I’m having indecision on what to start the day with. With too many patterns to chose from and with lack of experience, I can’t decide. I don’t have any confidence in my choices and without instant gratification I’m lost. So what would you start with in Westside, lowland lakes.? How long do you...

Was great to meet all of you at the event and hang out. Thank you and best of all, Dan…

As long as they fit snuggly , without any play, your golden..

I’ve heard some people say it coils a lot. I used a clear Cortland Int. for years and it coiled, but you could easily shake it out as you cast and it laid out nice and straight in the water. I’ve bought two new Cortland lines this year and really like them. Great products..

I’ll be day-tripping Saturday and bringing a fly and spin rod plus a JW Young reel. Is the group camp the place to be?

Received my new floating Indicator line from Cortland plus an intermediate polyleader last evening and got it installed. Cut the leader to six feet, added five feet of tippet to my first fly, a soft hares ear. Tied four more feet on to the bend and finished with a peacock herl soft hackle. Was...

This old school, Western Coachman, has been my best fly this Spring on stillwater. Cast and retrieving with a type 3 line..

If you’re looking for 2nd hand, e-bay has tons of choices. Also, some of the inexpensive Chinese stuff is surprisingly good.

My attempt at a Kamloops Caddis Pupae..

You think the Cortland would not work for Stillwater.? Why.? It’s almost a carbon copy of the SA Andro Stillwater Indicator..

After reading some English blogs, it seems a popular set-up is to use a floating line and add an intermediate polyleader for your midge tip. 5’ and 8’ seem most popular. So I’ll probably get the Cortland Indicator line with the high float, bright tip to help with visual movement and a 5’...

I’m in the market for a new line, to be mainly used for naked line sub-surface techniques. I’m really enjoying fishing this style. Right now I’m leaning towards a Cortland indicator line which features a high float, bright orange, 3’ tip. Using a tapered leader, this should be sensitive and easy...

Whole smoked trout. A batch of stockers I’ve caught lately..

That’s the famous Utah Chub, the most vilified fish in the inter mountain west. Did you try Em creek near Loa.?

I’d just fish it as is and decide if l really even like it enough to bother. The guides will stay put. If you do like it, then you have a great Winter project..

Just another observation.. yesterday was sunny and calm and the fish were spooked. They were planters but being picky and wary of my sinking lines. No action at all. I have been using a floating line with long leaders lately, learning this naked line technique. I must admit, I really enjoy it. I...

As mentioned in another thread, I put the leech on top tying both leader and dropper line in the leech’s hook eye. The tension makes the leech lay horizontal aka. balanced. Then a bead head chromie..

Did you eat it.? I pack a shucking knife, yum..

Not yet. I tried that and it does work. I like skinny leech.

For me, the hardest thing to do when using dubbing and dubbing loops is making it sparse enough. All those leech are too fat and I was trying for skinny ones. Ugg..
