Lucky to find myself going to Kauai for my 50th birthday in December. One week just north of Lihue and one week with friends in Hanalei Bay. Spent time on the island prior to becoming a fly fisherman so I'm excited to make this my first saltwater trip. Planning to fish 5-7 days total.

I've never struggled to land fall chinook up to 25lbs with my 9wt rods. My brother in law uses a 10wt and it was put to the test when he hooked and we netted a brute in the 35-40lb range.
Floating the Deschutes below Mack’s Canyon. Thought I saw a coyote jogging along the tracks. As we got closer it suddenly leaped up a 12-15ft cliff and it became obvious it was much too large and athletic to be a coyote. Got to watch the beautiful grey wolf trot up the grassy hillside for the...
Hey,
I recently acquired an unfished Powell Tiboron 7wt saltwater rod for the quiver (thanks Mark!). Wondering if if anyone has a J. Ryall 7-8wt saltwater reel that's collecting dust on the back shelf. Thinking it would be cool to combine these two quality California companies for my first...
Hey,
Looking to fill a spot in the quiver. Don't want to spend a ton of money since it won't get that much use. Something like a Echo 3 Salt, Prime, Sage FLi, etc. What do you have collecting dust in the back of the closet?
Thanks,
Jason
I'm hoping to make a saltwater trip every year or two. I look at the classified sections on several forums each day and have picked up lots of great used gear over the years. Thanks.
Planning to do a tropical saltwater trip in the next year or so. So I'm slowly building the quiver and need a reel for the 11wt rod. Won't be able to jump right into the Nautilus, Tibor, Hatch price point. I have Lamsons and an Orvis Hydros for the lower weight rods.
Does anyone have...
Yep. Kinda of. The Co2 cartridge actually retracts the piston and the critters drop out. It is then charged/set again for the next deployment.
The counter senses the sudden movement of the piston and has a little readout screen. There are several youtube videos.
We set baits out around the yard...
It has a piston that is charged by the Co2 cartridge. They put their head up the tunnel to get the bait and activate the trigger. We have the optional deployment counter that lets you know how many times it's been triggered. Gets mice, rats, and ground squirrels. We use a custom bait screen with...
We purchased one of these to help control the ground squirrel and rat issue around the barn and compost pile. Does the trick and hasn't gotten the neighbors chickens yet.
Hey,
I recently upgraded my euro nymphing rod from an original series Moonshine Epiphany to a Cortland Competition MKii. The vintage Martin clicker matched well with the Epiphany but is too heavy for the new rod.
Who's using a light clicker on your euro rod? What model? Recommendations...
