Simple Reel

Inexpensive Aventik click reel... It weighs only 114 grams with DT3F and the backing. Balances well with short glass rods (7' and under.)

Striped Bass and Retrograph 6wt Fly Rod

New rod in action... Excellent numbers and feisty fighters, especially on the trout-size tackle.

After cold water fishing, nothing like strong Serbian plum brandy, home made kacamak (polenta), with Serbian feta cheese, ajvar, and Greek yogurt...delicious!
