A couple of states ago, a neighbor somehow got it and gave it to his baby. It was pretty awful, but she pulled through. Since it falls under the tetanus booster label, adults don't always think about keeping up with it.

Fish the way that brings you joy, but if tenkara rods were superior for euro nymphing, you'd see the hardcore euro guys using them, and they don't.

My two cents: Pick up that 3wt carbon xl and use that for a while.

I think the basin being compromised all the way back in the 1800's explains it. Never got a change to gain notoriety.

How good was it? Was it a destination fishery at any point? Were there monster B-run/Thompson class fish, or tens of thousands of one salt fish that crushed dries? There does not seem to be much discussion around it when it comes to "the good ole days", but the Yak and it's tribs sure look...

The "old reports" thread, got me thinking, what was the steelhead fishery on the Yakima like? Is there any literature about it? High desert canyon river, looks similar to other well known ones. Was the fishery over and done with even by the 60's? Back in 2015 I saw a pretty large steelhead...

I meant market as a food fish!

Probably the best way to get rid of shad, pike, walleye, and bass is to make a market for them.

I would get a full 10' T11 tip (can be cheaper!) and a 5/5 T11 MOW tip. Just 10' of T11 might be fine for you all winter.

Have you seen the new Outback? Doesn't have a third row, but it's getting bigger and blockier. Subaru is creeping in that direction, to many folks dismay.

If your family members haven't fished the Deschutes, I'd suggest doing that for the experience alone, and there should be plenty of willing trout in June. I'd call shops in Bend/Redmond/Maupin and tell them you are looking for a guide trip with someone who isn't able to wade. Like mcswny, I...

How much does it matter to you? Do you think a steelhead would really turn down a properly presented 10mm bead because it's the wrong shade of pink?

Nice!

They probably didn't skimp on the epoxy.

I bought that rod and the 9 weight version many years ago from Sierra. I still have the seven weight, I love it. Use it for bass.

They are so much fun. Even throwing a skagit head with a tip feels light and easy.

I ended up going all the way and getting the patagucci's zippered expedition waders. I noticed them on folks who fish a lot and they really like them. I'm sure the new non-pfas line they are coming out with next year will be excellent, but I also am leery of 1st gen tech, so I took the...

My working lineup of skaters, wakers, muddlers, and hairwings goes in a Fishpond Pescador. Low profile and waterproof. Edit: I should add that my surface flies are on the smaller side. No giant hair or foam monstrosities.

Have any steel fly rods survived to the 21st century? I kind of want to try one just to see what they are like.

My first fly rod was a Pflueger fiberglass spinning rod and a piece 'o crap Martin automatic. My first "real" fly rod was a 6/7 weight St. Croix. I lived in the midwest and used it for Smallmouth/Largemouth, Bluegill, and occasional trips up to Michigan for trout. It was a broomstick, but it...
