All I have to say is that it better come with a reusable spool for that price.

You crack me up Steve. That thing is amazing.

I used to live in Arizona, and the diamondbacks could be dramatically defensive. Usually just after I put my foot down right next to them. The northern pacifics we have here just give a little twitch while they slither off. I’m with you on the ticks.

Whatever. I’m here to talk about fishing, not (rudeness deleted) urban homelessness.

A nice racer, and something else I couldn’t identify-maybe a well fed gopher snake. I’m just pleased I didn’t jump ten feet in the air

I still don’t get it. What’s the connection to fly fishing the deschutes?

I think I have the parts to whip up a steam engine for my drifter. Be right back...

I fish on the Deschutes with some really fishy guys, and about every other trip they'll pull in a steelhead while nymphing for trout. It was my turn on Saturday - beautiful day, sunny and warm, just the kind of day you want to spend in the canyon. Third cast in the first spot I stopped, and...

Dang, were you in my backyard?

5 trips? Respect. But, how big is your freezer?

Two five pound weight discs. If they won’t hold, it’s too windy for a tube.

It's trespassing, and I do it as well. The fun part is hiking up the tracks in the predawn dark. Plenty of notice when a train is coming, but still have my head on a swivel. The only place I've heard of people getting in trouble is at South Junction on the Deschutes.

No advice, but looking forward to your report. We're going to do some DIY from the beach in May, so may have a report before you go.

I just keep the ones from the Rio tippet spools.

You guys are killing me. It’s only march and I’m already on a tuna stoke. 😀
