We can justify all we want about pricier fly line. The final decision is if we want the line bad enough.

I actually sink my rod tip about 2 1/2 feet under the water to get the line sinking faster with intermediate lines if I am not casting to shallow water.

Steve, you must have fished several yards from this spot.

I have been waiting for one of your bass reports. This one was really good Billy!

Looks like nephrite jade. It is commonly found up on Whidbey Island.

I feel bad for you Ira. How many times did you actually use it? I attended a time share pitch years ago while in Tahoe with my wife. I was upset that she agreed to go on a tour/sales pitch. She said going for 1 1/2 hours would get each of us $50 in gambling chips. When we were done we each got...

Well, if you see top water action, use a travelling sedge. Fun to catch trout on this fly.

Thanks for the reminder because I was going to go out at 7:00am today, not now.

Very good report and photos. Glad to hear you were rewarded on various flies!

My favorite lake rod is a 2 piece.

How exciting! I did the same thing years ago, at least you now know how much of a good fight a steelhead makes!

This did make me smile! I always like seeing vids of children catching their first fish. This was a nice sized one for the young man to remember the rest of his life!

I always dream of dry-fly fishing in 70 degree windless weather on a blue ribbon river for 16” and larger trout with only a few fly fishers around. I used to experience this a lot 40 years ago on the Green River in Utah when I lived in Salt Lake City.

Go fish it and find out!

Tomorrow is better, less wind.

I have had quite a few nets during my many years of fly fishing. I really like my Fishpond Nomad net that I purchased last year, even for aesthetic reasons. I had been wanting one for several years and finally coughed up the money.

Merry Christmas everyone!
