Even though there was an early heads up on the new Echo Fly Fishing Glass Spey series of two-handers, the official news release was sent out last week which you'll find below. I'll follow this post in the coming days with some notes from Tim Rajeff on the series that will be a fun read as you consider adding one, or several, of these fiberglass two-handers to your stash.
I have all three models in hand and working on matching lines to each for some spring two-hander play around here. Striped bass on the Saluda River? I think so.

Last weekend, I spent several days in Atlanta for the annual Fly Fishing Show stop. I hadn't been at this show since 2018, which seems like forever ago, and it was a good time. Until I had gotten the invitation to be at the Oak & Oscar booth for the weekend, I had only planned on being at the show on Friday. Being there two days give me more time to walk the room and see everyone which was good.
I'll say it at the beginning of the post that I really appreciate Chase for the invite, a place to stay with the team at their Airbnb, and making up a couple different collaborat ..read more

This past weekend at the Fly Fishing Show, I spent quite a bit of time at the Moonlit Fly Fishing booth talking shop with Brandon Moon and Brent Auger. They had a late prototype of their next generation of Lunar S-Glass that they are calling the Lunar S2 Glass and I was immediately impressed.
Changes to the Lunar S2 Glass fly rods include taper adjustments on S-Glass fiberglass blanks, translucent olive green throughout the series from 2-weight to 8-weight, higher grade components to include figured wood or metal inserts depending on the model, and mini to full size fighting butt ..read more
