Not to drift too much here, but what's the pros for waist high? I think I would get mad at myself every time I couldn't wade deep enough.

Man, all those fish look healthy! And so cool seeing a lynx! I'd rather see that than the bear coming up river. 😁 Great trip!

Where's the new safe? 😁

You mentioned that "there was no evidence of any of the tippet from the dropper fly". This makes me think the 3x is not breaking, but rather the knot is slipping out of the eye. Could the knot be slipping out here? Some hooks are notorious for having too big of a gap here.

Yep. I think the ones I have became the Swiftcurrent Expedition. Sturdy is the perfect word. Definitely not summer weight.

Starting in the late 2000s, I got ridiculously good results buying the lightweight Caddis waders from Sportco in Tacoma every few years. They were only like $129 and would give me 3 or 4 years. One pair lasted 6 or 7. And that was with many hours in a float tube and the Commander. Sometime in...

What backing is that? I don't like loose braided backing like that. I think it has too much "squish" factor and leads to mono or other running line digging down into it. I had one last year that was quite the head scratcher. No bueno!

Awesome report. And great pics!

Great trip!

That's awesome. I know about a spot where they eat mulberries, but it's tricky to fish and tough to get to. I didn't even try this year since I didn't tie up any mulberry flies. Haha! It's on my list to try next year!

I'll take lots 6 & 21 if they are still available. I'll need them shipped so let me know how much. Thanks!

Maybe not quite the "advantage" as they say. 😁

Gonna be tough to stay under $25k for something decent with under 50k miles. My vote would be to bump your budget up to $28-30k and look at the Honda CRV & Toyota RAV4 Hybrids. The RAV4 hybrids have proven to be pretty damn solid. We own a 2020 CRV AWD, non-hybrid and it's been solid. My...

Another vote for lower Deschutes steel

The good stuff!

Nice work outta the boat! Is that a new net? It looks like a nice one. btw, I really like P-Line CFX fluoro leader if you're looking for a change.

OPST makes an intermediate shooting head called the Groove. Couple that with a S2 or S4 tip maybe?

Pat, I have this one. Cabela's had them on sale for $16 the random, once per year, day I was in the store. I cut the handle down to make it more manageable when I clip it to my bag. In fact, you can take the nice rubber handle off of it and then put it back on the cut end. It's very light and...

Maybe she swallowed a football? 😁 Nice work!

You know they make these things called nets.... 😁 Glad you got out and fought some fish!
