It’s coho time!

This guy and a friend (not pictured) were hanging on my property this afternoon.

Hit the sound with a non fly fishing friend. We dragged some flies, spoons and herring around on divers looking to get an early start to the year filling the freezer. Pretty solid fishing. Limited by 7:30 am even after releasing some smaller keepers. Deep red rezzie flesh… Will probably...

Pretty awesome trip. I’ve watched about 10-15 minutes and will definitely watch the rest.

I am surprised at the number of folks that have a preference. I am middle aged, normalish sized hands (see below) and no current medical issues like arthritis and truly have no preference. I feel like this thread is going to start me down path of noticing and hating 2/3rds of the grips on my...

Headed home last week to visit family. We had a couple milestone birthdays to celebrate (mine and my fathers) and a memorial service for my 93 yo grandfather who passed over the winter. As with all visits back home, I take a few fly rods along to fish the local tailwater where I learned to fish...
