No doubt, an Olive Willy. I have caught the multiple types of trouts, as well as multiple types of bass and panfish by varying the size.

I have this rod, bought the blank and and built it myself. What line do you use with it? I have been using a Rio Gold 5 wt, using it as my indicator rod. I love this rod. Just wondering how it works with a 6 wt line.

Call or email the Outcast people, they are fantastic to work with.

I’m beginning to feel like I have at least some clue what I’m doing. Decided to try Trevor Wilson’s Champlain Sourdough. Premixed yesterday, added the starter this morning. It uses a smaller amount of starter, about 11%, and is supposed to take about 6 hours bulk and another 2-4 hours proof...

You have not seen my knots, there is nothing more elegant or functional about them.

Black fritz-like material and chartreuse booby eyes has worked well for me on the east side, when I feel the need to use a booby.

Note that all the fish stay out of these geometric shapes, so none of this makes any difference anyway.

Is there even a sarcasm emoji? Asking for a boomer friend.....:rolleyes:

That’s like way wrong, with squares I had each angler needing 10,000 sq ft, you got 7854 sq ft per angler. 43k is sq ft per acre so 5 anglers instead of 6 per acre. But, if we all have circles around us, we can’t use all available square footage on the water without overlapping. So please...

Sounds like fun Pat! On my bucket list....

So, if my math is somewhat correct, if you can anchor and cast 50 feet in each direction, then you need 100 feet times 100 feet or 10,000 square feet around you. (I'm not doing circle calculations in my head.) There is 43,560 sq ft in an acre, so it takes an acre of lake size for just 4...

I use this: https://data.wa.gov/dataset/WDFW-Fish-Plants/6fex-3r7d/about_data You may have to mess around to find what you want. I find that the best fighting fish are the ones planted as fingerlings, though I'm sure there is some inherent bias in that. My counting method is one, two, a...

I am no expert at backing up a trailer, but that launch is the all time worse, especially since it is often busy.

I can vouch for the versatility of this canopy. I have a soft trifold cover that needs replacing after 5 years. Rich and I fish together frequently and take turns driving. Our float tubes and backpacks and rest of the gear fits comfortably in his truck. With my truck, (Chevy Colorado) we...

Had the eastern Washington grand slam today, smallmouth/trout/perch/bluegill. Do I get extra points for catching them all on the same fly? I caught fish on multiple flies with multiple methods, but caught all 4 species on a super secret fly, the “drab green William”. I caught fish stripping...

That looks like the Pyramid Lake popcorn beetle from the Soggy Sleeves YouTube site. I tied up some of those and tried them on the weird big fish on Roosevelt and Rufus Woods, but have never had even a hit. Done with a type 6 line.

Are you telling me you tied your chiros on with a clinch knot and tied your lower chiro to the bend of the first chiro, and you still caught a bunch of fish? I bet you even used a swivel. :sneaky:

Didn’t get a pic of the pork butt after the smoke, but here’s the sandwich. Homemade buns, homemade BBQ sauce with homemade coleslaw. For Mother’s Day with kids and grandkids.

I have the opposite problem, bass-setting on the trouts. I was fishing for trout on the Salmon River several years ago with a guide, picking up some nice trout on dries. After a few missed strikes, and a couple of airborne smaller trout, she turned to me and said "By any chance, did you bass...

Fished a hike-in lake last week. Fish were rising, only dry/emerger I had in my box was a caddis imitation. I tied that on with a partridge and orange wet fly dropper and had a great time on the next several casts, and landed my biggest fish of the day on the dropper. So I tied these emergers...
