Now is not the "Winter of my Discontent”, in fact, I’m full of content. Summer Steelhead are in the rivers, which means that in the off light hours, I’m skating flies. Woohoo!!! I am a big fan of Scandinavian lines for floating applications especially on the newer, lighter and shorter spey rods. However, sometimes their longer taper doesn’t hold up well with the obligatory upstream wind. Hence, the beauty of the Scientific Anglers Scandi Extreme Head that turns over faster than my border collie wanting her belly rubbed. I’ve paired the 400 grain 34 foot version with my Sage TCX 6119, my favorite summer Deschutes stick.
