Anyone loose a 2 piece St. Croix 5wt? Let me know what King Co. Lake and the reel that was on it, and I will get it back to you. Otherwise I will clean it up and give it away.

Yes. Yes, it can. Went 6 for 7 yesterday. This was the biggun for the day.

I recently came into possession of Heddon 702 Tubular Glass rod from 1951, complete with Faux Bamboo "browntone" finish! Cork and reel seat are in great condition, and has a nice patina. Guide and ferrule wraps are starting to come undone, but that will be a fun project to fix. I'd like to put...

I've never seen one of these in the house, but it popped out of a piece of wood we've had from the Okanogan area for a couple years now, if that matters 😄. I'd say it was about 10mm in diameter. Maybe a little smaller. It was fast too.

Josh's 2023 sunfish thread sent me on a little trip down memory lane. When I lived in NC I had a small river/creek that was 10 minutes from my front door. Jam packed with sunfish and the occasional bass, catfish or other exotics. You could fish it year round but the spring and early summer...

I found this in a central washington parking area to a certain hike in Lake. Let me know if you think it might be yours.

I have been on a low-key mission to shake fins with a WA mackinaw for a couple of years now. Last year was my first true attempt and a pretty disappointing one with nary a bump from the depth dwellers. This year I went in with more of a plan targeting a shelf between 30 and 40 feet deep. Which...

TL;DR - Get out and fish, leave the topwater at home, dont be bashful about size of fly, bass are biting. Well it would have been easy for me to be super lame and bum round the house, but to hell with that! If I have to mow the lawn then there are surely some bass to be caught, right? Armed...

Does anyone successfully target carp West of the Cascades with a fly? I'd love to hear about it. There are a handful of places I can think of where it can be done, maybe. My closest encounter was at Lk Sammamish, I had one hit a leach and follow it in but didn't connect. The sucker must have...

I've been plagued by a slow leak that I was having trouble finding, until today. Anyone have a fix?

I haven't been been to the local wetspot since April. This walk-in pond during the summer months, is over takin by damsels and dragons (band name?) and the bass definitely key in on them. Even leaping out of the water to grab unsuspecting bystanders off the reeds. I had a couple hours and...

Good, bad, or ugly?

I recently got the NFC 10wt blank, but need help picking the right guides for it. I wanted to go with RECoils for the guides, but not 100% sure about the sizing. This is my 2nd rod build and first time picking guide sizes myself. My 1st rod's component was from a kit. I can find plenty on the...

Any good tricks to keeping a reel firmly attached to an old school reel seat with the slide band, without ruining the aesthetics? This reel seat in particular has the cork spacer. TIA

What are yall tying this year?

Caught this funny looking trout.
