The mid week good weather trip to avoid the weekend crowds might backfire on ya. About 13 years ago I took some time off for the birth of one of my kids. I took advantage of the time to hit Lone lake midweek during a nicer weather day. I showed up and there were more guys there than I had...

I think this is much ado about nothing. Folks using the ole “rattle snakes and ticks” technique to keep people away from their honey holes.

I was thinking almost the same thing when I saw the pic!

One of those folks, @Tim L never got good at the indicator game, yet still found love on the walls of the stalls. I hear this quite a bit. For me though too much patience is the problem, not the key. I have no patience when I fish, ask anyone who fishes with me, I literally will set a timer...

Consider using thread as your ribbing if you need thin and small. You can use two bobbins. One for the body color and the other for the rib color. Use the body bobbin to tie in the rib one at the back of the hook. Wrap the body color forward, wrap the rib color forward and tie off. Another...

I’m thinking of all sorts of things to do with this. This is a pink year, and pinks love getting jiggy with it! @SpawnFlyFish when do you anticipate the different colors coming in?

Bring a rod!!! Bring shrimp and Clouser patterns. Can you bring a stripping basket? Will you have a car to drive?

You are bumming me out man. 6” whitefish are my jam.

I know, right!

I’ve seen them wear this on their YouTube channel. With my bad eyes, I’d have to climb in the boat with them to read it, that would “back” fire on them.

That’s the great thing about country, you don’t have to know it to sing along 😂

This works so well on multiple levels. It doesn’t make clear what to drink more of, could be ramen broth, or what to care less about, leaky faucet maybe? Either way, hope it is a merry year for all.

Cracked my ribs, so no fishing in December, but I did manage this in November.

Did you sing along? Make requests? Missed opportunities!

I do like the idea of inviting guys to sit in the boat with me. My sumabitch would be if they say no. Just a thought, over friendliness might work better to distance others from you than vinegar. Isn’t the saying “You catch more flies/fish with honey than vinegar”? Guys without ear plugs...

If I’m the only guy out there and I’m catching fish, I’m inviting other people over, not waiting for them to ask for help, as soon as they show up. I’ll also have 7 rods rigged, not 4, what an amateur. Because of this, I will row near people assuming that on Washington’s most popular fly...

I’ve fished mids an inch or two under an indicator in less than a foot of water. I’ve seen some situations where fish are initially spooked by the indicator landing, but within minutes, sometimes seconds they are back. In many other cases, the splash brings them over to investigate. As for...

Fixed it for ya 😂

As I said, I know it works and in some cases even better than the indicator, it is just rare that I do it with mids. Now, do I use this method with an intermediate line and leeches… maybe start trailing a mid more often…
