The Sage R8 Power has quickly become one of my favorite fly rods, and for good reason. If you're looking for a rod that can handle just about anything you throw at it, this might be it. From dry flies and nymph rigs to streamers and indicator setups, the R8 Power delivers the perfect blend of accuracy, feel, and power. It has enough backbone to punch casts through the wind and turn over larger flies, while still maintaining the touch and finesse needed for delicate presentations. In this video, I break down what makes the Sage R8 Power such a versatile rod and why I think it's an excellent choice for anglers of all skill levels.

A lot of anglers spend hours debating rods, reels, flies, and waders, but one of the most important pieces of gear often gets overlooked—the wading staff. In this video, we're talking about the unsung hero of fly fishing and why a wading staff can make your time on the water safer, more efficient, and a whole lot more enjoyable. Whether you're crossing slick freestone rivers, navigating uneven lake bottoms, or simply trying to stay upright in heavy current, a good wading staff can be the difference between fishing confidently and taking an unexpected swim. What are your thoughts? Do you carry a wading staff every time you fish, or only in certain situations?

How long should you stick with a fly before changing it? It's one of the most common questions in fly fishing—and one of the toughest decisions on the water. Some anglers will give their fly a time limit. Others will give it a certain number of cast before they switch flies. It's easy to switch when you see fish and they don't pay any attention to your fly.

We get asked all the time if we do fly tying classes. On the rare occasion, Cheech does his “Live Skill Builder” classes. However, if you are looking for this top tier learning experience, you need to go check out our Skill Builders and Skool platform on our website under “Education” #flyfishfood #flytying #unclecheech #skillbuilders

We spent an incredible day on the water with the Teraflex crew, chasing trout, enjoying great company, and putting the new Teraflex Falcon shocks to the test along the way.

Once we hit the water, it was all about tight lines, beautiful scenery, and making memories with a great group of friends. Whether you're a fly fishing enthusiast, an off-road adventurer, or both, this trip showcases what happens when good people, great gear, and amazing places come together.

The Bionic Ant has become one of our favorite flies for fooling trout on stillwaters, and for good reason. Its buggy profile, subtle movement, and versatility make it a go-to pattern when fish are feeding just below the surface or cruising the shallows. In this video, we break down how we fish the Bionic Ant, the retrieves that produce the most strikes, and the situations where it truly shines. If you’re looking for a simple fly that consistently catches trout, the Bionic Ant deserves a spot in your box.

Duracell Jig Variation The Duracell is hands-down one of the most effective caddis pupa imitations you can have in your box! Caddis are a daily staple for trout all summer long. Unlike short-lived mayflies, caddis hatches are widespread and last for months, making a pupa with this much movement an absolute necessity. 🪰 At the Vise: @Brigham Wilson #flyfishfood #flytying #caddispupa #duracellnymph #euronymphing

If Cheech could only own one fly rod, this might be it. In this video, Cheech breaks down why the Sage R8 Core 590 has become his go-to general purpose fly rod. Whether he's fishing dry flies on rivers, nymphing, throwing small streamers, or heading to a stillwater, the R8 Core 5-weight delivers the versatility, feel, and power he looks for in a rod. While many anglers think of a 5-weight as strictly a river rod, Cheech explains why he loves fishing the R8 Core 590 on stillwaters too. From balanced indicator rigs to long casts with chironomids, damsels, and other lake setups, this rod has the backbone to handle bigger trout while maintaining the finesse needed for precise presentations. If you're looking for one rod that can do just about everything, this is a close look at why the Sage R8 Core 590 continues to earn a permanent spot in Cheech's lineup.
