This post wasn't meant to start a bash-fest on wildlife enforcement, just on unusual interactions. I have one on the opposite side of the equation. Was fishing a long bar during salmon season with about 10 other fisherman can't remember the watershed. Anyway the game warden starts checking the...

If that's truly the case I'd have appreciated him telling me so, and he didn't. I was just a clueless kid who's buddy had shown a stretch of water with some salmon in it. He said they make a good practice fish, just release them

You've ever interacted with? I have one from about 1987, was parked above the Raging River fishing the mainstem Snoqualmie River. It was November and was banking it C&R drift fishing for some Chum salmon. Guess a early winter Steelhead was a possibility but not likely. As I was walking back to...

Or fish it around a ferry dock, the thing would look like a free drifting pile worm & you know those don't survive long.

Huh What hook you using?

Got a few ready so far, man I'm all thumbs even forgot how to whip finish for cripes sake..

Double trebles, articulated nightcrawler

Going to tie a few dozen of these up today, haven't touched the Regal in a few years. Might as well start with a simple pattern. Any tips from guys more current on the vice? c/22

I have an older SA Streamer express line with a 250 grain head I'd bet would shoot off that 10' 5 wt. Only problem is in SRC cold water you really need to stretch this line out before hand or tangle city

A 4 pc Russ Peak spinning rod around 7' for summer backpacking trips would be sublime.

Otisdog, what a great memory! Thanks so much for sharing it with us. c/22

Good to know

Looked to me like the show was shot on a early spring day? Think the fishing is always tough then. My thoughts are in a prime time setting Mid May - mid June and warmer water temps I'd cater to their aggressive nature & strip small baitfish patterns to stimulate strikes

Just checking Google maps, that lake is 7.4 hours from my place. Well with range for a 4 day May trip. And can keep 1 of those fish per day, the bigger fattest ones might be interesting on the smoker. Guess I better look into a Canadian trout license.

A few times and always when fishing solo I've seen strange marks on remote sandbars. I'd say widely spaced duck footed tracks with a deep groove between them. Almost like the ManBearPig was just ahead of me, corking me on all the good holes & dragging his huge nuttsack.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Nice little wand

This trout is currently stocked in over 40 BC lakes in the Caribou region. Looks like a winner at least up North, with many outstanding traits we look for in a Stillwater setting. Think they will find there way down South? Enjoy

interesting stuff. Could l convince you to post a few pictures of their work? All I remember from my childhood book was a single picture of a 4 piece Russ Peak rod next to its aluminum tube with label.

The book in question was published in 1962, most gentlemen fly fishers were possibly still using bamboo? The way I see it fiberglass was the new wonder material, and Russ Peak was building them This timeline with graphite still off on the horizon, possibly Boron was making inroads in the mid...
