I really like mine.

Great report and pictures. It would be interesting to see the current day genetics of the fish. Probably a Rainbow, Westslope and Coastal mix? The offer still stands if you ever want me to tow your pontoon boat to the far end 😁.

Over 30 years of reports/data on the Pikeminnow Program. https://www.pikeminnow.org/reports/

The top Pikeminnow anglers are some of the best fishermen on the river. They have top of the line electronics and gear. They also put A Lot of time on the water. 15+ hours a day, 7 days a week. You’re not going to catch buckets of them fly fishing. But you can catch them on a fly- On high...

My friend asked earlier in the week if I wanted to hike into Lake X. I told him I’ve fished it for 30 years and there’s very little chance of getting in there until June. He went and scouted out access anyway, and I was wrong. Seems early, but obviously what do I know. With road access to the...

It was a booby fly. It worked well as a topwater fly 😁.

I just made a big upgrade on my boat box-

I got mine here- https://www.madriveroutfitters.com/p-15862-silicone-fish-boat-patch.aspx Sportsmen’s has them also-...

The local Costco (SW Wa) had a good supply of them as of yesterday.

I picked up this for $59 at Costco. I added the fish fly patch. It’s waterproof and appears very rugged (weighs 11#s). It has ample storage for my way too many fly boxes. It has removable storage trays and Velcro storage bags. It might not be Yeti Load Out GoBox quality, but...

I’ve never used it and have nothing against people that do. Personally I have no interest in it. It takes away some of the mystery of fishing for me. But then again, I probably only believe the above because I currently don’t have the cash to get one… edit that, prices have really come down…...

I’ve went away from tying the traditional pin and bead balanced leech. Now I just use offset beads. They don’t give it a 100% horizontal position. I think it’s close enough and a lot easier/faster to tie.

@ifsteve I can send you a few of my balanced, unbalanced and jig leeches to test out under a bobber.

I voted for number 1, but I fish exclusively balanced under a bobber. I think I’ve probably bought into the balanced hype a bit too much😁. From my experience leeches under a bobber work the best when they are moving. In the end I really don’t think it matters if they are balanced or not, when...

FYI, because I just recently heard about this- I went to the Outdoor Expo in Vancouver today. It wasn’t bad as far as sportsmen’s shows go. The reason I bring it up here is because they had at least 5 fly fishing related outfitters/guides as exhibitors. Which is 5 more than the big shows in...

I never I never photoshop my photos. I’m kind of offended. Here’s that huge Brook Trout you caught from that lake.
