I use a plastic coffee can. You can sit on the edge of your seat or stand to use it. It also qualifies for a bailing bucket..

I’ve caught many coho off the beach using only a 1/2oz. hoochie fished twitching style on my spin rod. White, chartreuse and hot pink are best. Oh ya, purple occasionally..I chop of the hook and add a trailing one..

Available..great rod, discount price.

I’ve got my eye on a s-glass blank and parts from an E-bay vendor. Wanting to go “on the cheap” for this one. I can’t decide and keep going back and forth if it should be a 4# or 3#.

No bigger ones today, lots of these. .

This rod is built on a NFC Gamma Beta blank their most powerful, lightweight, fast action blank. Excellent for fishing where streamers and sinking lines are used. At home in windy conditions on the beach, boat or riverbank. I built this using gunmetal colored, stainless steel, single foot...

With the local lakes too hot for the trout, I’ve been turned into a crazed pan fish fisherman. Went to an east Pierce County lake today and had a great time. A lot of nice sized crappie with many bluegills and perch in the mix. I’ve decided to get myself a dedicated pan fish rod, just a little 8...

Not many fish that wouldn’t eat that fly. Keep it around for Fall trout fishing.!

Bluegill Bully... This is been, by far my most successful bluegill fly. It has lead in its butt, so it sinks, butt first as the elastic arms flutter, seemingly irresistible to the bluegills…strip and pause presentation..

Have you tried using leech patterns in this lake.?

Once, on the way up to Shoshone, we had fast fishing for 18” lakers where the creek enters Lewis. I couldn’t buy a fish in Shoshone though..

P.S. The Fly Shack has “factory overstock” lines. Their type 3 and 6 sink are pretty damn good, especially for $25..

I’m more targeting bluegills but, a type 3 full sink is versatile. Start stripping immediately over weed beds or countdown for deeper presentation. Juggling weighted and non-weighted flies with the presentation you want gives you a lot of choices.. It’s ended up being my go to line..

There’s an otter that hangs out under the fishing pier at Miller Sylvania state park that loves to steal fish of the lines of the surprised fisherman. Makes for some real entertainment..

Just for us never fished a pier guys; how do you manage to get them up top without a failure?

All the Munn Lake regulars use that boat in the Winter with great success. They fit in the back of a small truck just fine. Bon Voyage..

Most everything I’ve bought from Patagonia…

They make extension oar-locks to raise your oars. If you get a rotating seat, recommend, you’ll be sitting higher and will need to get the oars up above your thighs. The oars angle will change the higher up they are..two anchors? yes..A big bow one to set you in and a smaller stern one to keep...
