N. Idaho

It was cold and very few fish were caught but it was good to be back on the water and I got to mess around with a new lens.

Good for you!

Great report and pictures!!

I've had many days like that! For steel on the Sky though, years ago! A heavy, wet snow! Thank God for a jet boil! And whisk(e)y and cigars!

It appears the lens works fine

That middle set up with the gold cone head leech looks light like an awesome fly. Olive with a bit of brown or red tail?

That’s my buddy Tim’s version of the “Rusty Trombone”. I think it’s olive and copper in color. It’s also articulated…been a good streamer for us on N. Idaho rivers.

I had hoped to take some bugs pics up tight but my hands got cold so fast that I lost my motivation to flip any rocks

I like the look of that rod holder, if you don’t mind, where did you get that?

Thanks in advance.

The boat isn’t mine but I believe the rod holder was a Flycraft accessory that came with the boat. The camouflage padding is custom…that I know because it was deck padding left over from a project.

 

[Coach Potter]

Macro time?

Yes…I’m really looking forward to bug and flower season

I haven't played with mine much but should.

My wife got me mine for Christmas so I haven’t had much time with it yet.

Cool.
