Some pics from Gold Lake...

Chupacabra or GTFO!

Broken Arrow campground is away from the lake but South shore is flat. Both Diamond lake campground and thielsen view have lake front sites and boat ramps. Hope this helps

Fish a high Cascade Lake and saw big fish chomping something large on the surface. Not sure but seemed like they were occasionally eating the butterflies that are everywhere this summer. Tried a chubby...no takers. Then I went to my fav O Caddis pattern Whomp! Got two big brownies

The Mo has good numbers of nice size fish. Being a tailwater it is somewhat protected from spring tunoff but can still have rather high flows. If other area streams are blown out, all the guides head to the Mo, so probably avoid weekends. BWOs. various mayflies, caddis, sow bugs, worms and...

It's not as fun as it might sound 🧐 To me, "Smutting rises" are those just barely sub-surface boils when a fish is eating emerging bugs. They just show a quiet boil or maybe you see a tail but no nose. Definitely not actually eating on the surface. That's my definition, may not be accurate...

A little change in the weather is coming, so hopefully you'll get more true bwos and not just the micro mayflies. Enjoy

...almost to Idaho, where every spud chucker comes to fish. You know the spot. So catching was rather slow on the usual assortment of tiny zebra midges and mayfly nymphs. We were getting some, but not the reliable results my friends usually experience. Never the less, it was a great trip and...

I was just reminiscing with some friends about my Buoy 10 mis-adventure fishing from a 13 foot Livingston. A hot coho got wrapped in the prop, and while trying to reach out to unwind it ... I fell out of the boat head first! Doh! :rolleyes:

Size 14 is my most common. I use black crystal flash for legs. Did ok with a brown beetle too

Last year I went to their store in Cody, WY. Nothin' but crap! Worse than Big 5

You had me at "carp fishing you're going in harm's way"

My new Simms waders were oozing water from the get go. They patched them for me but IMHO Simms has a manufacturing problem. /threadhijack

Jeez that's a very kind offer. If my fishin' buddy decides to try this I will reach out to you, but for now you should hang on to it. Thank you all for your advice too!

An elder friend of mine is outfitting a used DB he bought and is considering an extra pulley on his anchor for ease of lifting. Seems like these double ropes want to twist and jam. Will be used in rivers and some mild lake fishing too. Thoughts? PS. I searched but didn't find a thread on this...

Just when I finally learned to slow down on the hook-set...she went and died on us 🧐 Now you have to say God save the King PS: thnx for the gorgeous pics

Point Wilson was perfect yesterday, except for fish. Gorgeous day and not too much wind. Some friendly gearchuckers with advice for the fly flinger too. What a wonderful park! I fished 2-3 hours without seeing anything caught and no jumpers.

You guys are awesome. I'm feeling inspired!

Well dang it, not looking good for shore fishing. The creel reports show some pinks at the Ediz Hook ramp but none further east. Ediz doesn't look very wade friendly at high tide. The very tip is not accessible due to CG Airstation? Does it make sense to go to Point Wilson with no pinks...

Cool looking beetle too (y)
