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...
