Great starter kit or a backup for when you break your rod on a trip. The rod alone retails for $200.

New 8-1/2', 5wt Orvis Clearwater rod with case. New Clearwater Large Arbor II reel...

Back at you....It's yours if you still want it. Thanks

Price: Free plus shipping costs. Reason: Tip #250 from the book. I would prefer this go to somebody new to the sport. First good story gets this. I'll even pay shipping for the right story. Thanks

By friendly, do you mean you had coffee and a chat or did the LMB agree to be caught by you on a regular basis ;)

I'm jealous, I wish I could catch a bass in the backyard.

I thought some of you might enjoy this article, check out the full article in the Surfcasters Journal. Any West Coast wetsuiters out there?

Is Mike tying commercially?
I like deer hair for bass because they ride a little bit lower than foam...I've had bass slurp deer hair as if they were trout.

Thanks for all of the replies. We just booked at Lake Tahoe which will be nice but I am a little disappointed that Almanor didn't appeal to all parties. I'm thinking a trip with just the GF and I...

I'm familiar with the surrounding areas but have never stayed or fished at the lake. I'm renting a large cabin(s), which needs to sleep at least 14, for a family reunion the last week of July and...

Way to dirty up the Benz on a test drive. Did the salesman accompany you? ;)

I would have expected some crushed tail pipes based on the one picture. Careful tire placement, traction and the right...

Love the no frills aspect you're pursuing. I was just scouting Kirman the other day using Google Earth, it's great for pre-scouting when you might be walking in under the cover of darkness...but it...

I don't have a dog in this fight but this is too funny to not be quoted ;)

Next in line if the others don't purchase/trade for it. Thanks

Do you ever run across lake regulations that state inflatable craft must have a minimum number of air chambers, like four? A lake near me has that regulation, but I've seen float tubes on this lake...

I have the Outbound Short in a 6 and 8 wt matched to TFO TiCRx rods. I love them both, I've only used them on LMB and in the surf. Where they excel for me is when casting with a shooting basket, with...

I think these need to be armored up with rubber, my phones always die a slow death due to repeated contact with the ground and definately need to be waterproof, my last one enjoyed a lovely swim in...

Thanks for all of the replies, it looks like rental might be the way to go...I'm already hooked.

As a courtesy to a Baja newbie can you guys state what is the basic gear needed for a week of this type of fishing? Doesn't have to be too lengthy just the fishing gear, not the sunscreen and hats...

I've been there once and will go back...it's a technical spring creek that you should fish while on your knees to lower your profile. The campground was fine with good spring water that was too cold...

I think you nailed it. I don't use one YET but the best I've seen is a "walking stick" cut down to about 4' in length and attached to this persons hip. I think I would avoid a bungee especially when...

I also "accidently" caught my first carp on the fly. I was bumping a black wooly bugger near a rock pile targeting river smallmouth when I got the grab....I feel that I need to target these fish and...

Why haven't I read this book yet? :confused: Every hunting fishing and 4x4 forum I frequent mentions this book frequently.

Anxiously awaiting pics, been wanting to go down since I saw Jose Wejebe...

=D> Fantastic report, thanks for spending the time to post it. This trip report needs to be a sticky in the Salt Forum.


I only read through all three reports quickly but I'm salivating to do...

Some good feedback here. Thanks

I also had to research the Belgian cast, here's a good description from Midcurrent:http://www.midcurrent.com/articles/techniques/lord_belgian.aspx
