Looking for a Steelhead Taper in 7wt. Would purchase or have many lines and other things to trade. Thanks Russell

If you are thinking about buying these, they work great. Just make sure you car hood and or roof is not aluminum. Ask me how I know.

I’m not admitting to anything but it’s possible I did some stupider stuff than that when I was young 😂 Although I didn’t video record it

Here is how I carry the lifestraw for fishing or backpacking when water is around. The kleen canteen fits the straw empty and weighs very little. I fill it when I need a drink and the water is usually cold out of the river. Can fill it for a long hike in or out as well.

I’ve settled with the platypus gravity. Works fast and easy. Msr is the same company and just has different fittings. For on the stream I carry a lifestraw and a water bottle that fits the straw in it with lid closed. Fill with water when needed

It’s been 20 years since I was stuck on the east coast but here is where I would go and camp to get my steelhead fix. There would be hardly anyone there in November and it snowed on us a couple times but great memories and steelhead as well as large browns. Caught a brown that was 28”...

This one came up on the radio today. Always liked this one.

Just bought a new dt last month. All my lines are either DT’s or long belly’s for the most part. Despite what is mentioned earlier about using a wt forward for distance, I find wt forward lines don’t have the belly to airialize enough line for longer accurate casts and don’t mend well at the...

California has made the forever materials like gortex illegal here lately. Can still find ways to get products but already getting cannot ship to CA messages on line. Had to send a msr tent and foot print to wa and pick it up. Get ready for that in WA. OR won’t have to worry since fishing and...

Sounds like one washed up at log boom in 2023. Makes sense they would head up the slough

still have a couple left in the pile. 8150 ll389-3 an 8wt rplxi because it is a 5pc and an rplxi 5wt for searun which I don't get much of a chance for anymore are maybe not my favorite but still hanging around

Chris Reeve knives. Found one actually in stock. This one is also designed to remove the micarta scales for lighter weight packing but it is already pretty light.

I have impulse purchased some knives because of this thread and maybe regret a couple but this is not one. Picked up a new bird and trout knife i'm excited to try out and take backpacking with me.

Very cool area

I don't loose anymore flies off the magnetic patch than I do off any other fly patch I have had. They are the rare earth magnets and are very strong. I fish allot with a waterproof hip/fanny pack and these allow you to attach a fly patch without puncturing or having to have a place to hook it...

https://goertzenae.com/Fly-Fishing/fly-fishing.html The perpetual quest for the right amount of gear to bring along and how to carry it. This setup works pretty well with a Wheatley box with windows and clips. Also have found the magnetic fly patches are awesome and can be added to anything.

I was also able to “do the boo” too this weekend. Only a couple small browns were interested with what I had to offer but it was a wonderful day. I have been interested in finding a good deal on a sharpes and good to know that the cortlands are built by sharpes and impregnated.

We use the portable version for work in the mountains where there is no cell signal. Works very well and easy to use. For camping it is what I’m trying to get away from.

Haven’t been tying for quite some time. Pulled out my nice jungle cock cape to find dust and bugs. 😫

As a fairly newer user of bamboo rods I was wondering what other fans of streamer fishing are using as far as sinking lines and flies. Actually really interested in what classic style streamers, less bulk, are catching trout for people. @Dave Westburg I have been using a Teeny 130gr line on a...
