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...

Was he the master of high quality fiberglass rods? I remember reading about his work in my Trout Fisherman's bible, author Dan Holland spoke highly of his work. c/22

Maybe remnant's of spring of early summer runs in May/June? On some systems open for spring kings. But knowing you you're probably focused on the salt by then

I'm running the Simms Flyweight Wading Boots - Vibram Sole. Mine have the stud kit installed. Picked them up a few years ago at the Spawn fly shop world headquarters down in ilwaco. Maybe 2020? I've only worn them on a handful of outings but the grip is good IMO. Mine have this style of hooks...

I like the bigger fish

Center pin outfit off the rigger's

Agree. The majority of the fresh April Sol Duc fish were smallish hens of 5-7 lbs. Did see what I'd consider a true Spring Buck on June 1st one year, the Duc was low & clear as we dropped into a big long crystal clear pool it was laying right at the head & we spotted each other at the same...

My April's were mostly on the Sol Duc in the Lower runs. We were by-catching down running rebrite hens as we where throwing bait in those days... mid 1990's -2k Spent time on Queets & upper Quinault too

In my limited experience the fresh incoming April Steelhead were always on the smaller size & usually hens. Same for you?

Bismuth-tin alloy?

What would be the alternatives?

Stoner, I'm going to have hord my stash of flat pearl diamond braid. These toothy Montana bulls & bows are shredding all my stock! SON!

In Stillwater. I'd like to try it this spring/summer. Cast & retrieve or under an indicator what's your go to?

Just the IM6 rod in it's sock left. Sold the reel

For you? $150

They will definitely see that coming

The hybrid. In all honesty it was a Rainshadow RX7 1143 built as a coho spin rod, busted the tip & Kerry B found a 8 weight tip that was a perfect match. Then l had the rods original builder move the guides onto the new section. What a hassle, not the recommended route 😜

Sold that reel, still have the rod in it's sock. If you want a backup let me know, I'll be over your way in June

I don't have that much patience. But funny story. I fished Spring Kings on the OP with a buddy who would use some unorthodox methods. He would find a pool with a decent number of them and cast out a Aerofly on a typical drift fishing set up with a 3 foot leader, let it settle to the bottom then...

Holy cow, what a bird list! I'd paddle my boat across lower Hampton & shove into the slot on upper lake for my fun. Nice fish on those Seep lakes in March for sure
