Orvis Hydros III fly reel . NIB in silver. Ideal for 5-6 wt lines. I set it up in left hand retrieve but is easily changed. Never been lined or on a rod. $225 shipped lower 48

I fished a couple of these out of the mud this year. I use korkers but these don’t fit anything I wear . Both omnitrac, right foot felt 13-13.5, left foot with cleats mens 8.5-9. Shame to toss them if someone wants a spare for the cost of postage.

When I first saw that hat I thought you might have mugged John Gierach. If you did, it could be worth twice your price,

Good on you spending time with your dad. Don't stop, they are gone before you realize it.

Jake , heres what I have been using on coho for the last 20 years. Probably 50-60 / year. Shrade Uncle Henry USA # 167. The older ones were US made if you can find them. I bought a new back up and the blade wasn’t the same, too soft. The USA made are about 3 times the price of the newer model.

Buzzy, Your Alaska report last year was fantastic, not going back? I also have the same rod as a backup. Excellent opportunity for someone.

Thank You ! Enjoyed that, brought back memories. That can be a difficult hatch to find the sweet spot, but when you do... hogs to the trough.

Great write up ! Thanks for the tying pics. Looked like that pig bow stressed your hook a bit. Most enjoyable.

There is something magical about kids and bobbers. Watching the bobber disappear below the surface. At 71, I’ve gone full circle with indicator fishing.

Looks like you brought a couple of recruits into the fold. Hooked for life! Your fishing gear just became generational.

I’ll take lot 4 and 5. Let me know how you want to be paid, Thanks, Monte

Mark, are these still available? I think that was the bearings I needed on my Hyde trailer. Thx, Monte

Thanks for the report ! Didn't make it to AK this fall due to covid so appreciate you taking me there. Hope to get back next fall. Have fished several different places for silvers but not Yakutat. Great looking water with lots of variety. Hard to beat silvers close to the salt.

Thank you for the great report! Brought back a ton of memories, I fished the lower Goodnews for a day in Sept 1983. Bristol Bay Lodge had a spike camp on the lower river. Ron McMillan flew our party of 4 there in his Beaver for the day. On his first approach to land on the river he had a bird...

Got the flies Randy! Thanks so much. Beautiful ties, can’t wait to try them out. Good on you! Monte

Clarksman, anything still available? No bull trout in Colorado but do have some hefty lake dwellers that would be fun to pass one of these in front of. Beautiful flies, would be fun to try and duplicate some of your work. Thanks, Monte Miller

Enjoyed that! Used to fish for them when I was a kid and actually caught a few on the fly rod. Congratulations on taking a road less traveled. Think I should explore that again myself.

Half the country away from you but always enjoy your insight and reports. Keep it up!

That smoked trout looks fantastic! Putting that area on the list.Thanks for sharing.

Nice report. I was in that area in 1980, my first trip to Alaska. I was at a lodge and fished multiple drainages. Interesting that your results fish wise were almost identical to mine back then. Nice to know that things haven’t changed much in that area. Hope we can keep it that way for future...
