    Hoochie Fly Patterns

    I once came back to the marina after a relatively rough day out fishing and a friend looked at me sideways and couldn’t believe that I was out in that slop. I mentioned another charter I saw out there and he said, “but he’s crazy.” Just wanted to lay that out there so you know where my comfort...

    NFR NFL - 2022

    I’ve rooted for the Hawks since 92’ and there have been some terrible years, but this offseason is the least hopeful I can remember ever being before a season begins. Looks like the team is just lining up to be in the running for high draft picks for a long time. They aren’t going to find...

    Hoochie Fly Patterns

    I remember having a well known fly fishing author on the boat with a couple buddies. We were at Swiftsure on one of those incredible krill bloom days when not only is the fishing great but it's almost sensory overload with the humpback whales, birds, and coho all over the surface. The writer...

    Sedan rod travel?

    It's pretty easy to just break down your rods in half and quickly re-rig them. Reel in enough that your fly is attached to top section and use a couple velcro straps and you're set to go. The way I always travelled with rods because I wasn't cool enough to have the magnetic rod rack or rooftop...

    NFR Oscars: Smith vs. Rock

    As we are distracted talking about the latest Sage rods, nymph vs. swing, row vs. wade, or pretty much every discussion on this forum ;) There are healthier distractions than celebrity, but many of life's best things are distractions from the out of control shit sandwich the world can be.

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Just got a fat tire bike and have been loving riding the soft sand on the local beaches, especially since they are allowed on the stretches of beach that vehicles are prohibited. Hopefully I'll get a chance this summer to get the real mountain bike up to the trails of Brevard.

    NOF 2022

    The loudest voices in the room are anglers fishing out of boats. No surprise that seasons are crafted around those who show up. If you could get a hundred plus shore anglers (who agree on what you want) to show up to every meeting you might be able to craft something along the lines of what...

    NFR Oscars: Smith vs. Rock

    Jada isn't some actor's non-celebrity wife. She's an actress and attention seeking celebrity like so many of the nominees in the audience. The joke may have been bad, but if any of you are offended maybe you should watch clips of Ricky Gervais at the Golden Globes or any number of celebrity...

    Hoochie Fly Patterns

    Most of the Strait is offshore for silvers minus a couple spots that I have occasionally found them. Neah Bay is definitely a rip game outside of Swiftsure. The rips vary too. My favorite are the hard currents N of Tatoosh that you fish by drifting down current and casting to the side. It is...

    Hoochie Fly Patterns

    I wouldn’t and I was launching the kayak from the Tongue Point side which is a long row from the Freshwater Bay boat ramp. For chinook along the kelp beds you could row from that ramp but be cautious about strong currents. I don’t know how fast your dory rows, but if you can’t row it at least 4...

    Hoochie Fly Patterns

    I have never questioned your answers regarding what flies troll best as I have zero experience. My "generalizing" is from years of reading your posts on the other forum. Maybe it's from having vastly different fishing experiences in close proximity such as what my "generalizing" post was...

    Hoochie Fly Patterns

    A I have fished buzz bombs off the rocks in that general area but that depends on bunch of yearly kelp growth. All of my fly fishing in that area was done in a kayak which allows access into areas the trollers can't or won't go. I've always found the coho not near the kelp but in the kelp...

    Hoochie Fly Patterns

    We seem to be talking about trolling a bunch. Is twitching a weighted hoochie on a spinning rod (which is what the OP mentioned) a trolling method? I thought he was describing a casting and retrieving method when discussing potential flies. My fly recommendations do not work trolled. I would...
