Same kinda deal? Put a lot on and duct tape the hell out of it?

Barge cement......hmmmm. gonna look into it

Any of you bought the caddis kit and re-soled boots? I have two Pairs of Simms boots that I had one of the soles come off. Uppers are in great shape. Found a YouTube vid where they used a ton of shoe goo and duct taped the hell out of it. Is this the way?

Our big un-match the hatch a-ha moment came at Hot Creek.......big fish sipping tiny midges....denial, after denial. Foam beetle🪲 was the ticket. Foam beetles slayed on Baum Lake too. Luckily, my wife was not waiting in the car either time!

This is a cool pattern for sure. Might have to tie some of these. Sidenote....I learned a long time ago that "un-matching" the hatch with a beetle pattern can pay off nicely. I always keep a few foam beetles on me river, and lake

Been wanting to check that area out.....more DIY, but I know access is kinda funky. Wood River is on my list as well.

One consideration is it's likely to be hotter than a popcorn fart.....nice thing about the Met is there's good shade.

I'd spend a day on the Met for sure. Check in with Fly Fishers place in Sisters. I've never hiked in on the D above LBC, always wanted to. Lots of water below LBC, on lower D, between warm Springs, and Trout Creek.

Cicada. Used to have big "emergences" in Nevada......came across a massive amount of em driving between Winnemucca, and Ontario on hiway 95......like covering the road, covering our windshield with splattered ones. It was wild!

I dig it man! I've used deer hair from animals I've harvested......pheasant tails, etc. I think that is one of the coolest parts of fly fishing/tying.

Makes sense to me to have balanced leech on bottom, sitting horizontal.......I like to use a loop knot so it bounces more. If you put the leech off a horizontal dropper might as well not use a balanced leech. I think the same applies to nymphing rivers. If I'm using a big jigged point fly, I...

I think I'm gonna do the sunken stone, and PT jig variant with CDC, and some other bling......it's been my go-to on the D lately.

Right on! I'm leaving town to fish in the AM.....no cell so I will probly be back on here Sunday or monday

I'd be down with this.....I fish dry/drop often. Tie up piles of droppers.

I've seen those and thought they would make a nice travel setup. Also seen a pretty cool one at one of the craft stores I've gone to. Forget which one now.

Cool

Very cool! Nice work!

Agee with Clarkman. This is a great explanation. I will add that the body of water determines a lot of how you will approach "euro"......when I fish the D, a good percentage to the time I am using a really heavy rig. It's, a big, brawling, river. More weight is the answer often times. I...

Awesome report!
