How long does it take to ship a order?
Depending
on your order we should be able to ship in 1-2 days. Depending
on shipping you should be able to get your order in 3-5
days.
Do the lines come with backing?
No, because different spools hold
a different amount of line.
Your
site gives a price of $115 for the multi-tip line with sinking
heads,
but doesn't list which heads are included. Can you fill
me in?
The tips are 13 to 14 ft Rios. They
have loops on both ends and come with a pouch. We send a
type 3, 4 and 6. If you already have tips that are comparable
then they will work. I avoid the Jim Teeny stuff (too heavy).
I noticed that you "size up"
three line weights for a five weight. Will you size up to
a 9 for this outfit?
5-6weight rods we
use the eight weight line.
Do you sell fly hooks?
We
sell what we have online. Look
for more products to come soon.
Dennis,
It
has been almost a year since my father and I went with mike
on a sauk river trip, but i am finally ready to get new
gear. I have a few quick questions for you.
1.
Does the yancy line w/tips include a floating tip? No,
The Floating tip is a nice idea, but horrible in application
in all the single handed multi-tip lines I have thrown.
I could explain why but it has to with density and turnover.
We knew a floating tip wouldn't cast well, so our Yancy
line only carries and floating line with the type 3, 4,
and 6 sinking heads.
2.
What is better about the yancy system than the Rio multi-tip
system?
Our
heads are a little faster, but its the flat mono running
line that really makes it easier to cast. The configuration
allows the angler to spey cast this line......something
the Rio in the single hander was not designed to do. We
compare the Rio and Airo flow lines with our Yancy, in all
our steelhead schools.......We let anglers see for themselves.
3.
With price in mind i am looking at three reels. Ross Cimmaron,
Okuma Integrity large arbor, and Tioga 8, how should i decide
which one to get, what do you think of these, and what can
i get away with for salmon and steelhead?
These
are all adequate reels, but the best reel for the job is
the Tioga 10 LA. It will hold 150 yds. of 30# backing, plus
the Yancy line. Works great.
4.
I am trying to decide what rod to get, but price is a concern.
I want a good strong 8-weight that has medium to fast action
that doesn't cast like a slug, what are your suggestions,
and also somebody recommended the sage discovery series
9.5 foot 8-weight as a good rod (~235$) what do you think
of this rod, are there better choices?
There
is several great rods out there.........but this is not
one of them. We have a 10 ft. 8 wt. custom build for just
a little more......specifically built for the Yancy line.
We can talk about that. Also: The G Loomis GLX, or GL3,
Sage XP, Winston, Orvis, and the fast action Scott are all
good sink-tip rods.
Thanks
very much for your help and I look forward to buying these
items from you through streamsideflyshop.com

thank you for coming by, D
What brand of hooks do you
use on your flies?
We use Mustad hooks for now but will
be switching to Gamagatzu.
I'd
like to purchase the FLHS fly line. I don't have a Pay Pal
account,
but I do have credit cards. So, how do I do this?
If you would like to order using a
credit card use paypal, it is easy to get an account. Just
click on the things you want and when you are done ordering
paypal will walk you through the process of how to set up
an account. It's all the info you would have to fill out
when ordering anyway. The next time you go to use paypal
all you have to do is give your email and password and they
remember the rest. If you don't want to go that route you
can order at 1-888-435-6499 or send me an email with your
order and receive your package C.O.D. Please be sure to
leave a contact phone number if you leave a message. The
fastest way is paypal.
