Thanks guys! I've decided I'm gonna get that spooled up for my 5wt, if I really dig it I might even go for it on my heavier 9wt for Chinook and coho. Appreciate the feedback!

Solid info, I'm looking at the 5wt for my Swiss army rod, mostly trout angling. It caught my eye because it seemed to have the advantage of the sinking tips and that could come in handy in sub surface situations.

Airflo has a versatip equivalent? That's awesome, I like their products

Looking at getting my reel some new line and came across this. Seems appealing from a versatility standpoint (comes with multiple heads that can be swapped out for varying water conditions) Wondering if anyone on here has any experience with it. Thanks!

Well if you're headed anywhere near pdx let me know. I mapped the drive Snohomish and not exactly ideal. Keep me posted, I'm down to pay shipping cost if that's what it takes.

Any possibility of shipping?

I've just returned and can confidently say that this was in fact the case. River running higher than some locals had ever seen and was the color of tea. Not productive fishing, but I did hike a bit, wade a bit, crossed paths with what I assume was a very startled whitetail deer, and had some...

There is no substitute for time spent on/in water. I've had people explain double hauls, and roll casts plenty of times, but couldn't get the hang of it until I found myself trying to get my line to a tricky patch of water. Things don't always make sense until the context is there.

I'm going to be up on the upper clear fork cowlitz river later this week, seems like it could be very hit or miss in terms of fishing. Planning on taking my 9' 5wt rod, with pretty standard WF5 line. Got an assortment of leaders to play with and try different areas of the water column. Nearby...

Now THIS is my kind of prediction

This is exactly what's kept me sane when it happens. Look up see the clouds letting some rays of sun down through the trees, and seeing the shine on the top of the water (might be time for some better sunglasses) True majesty of the natural world.

I feel like I've been low holed more times in the past 2 weeks than I ever have in my life. On my way out a plunker had the gall to ask me if I "scared all the fish away." No shame on plunking, but if you're going to low hole me and then drop a nuke of a lure into a pool, maybe don't accuse...

I was out there on Sunday and there was only a handful of anglers (lower deschutes) in a pretty well known stretch of water. Everyone seemed happy enough to share tidbits of earned knowledge on the bank.
