Nice Mike. That looks better than a lot of the ones currently for sale on online fly shops. Is that about a size 6?

Great trips. Clearly I need to add more lakes to the south on my list of ones to visit someday. I’ve been happy with my Michelin - Defender LTX M/S2 from Costco on my Tacoma.

Nice fish for redemption. Some of those lakes with only a few fish can be tough and they definitely seem more spooky

The fly in question originated from a report of success in high lakes with a fly called the Stayner Ducktail. A quick internet search revealed the pattern below. The Stayner Ducktail is a classic wet fly and streamer pattern invented in the 1960s by Ruel Stayner, a sporting goods store owner...

Definitely was a fun trip. Nice conversation about the places we've been and the ones still to visit. Here's one of Dave putting the wood t a fish to keep it out of the timber. Plus, a pretty westslope from my end of the line. Thanks Dave for letting me tag along.

I don’t know but I think 2 to 5 lb bluefin trevally that lived in alpine lakes could be lots of fun

Nice looking area you made it out to. Only a little smoke to cloud the sky. That’s about my distance limit for a day trip as well all depending on how much elevation gain over that 7 miles.

So is Lil G the test lake for the supermale Brookie plant?

Like porter2 I have the 389ll. I’ve used the 444 peach WF but the line that has stayed in use is the royalwolff triangle taper You’ll love the rod no matter what line you end up with

Nice trip! Time traveling float plane?

I also currently in need to replace my leaking waders. Can't remember exactly when I got them but its be a long while. They are vison waders which is a Finnish company that I had an acquaintance that was repping. I've looked and many of the brands mentioned. One issue I have is I want a...

My iPhone is water resistant for 30 minutes at something like 6 meters of depth.

I hadn't thought about tethering my phone case to either myself of my packraft/float tube. I had thought about tethering it to a float. Kind of like the ones for boat keys. Here's a link to floating case, which is more what I was thinking about.

Just wondering if anyone uses a floating phone case when fish from a floating device like a float tube. Since the phone has become the camera of choice and dropping overboard would be more of a pain than just replacing a camera. I always have a bit of uneasiness when taking pics while out in...

Another lovely trip to the mountains

The weathers nice and not to hot and the air is still clear (hopefully it will stay that way). I planned to head out on Tuesday, so I looked at the maps and chose a location. Not too long of a hike, a little over two miles minimum with options to press on the a few additional lakes. Out the...

Dave looks like another great trip. I always find you post to be a learning experience as I end up googling whatever classic wet flies you fished do see what they look like.
