Video – Surface Action
Normally, large trout in smaller water spook very easily, so it is extremely difficult to get close. However, in late summer when the hoppers are around, big fish feed aggressively and get careless, much to our delight.
In the following exclusive video, Surface Action, we explore smaller water using terrestrial patterns to entice big hungry browns and rainbows for some incredible surface action.
For these angling situations, we prefer our Freshwater AIR 4 weights. They have the power to turn over bigger hopper patterns, yet allow for optimal delicacy while fishing spooky spring creek fish.
Blog – The Albie Approach
“The explosive blitzes and readiness to eat flies make false albacore an angler’s dream. When hooked, one should expect a very fast run that almost always peels dozens of yards into the backing. While “albies” will not showcase the same power as their larger tuna cousins, they’re still plenty of fun on a 9 or 10 weight.”
Read the full story from Winston Pro Staffer Captain Peter Douma for a crash course in top-water tactics for False Albacore now live on the Winston Blog.

The new AIR TH 6-weight is the latest member of the 13’3″ family, and can be paired with a Bauer RX5 Spey Reel for the perfect Rod/Reel setup.

The Ultimate Spey Reel
Bauer RX Spey Series
To perfectly balance your spey rods, Bauer produces the RX family of reels in a classic “hard back” frame. Offered in the RX4 Microspey, RX5, RX6, and RX7, the RX Spey family of reels features a traditional look and solid frame that helps balance longer spey rods. The large diameter spool assures quick line pickup of the thinnest running lines and ample capacity to accommodate your spey line of choice, from Skagit to traditional long belly spey lines.
The RX5 Spey matches perfectly with any of the new AIR TH 6 weight rods, for a perfect early season steelhead set-up.
