Skyriver in action: Well done!

Very cool, love the grip, no gripes from me.

Three of us were fishing the lake one afternoon; DK had a Livingston that we'd ride in and use it as our stage to get into (and out of) our donut float tubes. Of course the wind came up. The trolling motor battery died just as we got into the channel; no oars, just a paddle. I jumped out and...

Fred - Good luck up there!

Andy - I hang it under and indicator and usually it's a dropper below something else.

Unless you're willing to skid a pram or other boat down a steep bank, you better have 4-wheel drive. Perfect weather, cool and overcast with barely a breeze The only BMW I drive First fish of the day (there weren't many (for me) She still has a lot of spawn in here, I was tempted to...

Ah, Dave! Like some members on this thread, I have a number of, shall I say, limited use fly reels. Those might be the reel I pair up with my too seldom used Phillipson Pacemaker or the little Okuma with a 2 a WF2F on it that I use for Blue Line cricks....then there's this beauty that collects...

Tides? I jokingly describe one reservoirs elevation changes as tides as in "oh, the tides high" or "man, we got a minus tide today*". * One of my capr haunts is fascinating to wet wade around when the there's a "minus tide" - it opens up so much more water while completely drying up my usual...

I admire your fortitude in fishing in such conditions; perseverance extraordinaire! It's just been crappy "capr" weather here in the Basin with clouds and even some rain - the rain always brings a following wind and it's the wind that really kills it for me. I wonder if I should bobber fish...

I was really surprised at the length of carry-on rods when I flew Alaska Air four years ago on my way to Icy Bay Lodge. (Or was that five years go?) I suppose Alaska Air at that time of year pretty much sees everything with all of us "sporties" heading up there.

I was sorta hoping that Hobby Builder Extraordinaire Dan @Wetswinger might have an weight glass build going.... ;-)

I was thinking about a birthday present to myself (77 next week)...... That dang Randy @clarkman and his dissin' graphite and all.........I thought it would be fun to fish a good glass rod (with a thickened grip, cork or not cork) for caprs.

Dan @Wetswinger - since you brought this subject up, what rods are on your bench or waiting to be built? Any "capr" fiberglass 8 weights in the mix?

https://www.nrs.com/nrs-otto-matik-inflatable-pfd/p1m2 Lots of options for inflatable PFD's. I used the same one for a decade, in lots of strong rains, it never went off inadvertently.

Port Townsend, huh! Years ago, my wife and I enjoyed several Concerts In The Barn down your way.

No, can't say as I do............ (if I can remember, I'll give it a try the next time I'm carpin').

Thread drift @Wetswinger, sorry: Interesting: "a thicker full wells is much better for me. It keeps the cramps and tendonitis at bay." I don't know what's going on with me but for the past three or four years, especially when I've caught strong fish (or on those RARE outings - a lot of strong...
