Unfortunately yes, and does not include lodging, food or guiding, though Darc will suggest flies and maybe point to a place on the lake. The lakes are really prolific food source. Chironomids, callibaetis, scud, leeches, and boatman are the staples. Sure there are damsels and dragons too. Fish...

FYI, BTTW is $350 this year.... Ron

flybill, I'm with ya on the single malt and cigar. Keeps ya occupied between indicator disappearances. Check out my fly fishing craft ash tray: USN surplus USS Trout SS 566

Hey Jake, lots of options with your fly club, Overlake Fly Fishing. I'm doing the stillwater class again in March, though at three two hour secessions, I'm gonna guess you would be up the walls and out the heating vent. We do have lots of outings also, look for one to lakes like Lone, Pass...

We just got Samsung S95D to replace 15 year old Samsung, BTW which still works great and is moving to the basement. Went with this larger one because (bigger is better?) it is in a bright room and the really is non reflective. Much better for daytime viewing. Sometimes smart gets in the way as...

One reason I fish from a pram; no leaky waders.....

I lived in the Bay area in the 1970's and really enjoyed those strippers! Oh, sorry typo..... or maybe not?

This has become a favorite technique of mine. I use a type 7, or type 5. Short poly sinking leader to swivel, and floro tippet to flies below. Single marks at 5', multi marks at 10' increments. In a deeper Western Washington lake this can add June and July as good months. I've anchored up in 58'...

I have the same bag! Really useful! Remember taking many boxes of flies on first trip to Rock Creek. But did stop in Missoula at the fly shop, and bought three flies at their suggestion. Used those to tie, and all worked very well. A pump revealed some variation so more ties. Never touched...

I too was picking Chojuro and Shinseki

Working in yard. On a wall, then off the wall Humpty Dumpty style. Three foot fall but instinctively protecting total reverse shoulder replaced in July. Fourth surgery in 14 months..... Not my year....

My weekend..... and the next three months, plus an additional three... At least there is the football season... Ron

Got a magic even year pink up in Sitka in June. By magic turned it into a halibut!

Oh no candles, fire danger! Cakes do look weird with LED's..... Happy day(s) !

Another backpacking trick learned: a packet of Lipton onion soup. Make the soup, cut up trout on the rib line bias into chunks, and poach. I would usually scale fish first.

Brook trout for sure, high mountain lakes. Boy scout days we would take canned bacon. I always volunteered for pot cleaning detail as it kept me free during daylight to fish. Southern gentleman introduced us to his seasoned cornmeal, and fried in the saved bacon fat tasted rather good. That...

Dominant food source is daphnia. Have noticed better chironomid hatches recently. Usually fish anchored up vertical in 50' and find where they are hanging out. Can get good numbers of fish, a few suckers also. Water stays colder so good bet into July when other lakes are really too warm for...

Hmmm... Well, I like to try to get into the food cycle of the fish. You know, figure out what they are eating, and imitate that. So I usually look for a "hatch", of midges, damsels, callibaetis even dragonflies or baitfish etc. Problem is every time I have gotten into a good boobie hatch, I...

Two rods, two indicators, two fish....... now we are having fun!
