My Grandma’s pound cake recipe… made by my mom…

You may wanna consider the Patagonia Forra boots. I’ve been using them since October and estimate that I have 250-300 miles on them. The longest wade/walk trip I’ve worn them for was 11.5 miles in one day and I walked/waded over 16 miles in them in 1.5 days, earlier this week. Like all boots...

80k miles and over 200 trips to the river in 40 months

24” Wild Rainbow on a 4wt (PB) 23” Westslope on a 7wt (PB) Carp on a 6wt 43” Pike on a 9wt Fat Bream on a popper 27” Chinook, on a size 14 nymph and a 3wt… had to chase him 150yds downstream to land him

My wife got me heated wading socks and a new life insurance policy…. I think I’m going to have to check my waders for pinholes… she’s been watching a lot of true-crime documentaries lately 😂

I know you said non- I know you said non-euro rod, but my favorite rod for indicator fishing is by far the T&T 10’9” 4wt Comtact II I’ve had 10’ Scott Radians, Loomis NRX+, Winston Pures, Winston Super10’s… all decent rods, but nothing gets close to the T&T… They have a ton of power in the...

I’ve got an 8.5 EEE size foot and it can be difficult to find a foot fit…. Can’t imagine what you must go through…

Thnks for the tip on Obenauf laces… I’ll check them out… For the Danner foot tractors, the rubber sole w aluminum bars are super stiff and heavy… the upper is pretty thin and very light relative to the sole…I just think a beefier upper would give the boot a more balance and supportive feel… it...

Part 3 of 3: Patagonia Forra: First trip out Fished this morning for a couple hours in the same section of river I fished 10 days ago. Today I wore the Patagonia Forra boots (first trip out) and 10 days ago I wore the Simms Flyweight Access (7mos use). I only waded/walked 3 miles in the new...

PART 2 of 3: Patagonia Forra (first impressions, compared to Simms Flyweight Access boots). While I was prepping for tomorrow's fishing trip, I noticed a number of obvious differences between the 2 pair of boots. I decided to lay them out in a seperate post, and then in a 3rd installment...

Thnks for all the interest/comments. New boots arrived today.. Patagonia Forra boots… I bought these online, so the photo below was my first time seeing these boots in person. At first glance, there are some very obvious differences between these boots and the Simms Flyweight boots. I’m...

Thnks. I searched Simms site, but I didn’t see anything saying where they are made (maybe I overlooked it?)… but according to the label inside the boot, they are from Vietnam

To me, these boots strike a very good balance between ankle support and ankle flexibility. There’s generally a trade off between stability and flexibility… Years ago, I had a pair of Korkers w/ Boa system that were ultra rigid (zero flexibility) but were very stable. I also had a pair of the...

He would not be wrong 😂

I only used in fresh… I can’t imagine how bad they’d be in salt..
