Football Season in AK

[G_Smolt]

I ♡ meat-eating footballs.

One of these years I need to do that.

I’m assuming you went with your go to bead/flesh fly streamer?…

 

[Robert Engleheart]

What do you have on your lower leg? Body armor?

Gotta give the extra effort to drive home from the bar in Alaska after heavily drinking for the game if its CHAINS REQUARRED on the highway!!

I always enjoy seeing an excited and happy angler.

Nah, high water made it tough to swing. Articulated flesh on a 12' leader under a bobber from the boat.

An old, un-released version of the Simms G3 with shin/knee pads.

Yeah, the goofy pic of me and my fishin' partner's epic double was a little blurry, so I didn't go with that one originally. Still pretty funny tho, so...

Is the wading that tough there or a preexisting condition?

Company trip?

Integrated wader knee pads are clutch, even for just normal conditions. I catch so many hogs, I'm always kneeling down on gravel and cobble to unhook and release them, and a little padding is oh so nice. My current Patty waders have them, but those ballistic looking unreleased Simms ones look really functional (if a bit aggro/body armor-ish).

There was no gravel showing anywhere in the river - if the water is 18" deep right off the grass, the swing nerds are standing on/in the fish. Turns it into a hangdown game, and that's kinda silly.

Simms put 'em on the Confluence wader line.
