    BC lakes fly recommendations?

    Last summer I had good luck the last few days with an olive Gomphus on a type V letting it sink to the bottom and slowly working it just off the deck. The dear hair floats it up and the strip makes it dive appearing to get away. At least that's what I was thinking it looked like.

    Stop… Collaborate… and Listen

    Here are some shots of the morning. Ryegrass at sunrise :cool: Then came the freezing fog, frozen boat launches and "lets take a hike"... ? What what. I have to admit that I was a little Eeyore about that idea. I have to thank Ira for his positivity as I wasn't feeling it. We found open water...

    Electric Socks for fishing....

    Have always wondered if any of the heated sock brands are getting the job done. Waiting for a PNW approved pair. I'm with @SARG950 5mil oversized boot foot (circulation)Hodgman's and a pair of wool socks will keep you warm in the worst conditions. all day in the river or on the lake no...

    Float Tube Safety

    30 years ago I flipped a doughnut tub at the shore while trying to get out to pee. Ended up cold and warm at the same time while turtling at the beach ;) Never really felt unsafe out in the lake though. 2nd heavy wind (25+) and cramps can be a real issue trying to get somewhere. I would also...

    Favorite fish of 2022

    Didn't get to fish as much as I wanted to in 2022, but then who does? Memorable fish/moments from this year that will stick with me. Another early spring in Central OR with my father. Columbia Springer. Yummy for my tummy! good fishing on a spring day with Rod. Bang bang, a mess of...

    Washingtonians- Do you like where you live? Either way, why?

    Washingtonians- Do you like where you live? Either way, why?

    Currently living 5 min north of Woodinville in unincorporated Snohomish County (Tax break :). Love the area! 5-45 min to my favorite spots on the local S rivers, Puget Sound, Mountain Passes, Big City life and rural communities. With nearly every northwestern blue ribbon fly water being a days...

    Where did it start?

    In my youth I used to ride my bike down to the the docks around lake Washington and dabble a worm on an eagle claw for perch and bass. In the late 70's, every year my dad and his brothers would round up us kids and head to Montana to fly fish the various rivers. Spent a lot of time walking the...

    Devin Olsen's 2022 World Fly Fishing Championship Write up

    Really spot on questions, Phil. The competition sections were closed though out the practice stage, so no issue there. I agree that the success was driven by the luck of the draw as the same sections appeared to fish better day after day. Some guys get the 100yd par 3 and some guys get the par...
