Fred - Good luck up there!

Andy - I hang it under and indicator and usually it's a dropper below something else.

Unless you're willing to skid a pram or other boat down a steep bank, you better have 4-wheel drive. Perfect weather, cool and overcast with barely a breeze The only BMW I drive First fish of the day (there weren't many (for me) She still has a lot of spawn in here, I was tempted to...

Ah, Dave! Like some members on this thread, I have a number of, shall I say, limited use fly reels. Those might be the reel I pair up with my too seldom used Phillipson Pacemaker or the little Okuma with a 2 a WF2F on it that I use for Blue Line cricks....then there's this beauty that collects...

Tides? I jokingly describe one reservoirs elevation changes as tides as in "oh, the tides high" or "man, we got a minus tide today*". * One of my capr haunts is fascinating to wet wade around when the there's a "minus tide" - it opens up so much more water while completely drying up my usual...

I admire your fortitude in fishing in such conditions; perseverance extraordinaire! It's just been crappy "capr" weather here in the Basin with clouds and even some rain - the rain always brings a following wind and it's the wind that really kills it for me. I wonder if I should bobber fish...

I was really surprised at the length of carry-on rods when I flew Alaska Air four years ago on my way to Icy Bay Lodge. (Or was that five years go?) I suppose Alaska Air at that time of year pretty much sees everything with all of us "sporties" heading up there.

I was sorta hoping that Hobby Builder Extraordinaire Dan @Wetswinger might have an weight glass build going.... ;-)

I was thinking about a birthday present to myself (77 next week)...... That dang Randy @clarkman and his dissin' graphite and all.........I thought it would be fun to fish a good glass rod (with a thickened grip, cork or not cork) for caprs.

Dan @Wetswinger - since you brought this subject up, what rods are on your bench or waiting to be built? Any "capr" fiberglass 8 weights in the mix?

https://www.nrs.com/nrs-otto-matik-inflatable-pfd/p1m2 Lots of options for inflatable PFD's. I used the same one for a decade, in lots of strong rains, it never went off inadvertently.

Port Townsend, huh! Years ago, my wife and I enjoyed several Concerts In The Barn down your way.

No, can't say as I do............ (if I can remember, I'll give it a try the next time I'm carpin').

Thread drift @Wetswinger, sorry: Interesting: "a thicker full wells is much better for me. It keeps the cramps and tendonitis at bay." I don't know what's going on with me but for the past three or four years, especially when I've caught strong fish (or on those RARE outings - a lot of strong...

finger divots worn from @Stonedfish's fairly frequent use........

Awesome photographs to go with your great report, thanks for sharing!

This thing just screams EAT ME. But the hackle ain't pheasant rump....
