Started out fly fishing creeks with glass and it looks like I’ll go out creeking glass.

I have to admit I bought my first glass rod in years on impulse, based on nothing more than an in store wiggle and looks. It looked and wiggled like the Eagle Claw of my youth. Hailing originally from WY/MT now in the mountains AZ, my home waters here are small creeks with Apache trout and big Browns. The Browns are my current effort.

I found this site following reviews of a certain Flagstaff, AZ glass rod builder. I really like my production 7’6” 4wt and catch a lot of fish with it. However I catch big browns on big heavy flies fished to tiny pockets of deep water and the 4 wt doesn’t boss them with the authority I like. There’s going to be a shortish 5wt or 6 wt in my near future.

Cheers,

Welcome to the forum. I too have a Steffen, probably the first production blank of their relatively new 6ft 2pc 2/3wt, a great little rod. If you have the opportunity, you should visit the shop in Flagstaff. I did that last October and enjoyed the visit.

Many Steffen owners here.

Thanks for the hardy welcome!
