MA10.

We chased chums this morning on @jasmillo boat, decent amount of them that offered plenty of opportunities. Besides the aggressive individuals in the pods their bitey windows were kind of brief. Landed a few.

Dirt bag spinner fly for chums, hoping the spinning blade will entice strikes. It’s a 25mm shank reshaped and SC15 #1 for a stinger.

Yeah I heard, but I factored in a 50% reduction b/c you're just too cautious a lot of times :) What do ya know you were right this time!

My poor Nausicaa had bit of a misadventure today at low tide. While running to another spot we came across a shallow gravel rocky bar that was about a foot deep. I thought the engine blew a piston rod or something from that cranking grinding sound, it was the skeg that took most of the brunt...

Here it is 🤣

Little shrimp.

Couple of small silver clousers @Stonedfish style.

I got a lightly used Hobie Compass and began outfitting it. Installed a garmin stryker 4 fish finder, jerry rigged the transducer to its Lowrance mount and routed the wirings and battery to the inside. Bought on Etsy a 3d printed mount for the fish finder and installed map pockets on the sides...

Some src flies.

Here’s my lineup from light to heavy. The fast Air 2 Max is where the line between src and coho is blurred, it’s used for both. Scott Radian 9’ 5wt Hardy NSX SR 9’ 5wt. This 6 piece was for traveling purposes but it’s a lot of fun to cast and fish with I use it regularly in the Sound and lakes...

Took my boat out today with @jasmillo to check out our usual haunts to see if our old cutty friends were around, and gauge the chum situation. Bunch of cutts to hand but they were mostly small, feisty as always :) We saw one salmon jumped, most likely a coho, no chums yet at this spot.

I’ve been slacking off, sat down for a session and cranked these out for the weekend. Chums, coho.

Who would have thought that thing sank quickly as it did being so oily? I grabbed on to something to prevent going overboard myself when the boat did a fast 180 for it. You need to diversify with several hats like me. A blank no brand blue trucker for the summer, simms goretex for rainy days...

Done. I’ve never met him but heard plenty of good things about him. Wish you a speedy recovery Jerry!

Slow this morning, got a couple of unclipped and one was a nice one, personal best on a fly rod I believe. @jasmillo had a hot fish broke off the hook tip to gain its freedom.

Thread 'Yakima Double Haul rod carrier/vault' https://pnwflyfishing.com/forum/index.php?threads/yakima-double-haul-rod-carrier-vault.11786/ I just posted this for sale if anyone is interested.

Selling my Yakima Double Haul rod vault, I love this thing but have to let it go because my new roof rack (to carry kayak) will put it above the 6’8” limit to enter public garages. In great condition, I only used half of the two sections, other section is wrapped in original plastic since day...

Some coho flies for the weekend.
