I like ot have two rods rigged for indicator fishing. Of course that depends on the particular lake and depth. But I rig both rods the same way. Normal indicator rod - Either a 9 or 10ft tapered leader to 3x or a straight 9ft piece of 12# fluoro. Tied to a micro swivel. Then tie two tippets to...

It already exists. Well almost. Tarpon but in a perfect world they'd eat more often.....lol

I should have mentioned that one of my major complaints with my current pole is like you said. its a PITA to get it apart when I have been using it. Stupid.

Did a search and didn't really find anything. Headed to French Polynesia in March and will be wading the outer flats and reed edges a fair bit. Given that my balance isn't the greatest anymore I will be taking a wading staff. I took one last fall when I went to Jurassic and it made a huge...

Can't speak for the OP, but when I see a report and a guy says he's going back but with a different outfitter....well that tells me something.

Just calmly point out to the father that the river is closed. Give him the opportunity to do whats' right. If he blows you off and keeps fishing then call it in and make sure you take pics for evidence. Just don't need another kid being raised to think its ok to just do whatever pleases you...

Just a heads up. The Madison, Firehole, and Gibbon are closed entirely now. Every other stream has hoot owl restrictions now,

Caveat: I don't travel to foreign countries if there isn't fishing involved. That doesn't mean that I haven't done some regular tourist stuff (usually do) but the focus for going there in the first place was to fish. Seychelles - Been twice and loved both trips tremendously. Different fishing...

Do your due diligence. There are other locations that are about the same cost and have better fishing. And as others have said you need to really look at the entire cost picture. Its the flight from HI to Christmas that really ratchets up the cost. I have talked to many guys who have gone there...

Nice sales pitch LOL. If it was the material then I'd be having breakoff issues under all circumstances which isn't happening. I do like Trouthunter stuff though!

Couple of follow on comments based upon some thoughts posted here. 1. I don't think its in any way the hook eye itself. If that was an issue then I'd be losing the upper fly in some cases and for sure when fishing it as a single. And that just isn't happening. 2. I will not tie the dropper to...

Maybe that's part of the issue. For the two fly setup both knots on the upper fly hook eye have been improved clinch.

So a while back I posted a thread about how guys tie on a second fly. Here's a link to that. https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/threads/another-two-fly-question.13230/ I could have just added this to the end of that but its a big enough issue that I wanted to make sure to bet plenty of feedback...

It depends on the lake and especially the time of year you asked me this question. In the spring I'd answer a size 16 black and silver cron with a nickel bead head. The rest of the time a small beadhead olive leech.

Have you ever reffed? Not going for the ball? Both players are moving to the ball. Balo is clearly looking at the ball and attempting to play it. Yes there was contact and in super slow motion and still shots (NOT what VAR is supposed to do) ,make it look much worse than real time. Ok fine. Call...
