Orange hairwing on a 3/0 AJ

Pink and purple on a sz 3/0 AJ. Hopefully it's bright enough for a steelhead to see it 👀

Sweet fly. What hook is that?

Last time I bought size 3...came in packs of 10 or 25 (bulk options were also available, but they were just 10 or 25 packs combined together). I imagine pricing would go up if another run ever came to fruition. Standard Alec Jackson 3/0s are $15 for a 10 pack before tax at fly shops around...

If it is a custom, specialty, 1 off-hook that a massive manufacturer used to make, but now doesn't, then maybe/probably/definitely yes.

Correct on gamakatsu. McNeese owns the patent of course, but to do another run the costs gammi demands are insane. As in maybe 100x more than the cost I was initially thinking. Sucks, but that's the reality. Retooling for gammi to do another run is a huge deal given how many hooks they sell...

This 110%. Actually, no. 120% in today's day and age.

3/0 AJ

How much does this weigh? Both rubber and frame if you have the info

It's really not that bad out there, at least if you avoid terminal areas I guess. Nobody makes a thread about the 1,000s of times they fish a run without issue.

I was scared to fish right behind him; I didn't want to be exposed to his low holing germs.

It was beautiful. Karma is 100% real with the river gods. Agreed!

Let's be honest: there's not many better feelings in steelheading than sticking a fish behind a low holer. Last week we anchored at the top of the run. Buddy got out to start fishing from the riffle to work his way all the way down the bar. Fifteen min later a dude walks out from the woods...

I've fished the wintertide a lot and enjoy it, but I wouldn't really call it a "longer skagit" in terms of how it fishes. It's 34ft at 600 grains, I think the closest nextcast comp is a winter authority 55 (36ft at 580grn and they fish similarly). Handles tips and stuff fine but it wouldn't be...

I don't swing and tell 👀👀

I am far more jealous of that hair on Georgios Kyriacos than I am a dead CnRd fish by Kyriacos.

Tell that to the guy at the top of the pool with a tenkara rod

Call out a hookup? Only a few of us are so talented to Babe Ruth some chromers. Naturally, I've done it in Nick's boat, but have yet to see it repeated. Re: side scan, Nick it would probably be super nice when having to circle back to recover ejected fly rods that flew 800ft out of the boat...
