Wondering if the flies have been mailed out? Haven't received them yet.

My flies are done and will in the mail on Monday.

I am in and will tie an Assassin.
I hope we can receive them by first week of Oct as I am going mid Oct.

Thanks for the review, very helpful.
Am also looking into Scadden craft.
For the motor option, how do you plan to mount and secure the battery for electric motor on the frameless craft?

Very helpful thread. Took my first spey class last weekend on the American and really liked it. Think I will add the butt extension to my 10ft 6wt myself since don't live in Sacramento. The only...

Awesome, great to see you found some steel. Lot's of great fishing around my old home town. Maybe we can meet up sometime when I come to town.

Here's the link with a few more details about the project.

The river will be routed around the dam and the sediment left in place and locked there by a rock wall.

I don't like tmc5263 with 3X length anymore for streamers like wooly buggers for big fish. I've found the longer shaft flexes too much under load which opens the gap. This allows a heavy fish to slip...

If you're referring to Lake Alpine on hwy 4, then no.

Ummm....why not get a lunch box size soft sided cold bag like this Polarbag that keeps contents cold all day long. Just put the bag in the freezer ahead of time. Then you can pick what ever backpack...

Great story about lost and recovered fly rod. My son had a similar incident a few years ago. Set his rod down on a boulder, when he looks back, it's gone. Water there is about 10ft deep and too cold...

John,

Awesome trip and pictures, very envious. Sorry to hear about your water filter problem that shortened your trip. Since you were so kind to provide info on your hammock system, thought I'd...

Seriously looked into the 7wt with conversion kit a while back. Talked to a company rep about it who recommends up lining by 2wts with conversion kit on. Casted both setups, standard rod with 7wt...

Nice little guessing game here. My guess for "T" is that rafters + poison oak + rattlers = Tuolumne river.

Awesome report and never fished Montana either. Looks like you guys had plenty of gear with both the canoe and watermasters. Been looking at a watermaster also, but am torn between it and a pontoon...

Awesome! Just Awesome! What a great trip for you and your son. Thank you for posting so much detail.

Have seen this behavior before on some lakes and used a dry with a nymph dropper 12" below with good success. The hit ratio was about 3 to 1 for the nymph vs the dry.

Yeah, I'm in the same situation now that I want go backpacking again after a 20 year absence at the spry age of 51. I now have a bad ankle after a fracture which now has extra hardware in it (plate...

Awesome trip and report. Thanks so much for sharing it. Man, that is seriously ultra light. I just downsized my pack weight from 40 to 25lb with food, water, fishing gear for a 2 day trip. That is...

Cool. Gonna have to give that a try someday as I've yet to try fly fishing for shad.

Wow, awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing.

That is awesome Bob and allows inspirational! Thanks for sharing such great pics. Talk to you later.

Got my flies in the mail today and wow, very nice ties everyone. Thank you Bob for hosting. Can't wait to try them.
