to cold or I have been too busy with school. For christmas I received 150 dollars in gift cards to Cabela's and I had another visa gift card for 50 dollars. I have been looking into fly fishing for the challenge and a new type of fishing. I went to Cabela's with my gift cards looking to buy a fly fishing set up. I found the RLS+ combo, normally 320 dollars for a special of 170 dollars. I couldn't pass up that offer so I sprang for it. The kit breaks into four pieces and is equipped with the RLS+ reel with Cabela's premium fly line an backing with a leader already tied. All you need is some tippet and a fly and your ready to go! The combo also comes with a black Cabela's case. The combo is a smooth cast, well once I learned to cast the fly rod of course. The combo comes in a couple of different weights and lengths. I wanted something that would last and be used in most types of fishi...

Cabela's RLS+ Fly rod combo review after a year of slaying fish!

So it has been a year since I have started fly fishing. That would mean it has been a year using this fly rod combo from Cabela's. This is the Cabela's RLS+ fly fishing combo. It comes with the Cabela's brand RLS+ rod, reel, and hard carrying case. The fly line is advertised as "premium" or their best quality line. I will come back to that. I started using this rod and is the same rod that I have had for the year. I caught many fish and it does great for me. The cost is $320.00, but it is typically on sale. Right now it is on sale for $150.00. This is a great deal. I recommend this combo to anyone wanting to take a stab at fly fishing. It is not the best quality, but I had a thought process before buying this. I knew that I loved fishing and that I wanted to try fly fishing. What if I turned out to not like fly fishing? If I would have spent a ton of money on a rod, reel, line, etc; I would have regretted the purchase. At the same time one has to look at buyi...
