Luckily we don’t try to keep up with the jones’. Our only debt is our mortgage, and occasional home reno/car stuff. For us, it’s mostly we have teenagers, and the rapid inflation

I feel for folks in the restaurant biz. People have much less disposable income. I know my wife, and I, make more then we ever have, but it sure doesn’t seem like it at the end of the month.

Athletic’s Hazy is about the best NA I’ve come across. While not as good as the real thing, it’ll do when you dont want the alcohol

Nice report. I’ve only been there once, and need to get back!

Here’s a link to the pilot peak story https://blog.fishwest.com/back-from-the-dead-the-incredible-survival-story-of-pyramid-lakes-legendary-cutthroats/

They thought the original strain was extinct but they found fish that matched the genetic makeup on pilot peak on the Utah border. The summit lake strain is what we were catching the mid 2000’s and before. Thd pilot peak strain (or original pyramid lake strain) is a beast! They fight like a...

I lived in Carson City for 12 years and used to fish Pyramid from the shore. My favorite way to fish it was indo on the drop offs. Super cool place

I mostly just buy pre-made crusts or get a dough ball from the store. And I like to cook pizza in my travel trailers propane oven. Not exactly fancy. Tried a new combo of toppings recently that was pretty dam legit. I have a bunch of frozen chanterelles that I dry sautéed in...

It’s been good for me to re-evaluate my system. I fish a lot of big, heavy water….but not always. I think I have a big, heavy mentality, that takes away from my finesse approach. I’m having a nymphing reset if you will. But that’s the beauty of it. We constantly learn, re-learn, and are...

I keep a foam puck with straight 2x to a sculpin (typically) in my pack. I like Swentoskys bullet bunny with a tung bead. Sometimes, add split 18” above. will pop off my nymphs at tippet ring, and streamer on in like 2 minutes. Bounce that sucker like a cat toy.

I used to catch huge brooders they’d dump into the Carson River when I lived in Carson City. They were old, and I spose near the end of their lives. I tried smoking one and it tasted like what I imagine hatchery pellets would taste like

I believe Indiana has the second highest paid assistant staff in the country….and they are now being funded by Cuban. I’m a Beav, and I have no love for the ducks. IMO, ducks, along the usc’s, and the lsu’s of the world, are ruining college football. My point on Indiana is they have money...

In looking for next euro/nymphing rod I decided to contact Devin Olsen at Tactical Fly Fisher. I’ve watched a few of his vids over the years, but never really went all in. Well, I gotta say, I’m very impressed with his approach. I’ve been consuming all his vids I can. So much great info...

I decided to go mid-range price for my next euro rod. I’m going to be purchasing an Echo Shadow X, 11ft, 3wt.

So the Epiphany 10’6” 3 wt is solid choice in your estimation? I see varied reviews.

I’m curious about the Strike 2.0…..specifically the 10’6” 3 wt. I’ve had it in my hands, and it felt pretty nice. Not much I can find review-wise on the interwebs? Any of you guys fish it?

I wanted an affordable 9ft 4wt for dries. It was between the CT, and the Carbon XL. I actually bought both. I liked the Echo better, so I sold the CT.

I fished a Loomis GL3 9’9” 5wt for years as my do everything rod. Have piles of rods now, still fish the GL3
