As a kid it was a 6” slow pull of line usually frequently/consistently but depended on in a boat or loch side. Also long bigger, slow pulls, like all fishing you change it up and around till you figure out what works 😀 Dave

Some will be tied, I like root beers and fish them a lot, I’ll just need to bump the size up a bit and have a few 12 though as Firestick’s, more a 10. It’s a nice problem to have. Just looking forward to some R&R with my friends. Camp will be as much fun as the fishing. Some good dinners are...

Great post, As a kid the black Pennel was the first fly on my cast. We used black floss vs seals fur but 110% ageee with Dave, the more ragged the better. It’s funny we used to think of flies like the black butcher and Peter Ross as fry imitations with lots of silver and red throats but now...

We all have lots of them of sorts, just in the 14 or 16 to 18 sizes. The WA lakes I fish don’t have lots of huge or big mids like BC. That said the shucks and bombers from several lakes I’ve recently fished I WA had big ass mids, easily 12 and likely 10s. I need to think big, especially with one...

We’re off there next week and so any intel other than Nutella’s (thank you btw) is appreciated here or via pm. Thank you Dave

Grilled bavette steak an fixings. Not as good as skirt but darned close. Dave

Too cold for damsels, didn’t see any adults and no hitchhiker nymphs so on my boat. Someone did ok with one under an indicator though I’d sag a week or so out for dries. They like heat, it was f’ing cold. Dave

Did you buy it new and was it ever run in the salt? Dave

Last week

Alpha gal is really nasty and somewhat ironic given it is or was most prevalent in TX, a beefier state. It has unfortunately done a number on a few folks as docs are still unfamiliar with it. Tick borne diseases are true bastards but still lag by the skeeter ones. As thing get more toasty...

Given the news that a popular NE side lake was closed for camping this year I’d decided to hit BC for my spring trip instead, then their mind was changed…My retired buddies were off there for a week but I was thinking nah, not worth it as I’d booked my leave from work. Intel was it was cold but...

It is, about 20 odd yrs ago it started getting out of control so they killed it all off and added a load of grass carp so other than some lily pads the lake was devoid of plant life other than single celled algae that turned the lake pea green June - sept. It has only just started to recover...

Use Shan products, in most Asian stores. Prepackaged spice mixes for a wide variety of curries. They add all the spices and goodies in a hermetically sealed bag. I used to make curries from scratch and a pita having 20 odd different things lying around and they lose their lustre with time so...

A wee weekend bump in case anyone else can give some extra intel. Pms are fine and indeed any info given will get a more detailed pm report back. Dave

Done!

I love that you fish old school wet flies. Being Scottish I fished them a lot as a kid, but oddly don’t do now, I should. Should get back to my roots. Dave

The best short smoke other than a Partagas short but they are now stoopid expensive.

Knew you’d love it 😀

Pastis and a Love Story which Flybill will appreciate. Dave

Having a lamb jam as kids are home for Mother’s Day 😀. Having a love story and a pastis before it gets real. Dave
