    YT in the PNW

    I'd like to know what piece of water you shot that SRC snorkeling video in. Just out of idle curiosity, of course. :cool:

    fishing rabbit strip flies

    My vote would be #2. I don't think it would take more than 10-15 minutes for a bunny leech to become fully waterlogged. I know I get tired and sloppy at some point, so I strip in some shooting line and make shorter casts to refocus. If you're doing mostly single spey, you're actually getting...

    Spey Bros

    I heard the other day that he's living in Idaho now. He's still doing videos for Far Banks and the locations look Idahoish.

    Tropical Water Flies?

    I'm not a tropical water angler, so I don't know the worth of these flies. Make me an offer. They were received in a donation, so I prefer the payment be made as a donation to Project Healing Waters. $10? $20? $50? You tell me what's fair.

    Les Johnson's Fly-Fishing Coastal Cutthroat Trout

    Hard cover signed edition of Les Johnson's Fly-Fishing Coastal Cutthroat Trout. Excellent like new condition. This was received in a donation, so I'd prefer the buyer make a donation to Project Healing Waters rather than paying me. I feel a donation of between $75 and $100 would be...

    Big Fish Flies

    I'm in the Elk Plain area near Bethel high school. I received some flies in a recent donation that my folks won't use. I'm thinking these are for big trout or bass. There are probably 25-30 flies in the pile. More big flies. Musky? There are 15 total in two sizes. Magnetic rod holder...

    Anyone missing a "Fly Fishing Rod" (NIB Burkie 8134-4)

    Should be easy to call Kerry and give him the serial number to see if original buyer's name matches seller's.

    Switch vs spey recommendation

    I recommend practicing the Roll Cast and the Switch Cast. The Roll Cast is the basis of the power stroke for every cast, and the Switch Cast will help you develop your D-loop. It's incredibly important that the D-loop is in line with the anchor and target. You can have your anchor in the...

    Thank you for your service question.

    When I'm thanked for my service, I simply reply with, "Thank you for your support." I watched a presentation by a veteran's group about this subject, and one combat veteran said he hated being thanked. He saw the horrible aftereffects of his actions in the war and did not want to be thanked...

    What flavor of weirdness do you have?

    I have a particular tying weirdness, but my wife discourages me from discussing it in public.

    How can ya tell

    I believe, technically, if it hasn't been to sea, it cannot be considered a steelhead. But the bios here may correct me.
