    Upgraded the wife to the G3's last week so looking for a new home for her used Freestone's in Medium / Full. No damage, just a couple dirty spots from use that could probably be wiped off. Some great...

    Del Norte Redwoods intel?

    Headed up north for the week, camping at Mill Creek. I’ve found some scattered info about cutties in some of the streams that feed the Smith, but not much detail. Anyone familiar with the area?

    Definitely. We spooked a number of fish hugging the banks in really skinny water that we didn't even see until it was too late. Being super aware of shadows, moving slow into the water, all of that....

    So I realized I made a big mistake in my initial post on this topic. I wrote "When I fish a pegged bead the hook isn’t almost ALWAYS in the jaw, typically on the outside, and I can unhook and release...

    Yea, it was just under 1/2 tank when I parked it and totally empty when I got back in. Obvious fingerprint smudges on the tank door through the road grime. If someone's in a spot I'd always throw...

    ahhh yessss, 7 pages and 3100 views, I guess this is controversial haha.

    Went back out yesterday and actually ran into Jim / Bigfly at Glenshire for the first time, super nice to meet you in real...

    Echoing what everyone else here is saying. Gilligan. He finds the fish and is just an all around good dude to hang with. I've been on his new raft and it's super fun / easy to get in and out of if...

    Jim I think that’s a great perspective and position and one I agree with. I wanted this thread to define clarity on the technicality of pegged beads vs glo-bug type flies and which, if the angler...

    Ralph that’s a very interesting article, read the entire thing. But in the pic it shows the bead pegged, what...8 inches above the hook? I’ve never seen that done, ever. That’s psychotic and...

    To reiterate (and to kick a super dead horse haha) my position from the start was:

    Egg style patterns that are tied on the shank of the hook seem to be taken dangerously deep.

    Pegged beads (as...

    Forgot to mention, was in Puerto Vallarta years back and ordered a “combination pizza” from a local spot and I kid you not it came with cut up hot dogs and raisins and I was like “damn you guys are...

    So I kinda figured that there'd be an attempt to hijack the topic and move it away from the technicalities of pegged beads vs other egg patterns and into "you just aren't elevated enough young...

    So I genuinely love these kinds of conversations. I’ve said it before, friction is what builds ideas and I think it’s perfectly fine for people to go after eachother a bit...as long as it’s all for...

    Well Ralph, I’m taking mortality. Ethics are subjective, mortality is documentable. I’m interested why there’s a standard for one thing when the evidence doesn’t seem to support it. If you want to be...

    And side note... I’ve been fly fishing for a bit now and spend more time on the water than I should probably be. Looking back I have 100% mishandled fish, held them out of the water, done the grip n’...

    You read it wrong, go back. I said I’ve noticed glo-bugs and other egg imitations tied on the shank of the hook taken deeper, and that’s pegged beads always seem to be on the mouth, either right...

    “...why sacrifice mortality and honest catching for numbers”

    This is the conversation I want to have. Are you saying, through experientation and evidence, that a pegged bead IS a more harmful to a...
  22. Pegging beads...more controversial than pineapple on pizza???

    Haven’t posted here for a while, been fishing a ton. Had a somewhat humorous interaction a few months back and been on my mind. Went into Kiene’s to pick up some 8mm beads and pegs, selection was...

    Honestly if you’re only hiring a guide to go trophy hunting you probably aren’t going to the Yuba anyway. I’ve logged hundreds of days on the Yuba over the last 7 years and felt like I had it pretty...
