I have an older Beulah Elixir 6/7 integrated line that I love on my Rainshadow 6wt switch rod. I’ve tried to get more but they no longer offer the Elixir (or Tonic) in an integrated line, only as heads. The Elixir is a scandi line, Tonic is a skagit. I wish there were more integrated lines...

Both of those are spot on, nice work!

Is the Filpronil that you use just the topical Flea and tick drops for dogs, or a different product?

In that same vein, my go to lake trolling set up for non-fly folks is a wedding ring spinner, but instead of tipping the hook with bait, run a small nymph, Carey fly or hair leech about 24” behind the lure. Edit- just checked my spinning rod upstairs to refresh my memory of the set up. Looks...

I love the theme of the story, but yeah, it's a bit "cluttered" with descriptive details. There's a fine line in writing between painting a scene with words and over-doing it.

Some folks bring a frisbee to use as a paddle if you need to move quickly or change directions.

The only thing I would add is one of those lightweight UV Buff neck gaiters. Those are great because you can soak it in the river to get it wet, then pull it on and it will cool your neck and head.

Very Cool! What species is the first fish?

Like Stonefish I gave up all alcohol about 4 years ago and that's been the best for my health. Blood pressure dropped magically back to healthy levels and the sleep is so much better and restorative now. But it sure wasn't easy and I count myself lucky that I was able to do it on my own. Oh...

You can add a few cups of that pink RV water system anti-freeze to the water. It has a bit of an embalming effect on the carcasses. You still gotta check and empty it regularly though. But I think it helps with the stink.

LOL... Love the humpy shirt. Any chance of getting long sleeve Tees in the future? thanks Evan for doing this!

Same here out in Buckley. I usually put up three WHY traps in May to try to catch the queens but all three traps so far are empty. I wonder if the cold snap this winter really hammered the local population. I'm definitely not complaining through. And yes the paper wasps sure are docile, you...

I think your plan for the splice is good. My only worry would be getting the splice pipe to have a snug fit into your existing pipes. From your photo it looks like the OD is 2.75 + 1/16" or 1/32", with ~1/8" wall thickness. Do you have calipers and can get a solid accurate measurement of the...

Thanks Ive. I really enjoy your gear reviews. Do you have a link for the evaporative cooler you're using?

What the heck is this? The main stem river is closed to summer runs but they’re opening up that short stretch of Tokul for a June July summer run fishery? I don’t recall Tokul ever being open for summer runs. Why not open the Snoqualmie if the Chinook are safe?

yeah it's pretty far gone, but you could probably sand off the rust and get down to some weldable steel underneath, then fab an L shaped bracket to go on the back side to tie the two together.

Amazing adventure and fabulous conveying of the stories of the fish. Well done!

Same here. I currently really dig the Sherpa Trailers out of Libby MT. I like their Bigfoot model.

Oh wow, this is awesome... thanks Dime!

I got it last year, at least I think it was trigger finger aka pitchers finger. I was making the bed and stretching one corner if the fitted sheet very aggressively down over the mattress and felt a pop in my left middle finger. There was no pain, but I could no longer straighten the tip of...
