An Early Fall in Twin
August cooled quickly and there is even some snow above 7500 feet. Our 11:00 AM tours have been filled each day with visitors from all over the world. Kevin and Adam host the tours, but only the English version!
We have good water for late in the season, and the Ruby has been running clear above the dam. We share the upper Ruby valley with elk camps that run all the way to Centennial Valley. Some serious bow hunters with wall tents, horses, and side by sides are good company for the overnight anglers in the beautiful upper valley. The cold nights bring good trout action after breakfast and then again in the evenings. We have every excuse to test the freshwater AIR and PURE rods in realistic conditions.

It’s not too much of a stretch to say that most modern fly rods have the physical properties that allow an angler to cast far. Fast rods abound, but there’s much that can differentiate them. The lesser rods in the fast category offer little to no feel. Others can offer line speed and feel, but lack some of the essential building blocks that result in an optimal overall package. For instance, they might be clunky while attempting an on stream mend, or roll cast. Winston’s latest all graphite release, the NIMBUS can clear all of these performance hurdles with ease.
