Awesome, have never been there either, will do some research on it. Thanks!

Thanks! Not on my radar, will do some research.

Things are brutally stressful in the office so I need to go away from everything and everyone and spend some time camping and fishing by myself. I have never fished the Grande Ronde before, and I have reserved some days in April for a 5 day trip. Looking at the info on the GR it comes through as...

I am happy to use those. I can go to Renton and pick them up within the next two days.

Do you guys know how HH-66 compares with the E-6000? Any experience worth sharing?

Thanks so much for your hint! I sent an email to them, let's see what they say. I also asked about how the original yarn relates to the stuff they are selling on their website... I'll report back. :-)

Quick question, folks: I used to be able to buy Lafontaine's yarn at his website (www.bookmailer.com), but it looks like the site has been deprecated (I don't know since when, last time I bought yarn was a few years ago). Anyone knows if they moved it somewhere else? Any other reliable place to...

Awesome, thanks so much! I can most probably meet Sunday. Will send you a private message to arrange time and location.

Would those work on a fish cat 4? If so, I am interested, and I am local to the greater Seattle area.

Another great suggestion, thanks so much!

Great! I’ll look into that, did not initially consider the OP so thanks so much!

Well, maybe it is not meant to be backpacking in May in this part of the country… 😉

Thanks! Any favorite lake in particular I should look into first? Also, are rattlesnakes out by May in that part of the state?

In mid-May my wife and I will be celebrating our 18th anniversary. We love backpacking and we do it a lot in Summer around the Cascades on the western part of the state, so we would like to use the anniversary excuse to start backpacking earlier this year and drive east hoping for better camping...

@Brian Miller - how does the tenjo line cast with those yarns hanging from it?

Yes, you’re correct- excuse my brain fart: furled, not braided.

No worries, first things first :cool:

I am happy to meet up and show you the things I know. Nowadays there are so many videos in YouTube that you can learn almost anything by watching, but if you rather have someone explaining things to you face to face, we can meet up. I live in Sammamish. You’ll have to deal with my Spanish...

I have never used tenjo-like lines, something new to experiment with. I tend to use thin leveled lines, number 3 or so, but I hate how much they kink when you store them when collapsing the rod, so for exploring new waters where you are constantly moving along the river I like braided lines. I...

I don’t have experience with the TB traveler, but considering Chris’s experience and the brand he is using to base his rods on, I am sure it is a very good rod. I have asked Chris a lot of questions via email all throughout these years and his answers were always spot on. The guy knows his...
