OPST hooks are the best! Great gap, sharp points, barbless out of the box. I have yet to see one straighten out and I've used them on big steelhead and salmon in BC.

The pram is sold.

Approximately 125 lbs.

I have a custom 10' Hopper II Spring Creek Pram for sale. It includes: Minkota electric motor; 8' composite oars; dual anchors w/quick release; boat net; boat stand; underseat battery storage box;...

There is a great deal of variability in the ways we decide to spend our time and money. For me, Kamchatka was about coming around a bend on the Zhupanova and seeing a perfect conical volcano belching...

And I say thank God for that! I started buying Patagonia waders about fifteen years ago because they made an XL Long that gave me plenty of room (6'6" tall). Never had a problem with them. About six...

I've been to Kamchatka several times. My last trip was in 2011 for the Kamchatka Steelhead Project. At the time, the only option was to fly around the world. I did my research on flight fares and...

I agree with everything Bruce said above. I've caught a lot of BC steelhead and have experienced the many subtle, and not so subtle, variations in takes. For example, you mentioned the peck, peck,...

I spend a lot of time in BC. I've fished most all the major rivers and more than a few little-known tribs. I can tell you Babine Norlakes is for real. The fish in that video are representative of the...

Flycaster,

Those springs weren't the only ones hooked. So were you. You will dream about the experience and talk about it incessantly with your friends. Your screen saver will rotate your...

My buddy took top honors on this trip so I'll post his grip-n-grin (he's the dude in the green/yellow cap, the other is Wally Faetz, owner and head guide at the Spey Lodge). I had one that might have...

I just got back from there last night. You are in for a real treat. There are several rivers in the area and your setup can vary depending on location. Last week the Kitimat was hot and the Skeena...

To the extent this is true it only applies below the canyon. Neither the humpies nor the chum can climb the canyon. I doubt anyone from the Lower Dean Lodge will be fishing below the falls given the...

Fishing on the Skeena was excellent the week before last. The river was low, steelhead green and Scandi lines with polyleaders were all that was necessary. Being the large river it is 100'+ casts...

Henry,

Such a speech will surely steel our resolve and head us in the right direction, but must there be bloodshed?

"... I'm wondering what solutions some of you have come up with. Any ideas to play with would be most appreciated. Every time it happened I'd get scared that I'll get a fish right as I'm trying to...

...due to casting stroke, rivers, flows,etc. Given this was my first time with the Rage line I make no claims as to having it dialed in perfectly. That said, I used a 10' Airflo poly intermediate...

I used the Rage Compact 510 for the first time on my 7134 Burkie while on the Dean two weeks ago. I really, really like this line!! I had been using a 510 Scandi and that's a great line, but the Rage...

...it really captures the essence of the place. I was at the other Behety lodge in Feb. and plan to go back again in '13. The flora, topography, weather and wildlife were well represented (though...

I had the good fortune to spend the past several days fishing the lower river at Bollibokka. The fishing was phenomenal!! I spent Memorial Day week there last year as well and the difference was...

I have a 10' Spring Creek Pram and would like to float the American. Is there a reliable local shuttle service I can contact? Also, can you give me some ideas on good half and full-day floats? Is...

I recently received one of Bob's six weights and got to try it out yesterday on the American. It came with one of Steve's custom Scandi lines with integrated running line. I started out with a 15'...

I sat in on a presentation about shad fishing on Valley rivers today at the Fly Fishing Show in Pleasanton. I was curious as I've never fished for shad. The presenter was a local guide and seemed...

I just returned from a wonderful trip to the Rio Grande. While the river is quite low, there are fish to be had in some of the pools and the 'feast days' were true feasts - and the same can be said...

I'm new to this board and this is my first post here. So, first things first, I'd like to say hello to all my fellow two-handed anglers and I hope to meet a few of you on the American one of these...
