I try not to post too many whining posts, but I don't recall seeing a price jump like this for a fly line... And here I was just getting used to $99 as being the standard for "top of the line" lines...

Ok, so I grabbed one of these for really cheap while I was at the fly tying expo in Albany early March. Really for the one or two times a winter I fish rivers/runs large enough I can't effectively fish with my SH swinging setups. It's got a rather large grain window according to the charts...

title says it all. Basically, I'm looking for something like that for myself to take to Baja on future trips. But also, a good friend of mine who lives in Puerto Vallarta is looking into the same type of thing. By budget, I don't necessarily mean cheap, but definitely NOT looking for top of...

Every Spring I have a tendency to thin out my tiger musky box. I don't think I did it last year, since there seems to be so many (although it also could be because I just tied so many) There's nothing wrong with them, I just happen to tie a lot and am constantly tweaking. I always have a few...

I'll start....this one got perhaps a half dozen casts...out. Should I give it another chance? Nope, it's out. Just doesn't swim like it should. I'll probably dissect and figure out why, but it's freakin' OUT. Another recent tie almost made the list too, but taking the rattle off solved...

I found myself on the "local" trout ditch yesterday....did not disappoint. wish it wasn't so cloudy.... I did manage to find a few players... 🍻

Well, I met up with @ColinShots yesterday to head to the coast in search of ghosts. We arrived to find out that we were the first car there (a surprise) and really only passed one other group all day (also a surprise). Both of these things were incredibly surprising since it was the weekend...

I didn't see it started yet, nor do I think this will garner all that much interest, but I hope people are watching this Laker/Warriors game. 2nd overtime currently. How is Lebron 39 and crushing it like he is? This is insane!

but preferably the 450. Just for my slicing and dicing.... Thanks!

GO! ok, each post (you shouldn't be limited to one overall) should include one over-rated game fish out here in the PNW ad one under-rated game fish here in the PNF (doesn't have to be native nor does it have to unique to other posts). All I ask is that each post has one of each (there is no...

I have the short handled Orvis wide-mouth net that I've used for 2 days. I need a longer handle. WTT for either the longer handled Orvis one or Fishpond or?? If there's too much of a MRSP price difference, I'm willing to kick in some extra cash. Here's a stock photo of mine: I want...

I managed to find a few old friends.... plus, I managed to find a few of these... Some salty critters, mostly new to me. What did 2023 bring you fish-wise? 🍻

Who's gonna be there? I'll be whipping up some BIG bugs the first session on Friday and the last session on Saturday! Would love to swing by some other tables of members this year (didn't get a chance last year).

I hope some of you are fishing (I'm going tomorrow!) but more importantly I hope that folks are hangin' with other folks they love. but MOST importantly, let's not forget this (sorry @Brute ):

clearly it's been a minute since we've had a Euro rod thread, so here's one. As some know, I broke my Redington Strike 10'6" 3wt a week ago doing a bonehead Orvis-style maneuver (that Orvis bend.... :LOL:) Anyway, I'll get around to sending that in when I get around to it (thanks to all who...

So, last Sunday, I managed to break my Redington Strike 10'6" 3wt euro rod. Total bonehead maneuver too....self netting (buddy was like, standing right there), long stretch, high-stick action on a pretty heavy trout while stretching the opposite direction trying to get it in the net. I sent...

It looks like I'll be going to New Orleans in February. Wifey has a conference that I'll be tagging along with. Anyone have a solid recommendation for guides in the area? I doubt we'll rent a car but there's always Uber. I honestly have no idea what to expect that time of year. Anything...

Ok, not my back yard, but a friend's who lives a half mile away. He texted that I should get over there if I wanted to see it. Fortunately, this little rodent killer was still around and was kind enough to shit all over me. Super stoked to find one of this size so close....

I need to know. I fished a fishery over the weekend where artificial, single hook only was allowed. I had already replaced the trebles on my little panther martins and other weighted spinners with some size 6 Gami siwash hooks. Honestly, I'm not too thrilled with how they do. So, what's...

Didn't disappoint. We didn't get into any big mamas and we had to work for them, but found a decent number... Wish it wasn't so crowded... Wasn't sure if this was going to be my only one at this point.... But, found a decent number around this size including one that I sight fished in knee...
