What's in your vise?

I used this fly with great success today. I now use it unweighted and fish it as if it was a booby. Set-up a cast worth distance beyond the weed line. Cast to the weeds. Let it fully sink to bottom and strip slowly, with pauses. Subtle strikes..

Been three weeks since I got out, but I got mom settled in her place for now and she had a smile on her face last night. I think this is going to work Since I've gotten used to driving a lot, I decided to put some miles in. Got to fish in a stunning place, and although I got some alone time, I won't hotspot someone else's playground. Fished my favorite low water early summer setup, an ECH, Diving Caddis, and BHGRHE on the 4wt Recon.
Fished just like the hatchery I'm used to.
Although I don't find these in my usual haunts.
Happy Fourth of July everyone. May the United States of America continue to be blessed as a fantastic place to live.

Nice brah…
Looks like the summer run ate the EHC? On the swing?
They all worked. This one ate the hare's ear slowly swung then lifted. It was the best fly all morning.

Thought I'd drive once more before it gets too hot. Fished a bit higher with a hares ear and a stone.
Pretty little fish.
And lots of 'em.
Guess the 4wt isn't quite enough stick for summer runs, especially if you're and idiot and hold it straight up to keep the leader from hanging up. The middle broke first, the tip I think dragging through a rock garden, then the tippet broke and the fish left with my fly. Been 34 years since I broke a rod, time to see about contacting the Orvis warranty department I guess.

Good to hear (not the doing something dumb part). I got the inter-web stuff done, a shipping label printed, and will probably drop it off tomorrow.
Foreshortening is a helluva drug
Broken rod is an understatement. This blew up
at least I admit it...
I'd guess this one went 35 easy....prolly 37.
In all seriousness, my buddy thinks it went 10. It was a little larger than one of his that we measured at 7.5 (only one we took the time to actually get a weight) but I have my doubts that it hit double figures. But, we'll never know for sure, so I'm gonna call it 35.
Matt wins the snarky comment award.
@Tom Butler I just broke a tip on an orvis rod and was back to fishing in 8 days. Pretty good in my book.
Not an orvis but rather a rodmaker 8’3” glass rod. Fishes bugs real nice
