    It sort of resembles Chuck and Duck maybe but not overhead and not really loading rod.

    Yeah side to side isn’t a bad way to describe it.

    Kids need permits? First I heard that. My Bro and I have a plan with my 3 to get them out and find some notable Trout. Their PB prior are 19-20” Tigers and ‘Bows. We’ve never really fished youth day and they are 5, 7, 9.

    Yes pulling in past the taper. Basically my line, leader, swivel, etc has to stay under rod length of 8’6”. With sink tip to heavy mono then swivel to a decent leader length the sink tip transition is past the guide but the mainline “head/taper” isn’t. Non taper is what I’m looking for or...

    Tubing and numbers are gram weights.

    I'm pretty sure I need one of these

    They had Prams too. Interesting little boats, I wonder how they’d do in the shallow fast foam?

    I'm pretty sure I need one of these

    I don’t see where I’d fit. If I’m spending your money I think we’d both be more comfortable in one of these. Maybe 18-20’ HaHa

    Got a cool hard copy of Trout of the World or something like that. I’ll try and put pics up tomorrow. I think it was written in the late 80’s maybe. Interesting read from someone who chased trout seemingly everywhere and has a good blend of fisherman’s perspective mixed with Biology. Not a dry...

    I tried the thunderhead waterproof stuff out too but it was real stiff from the waterproofing, it didn’t open easy from waterproof zipper, and most importantly it didn’t slide around front to back on the belt. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to even try out the new pack. Our youngest turned 5 and...

    Made the trek to get the Fishpond Setup. Ordered the Umpqua cup holder online. Got lucky shelf had all kinds but the one I wanted. She was unpacking the latest shipment and I snagged the only one in it. While at the shop I grabbed a few more spools of Amnesia in various weights to dink around...

    With my plans with the fly shop I also need “normal” line to learn so chopping mine is going to require buying new. I’d much prefer piecing together another solution. Worse comes to worse I’ll buy new line and chop it leaving my golden setup alone. Might be Superstitious a little LoL

    Melvin, SL, or other Professional Flyfisher

    Looking for a “Running Line” but not shooting style. Old WF floating line, don’t need tapered section. I’m playing around with setups and one thing I’ve noticed over a few years is my small stream setup using a fly line is great for how I fish but sometimes on rare occasions the taper shoulder I...

    Looks like Evening Hatch has the FishPond Switch Pack. Gotta get a chain come along for kids new zipline anyway. I don’t really flyfish yet but they had a Galvan Brookie 5wt reel that’s essentially drag less/clicker less that fits my unique fishing conditions beautifully. I need to upgrade...

    I’m pretty exclusively phone the past year and a half. Explains many of my typos. AI isn’t I enough. I’d talk to text but those that have either met me or seen the episode of Big Bang Theory were Kripke gets a new iPhone with Siri and she can’t understand anything he says would understand my...

    I just pity any fool that tries dating her pretty much ever. Glad there’s a handy cliff by the house with a bad rep already. After the first one has a mishap maybe they rest will get the memo. Love my boys but when she was born I knew, I’d kill for her and be killed for her. I thank my wife all...

    Caught nothing but wouldn’t trade the short trip for the state record. One of those unplanned things that turn into a “Moment in the Sun”. So much doom and gloom it’s easy to focus on secondary things.

    Not shipping for another day but designed these. I don’t have this style and my first trip the loafer style was ideal but all Raven offered was so light (1.5-2.5 gr) even a light breeze on line affected them tremendously. These are heavier and I’ll get to try out a different style. Don’t know if...

    Vest/Chest Pack

    I have no boat/raft/canoe/ATV so it’s on me and I’m packing sometimes 6 miles round trip dropping and regaining 2k’ elevation in short distance/steep terrain. I hate carrying extra weight, probably should get back under 185 lbs honestly but awkward packs and gear are miserable as is two items...
