I am thinking about options to catch my first chum. From what I have read, the situation on the Miami and Kilchis from the bank isn't very fly friendly. Is it possible to just walk a little bit from the bridge access points and find space? Is it a crazy idea to fish from a canoe around low...

And from Lassen Volcano NP earlier this week

A handful from a trip to the OP about a month ago

Sabalo. I read they were algea eaters so I brought some milkfish type flies. Problem is they suck the algea off the rocks - the darker areas are where the sabalo have sucked the algea off the rock. Hard presentation to master. I tried dead drifting flies through groups and they ignored...

I would have been upset too. I was thinking about posting a similar question. Sorry if this is a hijack. Yesterday I was fishing a popular run down from the Mecca campground on the Deschutes. A young couple walks down to the river 15 feet from my backpack and other rods on the bank and ask...

I have cheaper Browning cameras. Triggering is not great but it is fun to see what walks through the yard.

this one is wide boy - he is by far the heaviest animal in the group.

you mean this guy yeah - nobody gonna mess with him except maybe this guy but I have not seen him in a while

Boys are warming up for the big event

Do you see a lot of them that look like steelhead as far as the spot pattern?

Sounds familiar

I have popper fished for lakers before and they suck at eating off the surface - sometimes 5 or 6 misses before they get ahold of it. Same for you?

I think they are almost full for next year already. If you are serious, I would get on it.

I first learned of kanekalon on a east cape Baja trip in 2020 - our guide liked it for his roosterfish flies. I use it on my LBM jig. I would say the stiffness is: craft fur < nayat < kanekalon < bucktail Not all brands of wig hair are the same stiffness though. I bought one pack that is...

No. That is a gurgler tied with a kanekalon tail and some other kind of dubbing for the body. Not my fly.

All in - flights, lodge, tips, insurance,... about $11.5k. That is just for the fishing part. Jim set up Refugio. I think he said it was $300 a night. The last place I went in Alaska was Grosvenor Lodge - very cool trip but not even in the same league as Pluma. A quick search suggests...

Day 4 was the middle section of the Pluma – above the lodge. Saw a cool spider and coral snake at the first stop. Both were dead - someone had smashed the snake's head so it wasn’t much of a threat. The most memorable part of the day was my biggest fish of the trip. As I started writing, I...

There are 5 main beats (non heli program) plus a 6th that is a longer walk before the fishing starts. Most end up repeating a beat instead of making the jungle hike. The two beats below the lodge are fished from the motorized canoes. The one directly above the lodge is mostly walking with a...

The trip to Pluma started on Saturday morning with a van ride from the hotel to a small airport for a 90 minute flight to a grass airstrip in Oromomo. From there you walk down to the Secure River and take a boat ride (motorized canoes) upstream and make a left into the Pluma River. The boat...

The day would start with a stretching session in the yoga studio while listening to the crested oropendolas and other birds on the property. After breakfast we would do a guided hike that was focused on birdwatching and getting to areas with views of the surrounding mountains. After lunch...
