    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    THIS is the right bracket. mickey rat is correct - a 30" shaft on your trolling motor works great. I haven't come up with a good way to mount both the motor and a rear anchor at the same time and am open to suggestions.

    Trolling motor on a Stealth Pro?

    Yes, I bought a plate that fits on the stern using the basic Stealth Pro bolts and holds an electric motor. They should still be available. Don't have the details in front of me right now and am away from our place. If you don't get better information between now and the New Year send me a P.M...

    What are you watching?

    Zak, Was so taken with how clever and unconventional Deadlock was that I watched it twice- second time with my wife. You may want to YouTube the other work that the Kate's (McCartney and McLennan) have put out. The Katering Show is a hoot.

    Who fishes Scuds?

    FW&P have determined that scuds comprise 80% of the diet at a local lake. You better believe we fish scuds there. They do like leeches for desert.

    Keeping a yearly fishing journal...

    I abhor body counts- bland accountancy was never my thing. Commercially available fishing journals have lots of slots for hard data; wind, moon phase, water temperature, fly patterns and, of course, number of fish landed. But unless you're fishing for memories you're missing the point. It has...

    I like Ants

    Hard bodied black ants are probably the most effective pattern you can fish in alpine lakes. Just sink one and as the cruisers swim by one will invariably grab. Brings back happy memories from my Colorado childhood.

    NFR Jim Brown RIP

    Yes!! Many years ago I had dinner with a fellow who had the unfortunate task of trying to defend Jim Brown in lacrosse. He told me that as great as he was at football he was an even better lacrosse player. Scary.

    Have You Attempted These?

    Grew up fishing the South Platte below Cheeseman Dam. Small flies were always the ticket there and I've always loved that approach. The most extreme I ever took it was on the Fall River near Bend in 2002. Just for grins I'd mail-ordered some 12X Varivas tippet- which strictly according to the X...

    Intel on the Henry's Fork (from my e-book)

    A few years ago I got to reminisce with my friend Dave Schultz. 25 years had slipped away since we last saw each other in West Yellowstone. I’d been to Yellowstone Park to work on the huge forest fires in 1988 but hadn’t returned and hadn’t kept in touch. Dave, commonly known as “Dutch”, is a...

    Float tubes suck

    You have the Right Approach. Guy I sometimes fish with once owned seven boats at the same time. 406 Kid might have that many in his armada right now. But who's counting?

    Golden Spratley

    phentex- a synthetic yarn made from olefin fiber. An olde time favorite. Really anything you tie black bodies with will work just fine. Got to admit that this video caused me to tie up a rendition.
