    Hey Yubaman, there are a few places to stay in Alcova, which is at the top of the Gray Reef section: Sloanes General Store, the Reef Fly Shop, and the North Platte Lodge. All have websites. I’ve...

    Farther east, the North Platte has some nice trout. There are several fly shops in Casper, WY that post reports online.

    That’s a touch of class right there. Really nice tying, and photography too.
    Curious about the hook choice, though. Care to explain, SST?

    Good reply, Bill. Rivers with “no fishing.” You are radical! But having certain rivers put aside as sanctuaries actually sounds like a good idea. I know you’re one of the good guys, and...

    No offense Bill, but with the current state of wild steelhead I think it’s completely irresponsible to be holding these magnificent fish out of the water for hero shots.

    Steve Godshall makes a line called a "scandoid" that is very similar to the rage. I have one he made for my ACR 1255 and it rocks. Tell him what rod you have, what you're looking to do, etc. and...

    Bauer reel

    On a recent trip swinging flies for trout, I dropped my Bauer CFX Spey reel in the river (after a long drive I was a bit hasty when rigging up). Normally not a big deal, right? However, the air...

    I used to know a kid who lived in Dayton who fished the river with bait. He caught mostly bass, but every now and then he'd get a trout. I'd imagine with conditions in recent years, it would only...

    No problem Beast. Yeah, I've tried a 10' Airflow intermediate poly leader for swinging small wet flies and it worked just fine. These lines are pretty versitile. I'm usually doing...

    I use the 275 on my 5 weight switch rod, so that sounds right for a 7 weight single hander. It throws the light iMow tips nicely.

    Moths!

    I just discovered that moths have infested my tying desk. So far, I've found one hare's mask and some saddle hackle that have been completely destroyed, but I haven't really started digging through...

    A 12 inch fish doesn't put much of a bend in a five weight. I'd recommend a four weight. Put a short skagit line on there and you could throw streamers on a sink tip or swing soft hackles on a poly...

    Hey Tayler,
    I just saw this post. You still looking to trade?
    I have an Airflow skagit compact 540, used once. I'd be interested in the Godshall 330 scandi.
    Let me know.
    Thanks,
