If you like the bobber stuff, a small black mini leech of some sort, like a BMW, works well. My experience fishing there is that there can be long periods of not much catching, followed by periods of lots of catching. And the fish do look up a lot. Also know that the lake is not deep at...

I have this same boat in the 12 foot size and I can vouch for how stable it is. A great fishing platform!

They are the worst in the parking lot, while you string your fly rods. If I bring my pram, I will get the boat in the water, pull away from shore a bit and string my rods out there. They can be real bad in June, not so terrible by August.

I expect that shipping costs are figured into the price when a company offers free shipping and I don't want to pay twice for it. When I go to Walmart to buy something, I don't expect them to add shipping costs at the register. I have built on blanks from both Batson and North Fork, I'll deal...

Yeah, I was thinking of using it for bass poppers, might want a heavier line for that.

No doubt, an Olive Willy. I have caught the multiple types of trouts, as well as multiple types of bass and panfish by varying the size.

I have this rod, bought the blank and and built it myself. What line do you use with it? I have been using a Rio Gold 5 wt, using it as my indicator rod. I love this rod. Just wondering how it works with a 6 wt line.

Call or email the Outcast people, they are fantastic to work with.

I’m beginning to feel like I have at least some clue what I’m doing. Decided to try Trevor Wilson’s Champlain Sourdough. Premixed yesterday, added the starter this morning. It uses a smaller amount of starter, about 11%, and is supposed to take about 6 hours bulk and another 2-4 hours proof...

You have not seen my knots, there is nothing more elegant or functional about them.

Black fritz-like material and chartreuse booby eyes has worked well for me on the east side, when I feel the need to use a booby.

Note that all the fish stay out of these geometric shapes, so none of this makes any difference anyway.

Is there even a sarcasm emoji? Asking for a boomer friend.....:rolleyes:

That’s like way wrong, with squares I had each angler needing 10,000 sq ft, you got 7854 sq ft per angler. 43k is sq ft per acre so 5 anglers instead of 6 per acre. But, if we all have circles around us, we can’t use all available square footage on the water without overlapping. So please...

Sounds like fun Pat! On my bucket list....

So, if my math is somewhat correct, if you can anchor and cast 50 feet in each direction, then you need 100 feet times 100 feet or 10,000 square feet around you. (I'm not doing circle calculations in my head.) There is 43,560 sq ft in an acre, so it takes an acre of lake size for just 4...

I use this: https://data.wa.gov/dataset/WDFW-Fish-Plants/6fex-3r7d/about_data You may have to mess around to find what you want. I find that the best fighting fish are the ones planted as fingerlings, though I'm sure there is some inherent bias in that. My counting method is one, two, a...

I am no expert at backing up a trailer, but that launch is the all time worse, especially since it is often busy.

I can vouch for the versatility of this canopy. I have a soft trifold cover that needs replacing after 5 years. Rich and I fish together frequently and take turns driving. Our float tubes and backpacks and rest of the gear fits comfortably in his truck. With my truck, (Chevy Colorado) we...

Had the eastern Washington grand slam today, smallmouth/trout/perch/bluegill. Do I get extra points for catching them all on the same fly? I caught fish on multiple flies with multiple methods, but caught all 4 species on a super secret fly, the “drab green William”. I caught fish stripping...
