i.e. headed for a lower-quality conference

hate to break it to you but coogs are headed to a lower-quality conference edit: ironic

It shouldn't be that daunting. I don't target pinks, chum or chinook much so I can't speak to that, but this is what I bring on a day of coho fishing: -TFO BVK 790 -Cortland 444 Clear Int line -12lb Maxima -A few zonker jiggy flies. -A graboid or two with a heavy bead to strip in case they're...

For a bunch of guys who supposedly don't want to hear about Deion you do talk about him obsessively

I like a clear int line for most coho situations. The veddar is a weird river. A jiggy fly is great for "snappy" fish but once they go lockjaw I want something that suspends well so I can fish an ultra slow presentation. Sparse, flashy and small. Copper is a killer color. Check out some of Andre...

I think its important to think less about what the fish sees and more about the functional qualities of a fly. The goal when putting together a fly box for a trip is to have the bases covered, and I think it helps to look at flies in that context. I would agree with Jake than in most rivers it...

I'd say the coastal bulls are the outliers not the Metolius. The diet and life histories of the bull trout you have experience with are pretty unique.

yes, an 8wt on those rivers sure would be overkill

I bring a 7wt with a Airflo Streamer Max Long or if I bring two rods, a 7wt with a full int line and an 8wt with Airflo Shovelhead.

Really enjoyed reading through this thread, super interesting topic. The UBC forestry department did habitat restoration on some similar urban creeks in Vancouver and had pretty solid results. I didn't see it immediately after the work was done but within a few years, it looks a lot different...

As long as the creek is not too overgrown, euro nymphing can be deadly effective on small water. Even on big water, you are generally limited to fishing within 1.5x the length of the rod away from you, so the rod being 1/3 the width of the river is not a problem. It's great for water that is too...

Limitations to euro nymphing: wind, fishing further than 2x rod length from where you're standing, wind, fishing from a boat, wind

10' 5wt, medium-fast, nothing too fast or slow. Some 10' 5wts are more like 6wts, for those I would go down to a 10' 4wt. I wouldn't do a 3wt if it is going to primarily be an indicator rod but with lighter rigs/yarn indicators I could see it being perfect. What makes a good euro rod and a good...

Almost any fly shop will let you do special orders. Ask to see distro catalogs and look for hooks that are available in bulk packs. Hareline has a great selection of 100 packs, Wapsi even has some bigger quantity options for hooks/beads/cones/etc.
