The current Aqualux II lines are surprisingly similar to the OBS lines. Head length is the same at 30', but the OBS is heavier for a given line weight and the shape of the head is sorta reversed. See attached JPG I found an 8wt Aqualux II on sale at STP last year and it cast nicely on a 7wt...

LOL, that Sherpa lined Levi’s jacket was a favorite of mine for many years. I actually kept it as an emergency backup under the back seat of my truck until about 2-3 years ago. I was cleaning out the vehicle, saw it and decided to try it on. Sadly, it had mysteriously shrunk due to the...

Likely summer of 1987, on the back deck of my house growing up. Had just figured out how to catch planted trout consistently and posed for a hero photo:

Nice to hear. What was the rod?

Hope you like it, let us know how it fishes! As a huge Z-axis fan, I have wondered how the Sonic stacks up.

Those look like they’d be a blast to CNR from shore on a 5 or 6 weight!

Sounds like an awesome trip!

Are those euphausids? Or some sort of krill?

I love the 20g but yeah my first thought was to go with light loads in the heavier 12g to make it mild mannered. I got a 20g REM 870 compact a few years back and the first time I took it out I was expecting a nice mild recoil, like I had remembered from shooting a friends gun way way back. But...

Brilliant!

I’m also following this saga closely! If you arrow one in the ag field, and it runs onto tribal land, will you be able / allowed to pursue and retrieve it?

Do you have the original RiverSalts or the RiverSalt II ? I was looking online at them and it looks like the original version has a large pattern of drain holes on each side, that I’m guessing with each step the hydraulic action sucks sand in through those holes. The RiverSalt II boots don’t...

Good on you for giving him that gift. And sorry for your loss.

I’m a big fan of the wedding ring spinners. I used to use them most for trolling lowland lakes for trout when I was young. Nowadays, if I take out a non-flyfishing partner, I set them up with an ultralight spinning rod set up with the wedding ring, but trail a sparkly bodied Carey fly about...

She was pretty awesome.

And another game in which we had an infield player take the mound as a relief pitcher. Next we’ll bring back John Mabry as a pitching coach!

Great report and dandy cutt! I need to get out and hit a beach down here. The overcast weather this weekend makes for great fishing weather, the tides this weekend not so much.

I haven't tried that. I was using @Evan B 's recipe. Do you think honey bees and bumblebees are attracted to the raw fish? I thought only predators from the wasp / hornet family would go after meat. I'm anxious to watch it and see what kind of activity I get. So far nothing, not even...
