Have you tried Hosmer Lake? Fly fishing only, nice variety of campsites with a few having stunning views of Mt Bachelor and the Sisters. Small enough that you aren’t likely to get blown off the lake when winds pick up. I’ve only been there before or after Memorial Day weekend, so crowds...

For the bonefish and permit patterns, no doubt.

if push comes to shove, and you can't spare the room for paddles, there are webbed-finger gloves to be had for purchase online. I used to own a pair, back when I was into boogie boarding.

Like the headline says, I plan on doing that. I’m not the driver, so I’m not sure the wet side lake we’ll be at. I trade flies for gas travel. You tell me who gets the better deal. Last time out, my bud out fished me with the flies I made. My best rationalization is my own R&D… BTW, ask...

I could see your bow wake from the opposite side of the lake where Brad and I were at. Kind of like the fly fishing equivalent of flushing up pheasant. Glad you showed up! 👍🏼

Sorry for not posting anything for a long time. Been fishing a couple of times, but I found that I never fished over the time covered by a 2025 license. That was the year of work and then a back injury and then back to work ASAP. So my man, BB, and I hit a semi-local lake within an hour’s...

Anyone try stripping a streamer fast through murky water? I tried that through the chalky water at Lake Diablo. Turned up silvery trout there. Figured telegraphing to their lateral line was worth a shot.

Yeah, basic everyday stuff is expensive. However, there are durable goods, like Apple hardware, that’s priced the same as back home, but Hawaii sales tax is only 4.7%. Pro tip.

Dang! Some killer swag! Have I been out of the loop, due to work and other mishaps! I sure need to score some goodies, once I collect a paycheck again. The past 2.5 years have been pretty rough on me.

If you happen to be in Downtown Honolulu, checkout Downtown Coffee in the Fort Street Mall section below S. King Street. Do try their iced latte. Best I’ve ever had before or since. Then see about buying beans. They roast them on-site. All beans used are from Hawaii. For Kona beans, I’ve...

Kind of reminds me of the Dot.com bust of the 1990s. But the level of investment is far larger this time.

Brian Chan once noted that big trout move into the shallows in search of food during the cold days of winter. If you’re fishing the same depth of water you normally do in Spring and Fall, trout may not be there as much.

Bass are usually lethargic in winter. At least they never made themselves known to me in the past in the middle of winter.

Did you try working the shallows?

Gives the lake’s name a new meaning…

Jumbo Trout! ❤️

Winter is JT time! If my weekly schedule wasn’t so chock-a-blocked with PT sessions and other crap, I’d have reports spilling out everywhere.

Stinky fish!!!

Sounds like a lake’s cycling towards becoming a meadow. Ugh.

I always thought that Hosmer Lake has the best aesthetics. Plus, it’s fly fishing only.
