A lot of these comments resonate with me. My passion for fishing has always waxed and waned, I'll get really into a certain fishery and do it as much as possible, and then my passion for a different activity will pick up and I'll focus on that for a while. I've always had two major passions in...

I remember those! One of the stories once was about a guy in a float tube who got attacked by a beaver while fishing. It bit him on the calf underwater. I think about that story every time I take the tube out.

I wonder if they’d do well in Ross Lake, which is full of those red sided shiners. I don’t know what strain of rainbows are in Ross currently, but they seem to be thriving on the shiners. It was a fun fishery the couple times I got to do it. Plus to @salmog’s point, Ross is further north and...

Outstanding SBS, thanks Mike!

Hell yeah, trevally off the beach! I was able to get a similar sized one (blue fin) a few years back. Those guys put a nice bend in an 8wt! Edit- I think mine was smaller. You got a nice one! Edit 2 - since we’re in the “what’s catching you fish” thread, it was one of the streamers in the...

Wow, tried both, very cool Evan. thanks, andy

Nice work Pat!

Nice, very nymphy and buggy. That little guy should absolutely slay the opening day stockers on a west side lake in late April!

LOL...One of the greatest episodes ever, but not where I got my moniker... :D

Very nice. Probably my second favorite all time pattern, behind the Coal Car. I got my first (on the fly) steelhead on a Signal Light. What are you using for the wing? Is that just dyed black calf tail?

Except it doesn't. That's the strange part. He's got a 2001 F-150, I've got a 2006 Silverado 1500. Both 1/2 Ton trucks. In fact the official GVWR on mine is a tad higher. Weird.

Same breakdown as me except mine was 110 where yours is 140. 2006 Silverado 1/2T. Not sure why it’s $30 different.

I think it's the gross weight fees that are driving up the cost. @Rob Allen said it's for a truck. For fun I just checked online for my 2006 1/2T Silverado, and looks like it's going to be $137 total this year, $120 of that is Gross Weight fees. If Rob's got a heavy 3/4 or 1T, I can see it...

I opted for the paper version this year, in order to wait and see how the digital version works out for folks. I didn’t like the fact that you had to choose one OR the other.

I saw it on Reddit this morning, very cool and would be a fun project for sure.

Those rods are SWEET... I built the 6 and 7 weight switches. Highly recommend!

Interesting.... Head length looks to be identical to the OBS (9.3m = 30') but the weights are even heavier than the OBS. 247 grains for the 6 weight and 278 grains for the 7. (My notes say the OBS is 235 gr for the 6 and 265 gr for the 7).

What would the best flies / methods be if one were to intentionally target perch in the basin lakes? I’m thinking a small jig type minnow imitation under and indicator, twitched back? Or maybe a similar minnow imitation on a clear intermediate (or deeper sink) stripped back. Are these...
