I’ve really simplified my leader build. I just don’t build them anymore. I normally just run straight 3x the whole way. This is mostly because I suck at casting indicator rigs and makes it simple to re-rig when I get tangled (which is often😁). Google Phil Rowley’s level leader concept, if you...

Great report. And now because of your report, I have a new fly idea. The CLSL (The Cabezon Left Shin Leech)😂-

I accomplished the slam after work this evening😂. Under the eyes of the local volcanoes. White Crappie- Black Crappie- Bluegill- LMB- And the fish of the day. Perch- You SW WA people should take advantage of this fishery. It’s really good right now. I’d rate it a Silver status😁.

It is. We should plan a trip there some time. I’ll leave the dog at home.

Yes. All my dogs have been good partners in the boat. I think the key is starting them young. They all get the float/dunk test before the life jacket comes off for good (in lakes).

I’ve found FAB’s to be ridiculously effective on a type 6 full sink. My Cheat Code FAB-

That Perch is the fish of the trip. Tank!

I think that was a 21’ Trophy with twin 115 mercs. Legendary (dumb).

This was from DNR- "The culvert has to be manufactured and concrete footing designed and built. This is all moving forward, but at this point a definitive start isn’t totally clear. There could be some materials hauled on site in June to prep for construction, specifically rock. The schedule...

You should add a number 4 option- -4. I start with 2 flies, they get tangled multiple times, I finally get frustrated enough and just go back to using 1 fly. 😂

It’s always good to hear there are still hidden gems out there. There’s a lake in my area that’s well off the beaten path. It is supposed to have large trout. I’m on the fence on whether to put the effort into checking it out. I kind of like the idea there are hidden gems with large fish out...

Sorry to hear this. His painting (Deluge) of one my favorite lakes is the first thing you see when you enter my house.
