Yeah I'm guessing when we fished in June you were probably laughing at me and my plastic rods saying "NEXT". Probably will eat these words but I thought bamboo was too difficult to cast and out of date. I seriously did not want anything to do with bamboo. Shoot now I have 3 Hardy reels and a...

Ran out to the truck last night and found the reels sitting right in the middle of the back seat. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. Almost enough to give a guy Afib. Winding a floating line on the Hardy Feather weight later this afternoon. Thinking I just might need to check out "K" lake tonight...

Looks like an excellent and serious operation. I use a pretty simple self built jig and maintain thread control with a bobbin. It works but when your looking at a dozen + projects makes me think time to invest in some real tools.

Looks pretty dang good. Much better than GE.

LOL, I was responding on the fly rod. Reels are nice but actually searching for Hardy LRH to support bamboo rods that I am rebuilding.

Funny, I just started wrapping snake guides on a similar vintage bamboo rod that I am rebuilding. I will take you up on it if no one else asks for it. They are sure fun to fish.

What is happening to aquatic plants in our Western Wa. lakes this year? It seems like aquatic vegetation such as Bullrushes, Rushes and Cattails in every lake that I have fished are significantly depleted or completely missing. Any biologists in our community that can shed some insight on what...

Tie your fly on? Not a chance, but I will pour you three fingers of CR.

Looking for some Fall/Winter reading. These books are brand new and free to whom ever picks them up. I live in Auburn, Wa. ,

I have an old pair of Red Ball stocking foot waders, 1 Columbia (Large) canvas vest, and 1 Orvis (XXL) canvas vest. Free to pickup in Auburn, Wa. Not the best looking but still functional.

Quality fish determined to eat their prey. Pretty insane watching those fish come out of the water to attack the fly from the top. Sorry for the crappy pic.

Thx Steve for taking one for the team and not turning back for those missing waders. Sorry, I still have to laugh about that first wave coming over your bow. Think that vocal range is called soprano? Crap, you still out fished me 2x but I finally c&r my first brown trout.

Thank you Aaron for that thoughtful and insightful response. Peace.

Think Bambooflyguy's point was using an intermediate line is less effective than a full sink line. I certainly have given up on the intermediate lines for full sink lines. I personally use floating lines to target fish down to 15ft(ish) instead of using intermediate lines and then switch to type...

Remember how Luke revered Obi-Wan. Just saying, Bambooflyguy ain't Luke. If he fishes with type III line it's because he catches one hell of a lot of fish with it.

I finished this book in June. Great read. Extremely thought provoking on so many levels. This book is a great read for any fly tyer.

I can't believe I caught a bass on Bambooflyguys seal pattern using a bamboo rod. What twisted world have I landed in?

Loved your post Tom. I purchased a Paw Patrol rod for my 3 year old granddaughter. and hoping to take her out in a couple weeks. I'm going to wait until next year to introduce her to fly fishing. Thx for sharing your excellent post.

Excellent report dp. Love to hear Quincy is fishing is well. Question, did you have time to setup and fish Chironomids? Indicator fishing on Quincy can be excellent this time of year.

Kevin has agreed to assist his dad. go figure... Plz feel free to call or txt him and work out the delivery details. Thank you, Tom
