Oh yeah, packraft nirvana! Hoping to float it with mine in the next couple weeks.Wow looks like a great packrafting river. All attention goes to the Bob and the SFF but the swan river sounds like a sneaky good time. Thanks for the report!

Hey Ryan,Singlehandjay -
I'm curious, which TR do you have? I just picked up a 12 ft 4 wt TR a couple weekends ago. I think it's an older model (unused but on clearance at a shop in Oregon). Ironically, I also put a Guru on it, mostly because I had one with me on the trip and wanted to try out the rod. I bought a line based on an Echo chart we found online while in the shop - I think it's 320 grain Rage, but might not have that exactly right.
I'm not a very experienced spey caster but the line and rod seem pretty well matched and will be a lot of fun on the bigger rivers in this region, and for trips to Montana and Wyoming. The key is that it will get me to practice my 2-handed casting more to be ready for when the coho and (hopefully) steelhead get here later this year!

Damn man.....color me jealous. That looks fantastic.
It’s almost always that time.It's getting to be about that time...
Why? That need is not apparent in your post.I need to thin the quiver.
That is an astute observation, and a very valid question. I’ll need to ponder.Why? That need is not apparent in your post.
Curious if anyone has experience with the Sage Trout Spey HD in 2wt? I have the 4wt and love it for swinging bigger streamers for winter trout and as a summer steelhead rod. However, I'm looking for something better suited for soft hackles and dries for summer trout. I got to cast the Sage G5 Trout Spey 3wt and liked it, but I feel like a 2wt might be more fun.
Hey Ryan,
The one I have is the 11'3" 4wt. I'm running a 200 grain commando groove that blasts casts out like an 8wt. Truth be told I love this, it's fun to cast and makes a fighter out of a smaller fish then when you get something a little bigger......!
That is for sure a lucky hat. Go Cougs!traded up from an older Redington 3wt to an Orvis Mission 4wt last year and proceeded to have a 30 fish day on the MO. All on a silver and gold kreelex.
