    Type 3 Airflo 40+. Discontinued now in the US unfortunately. Wish I would have stockpiled a few when they were available. I have a type 6 too that I've been tempted to try at the steeper dropoff beaches. I find I can fish the type 3 even in shallower spots for coho. Edit: If you get the stuff...

    I switched to a type 3 (full 36' head) a few years ago and have never gone back to an intermediate for salmon fishing the beach. I'm fully confident in either, but I never noticed any downsides to the type 3 and like how it gets down below the junk a little better. Seems to cut through the wind...

    That set of waves that got @Kfish the second time were massive! At least a couple feet above your head when they broke over your back. I was watching in case we needed to execute a rescue mission. Pretty sure it was @Stonedfish and @DimeBrite there once on the north side when we had to pull a...

    NFR How's the housing market where you live?

    For all the bitching people do about Bozeman these days it's still pretty great if you can afford it or bought in cheap. I'd consider moving back for sure, but it would take some convincing to get my wife back to the cold.

    NFR How's the housing market where you live?

    Sequim is a pretty nice little town. Can't beat the surroundings. Big open area with the ocean on one side and mountains on the other. Little far from any real skiing and non-seasonal mountain biking for me probably. I play this mental game all the time...best place to live if I wasn't tied to a...

    Orvis Ultralight Wading Boots in the salt?

    Have you ever tried any of the tropical salt sneaker designs for up here? Edit: Just looked at the latest salt sneaker from Simms and it's actually listed as heavier than the FreeSalt boot. Looking at the two it's hard to see how that could be though.

    Orvis Ultralight Wading Boots in the salt?

    @Stonedfish were you not interested in the FreeSalt due to weight or what?

    For the record it’s a sunrise, and I had 3 keepers to hand (but did lose more than that). It sounds like I probably initially caught lostfishitis from @copperJon who went on to some success after he transferred it to me. Thankfully my last of the day was brought to hand without issue so it...

    My too-late-to-help report from last Saturday is the fishing was quite slow. I think I saw 3 hit the beach from fly fisherman (myself included) and 1 to a gear guy. I released a nice sized unclipped fish around maybe 4 lbs, lots of shakers, lots of bait, not many salmon. Had a couple other "big...
