I’m bad. I use my scissors

Cool country! It’s too bad those beautiful places seem to be lacking in healthy trout populations

Pretty cool except for the trash and the snake on ur arm

Huge Echo fan

Good dark roast coffee, black….none of that foo foo shit for me. Other than that, it really depends on the situation. If it’s dawn patrol, which I rarely do anymore, probably just throw a protein bar, or two in my pack. When camping on the river, which is my typical MO these days, I...

Cant remember why they started patrolling it….might've been people walking the tracks upriver, and some close calls? We used to just hop over and fish all the water in front of the CG

We should start a go fund me to put in a RR crossing at S Junction

I called BLM years ago and they said they were working towards a crossing with Burlington…..sucks that they haven’t made it happen. I miss it too.

I fish up and down from Maupin, and not much right around town. The average fish size has definitely gone down since the tower. I’ve just noticed in a couple spots some bigger than average fish then over the last several years. I remember when I was green as can be….wearing Hodgman...

Yea that stupid water mixing tower has really had a negative affect overall, on the lower D trout population…..just because I’m seeing above average size fish in a section is anecdotal at best.

Other random observations.. Less blackspot than I normally see…. Lots of people….not many fishing as per usual Osprey population is doing well A few people had campfires. I guess they thought since it rained they were good to go….pretty sure it’s no fires until October

Just got back from there. Anyone else feel like the average size of the bows is larger this year? Or maybe I’m just getting better….that can’t be it! 😂 No suckers for me this trip. Only two whities….a few pike minnows

This one is tough. Me, and fishin buddy are getting older. Makes me realize how delicate, and fleeting it all is. When we are young, it seems like it’ll go on forever. Glad you got to get out……so bittersweet.

I dig the jig man! I typically fish streamers on the ditch with straight 2x on a mono rig. I’ve tied up a pile of Swentoskys bunny bullet with a tung bead. Pretty much euro dancing that sucker like I’m bass fishing.

We need to come up with a code that the AI web crawlers wont understand

Well done sir!

This thing is a mess!

Yea I dig it! Haven’t done much with peaking caddis over the years but this is a cool pattern. Beyond the fact that it’s “peaking” you get a nice hot spot as well. It’s funny, I was just on the vise a bit ago and was using partridge “scraps” to tie a caddis soft hackle variant…I’ll post pics...

I spose this didn’t need its own thread. Probably coulda been in the “what’s in your vise” thread…..if mods wanna put it in there all good

I based it off this Orvis video I found https://howtoflyfish.orvis.com/fly-tying-videos/dry-flies/708-spent_partridge_caddis I typically don’t use SBS recipes any more. I prefer to just kind of “wing it”…..but this one is pretty much this pattern to a T….I've used it on the D with success. I...
