That would be the area right in front of my tools for me. I even have a pee bucket in the pile!

I’ve done well in these areas with chironomids under the indicator, with calibaetis in the area marked dry and in the other area trolling! Good luck!

Why you got to make me all jealous like that!

Hoot Owl for wild fish trapped in low oxygenated rivers with no thermoclines, knock yourself out. Hoot Owl for hatchery stocked trout in lakes with thermoclines that fluctuate oxygen levels based on more than just temperature… nah.

Turns out it was a 12 wt, not an 11. Good luck in your search.

Quite possibly, I’ll check today. If I do, it will be yours for cheap.

Sold 2 Harnesses 2 pairs of 9.5 shoes 1 pair of 10.5 shoes 2 carabiners 2 belay devices 1 chalk bag My wife and I stopped climbing awhile ago. First come first served, no shipping.

Upgraded awhile ago, worked fine. Pick up in the Bothell area. If you pick up at my house, it will also come with some free random flies, hooks and tying material.

Nah, I fish them a bit bigger to keep up my 4mm tungsten bead jig flies perfected by @Billy The two tone is nice, but I’m going to play around with doing the @Shawn Seeger cator thing, but with a pear shaped indicator. Pear shape would pick up those subtle takes even more!

So true, I figure if we ain’t rafting up, we ain’t close enough. I need 30 indicators to stare at, or I ain’t satisfied.

Very few, but still not zero!

Now imagine sitting at work and receiving these pics as a text message. FOMO kicks in hard! Or, it is awesome to live vicariously through your fishing buddies adventures when you can’t be there yourself!

I have an older packable pontoon boat X-Streem. One of the pontoons started to leak, but there is no way to actually pull the bladder out of the denier to fix it. Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

I did this with my original balanced patterns, pre the straight pin idea. I tied another hook eye into my hook so I could tie in my tippet to the middle eye or the front eye. This worked until I hooked a fish while fishing a pattern balanced, and pulled up only the eye of a hook. After that I...

Step 1: Drop Rod with the hooked fish to set the hook on the indicator fish. Step 2: Realize that you were not quick enough on the indicator. Step 3: Grab the hooked fish and realize it has slipped away. Step 4: Question your life choices. Works every time for me.

James, may I good heartedly caution you away from using a swivel 😁

James, If you are using a true balanced leech, the best thing to do and as you’ve already recognized, the most logical thing to do is to fish it as the bottom fly. @troutpocket did a great job showing how you can take just about any normal pattern and essentially “balance” it by tying your...

Did you see the part about 37 years ago? 😁. I wish I could remember, but I have no clue now. Somewhere somewhat close to Baltimore?

About 37 years ago, I fished a lake in Maryland with my brother in laws brother. The reservoir that he liked to fish was no gas motors but that didn’t stop the bass guys from running big boats with big electric motors run on a bank of batteries in the back. That boat hauled ass, and to this...

I don’t know about that, maybe a stated unprovable record, but I’d love someone to crush it.
