I got it. when I come out west, I get the freedom I seek, room to breathe and room to cast on these famous rivers of the west. It is wide open compared to what we have here in the east. The only...
My point after jumping into all this mess, was you cannot tell anyone anything like you could in the old days, with a simple nod everything was accepted to be kept on the down low. There is a whole...
old Chinese proverb, those who know don't say and those who say don't know....as we say here in the EAST

Regal, with stainless jaws
Rock on John

your mileage may vary
John, great experiment. Some years ago, i tied a pink caddis, ( pink dubbed body no wrapped hackle, a super gaudy shrimp pink zlon wing ), and i fished it on our hard hit tailwater, the one where...
I will be on the bighorn in mid late sept chucking butt monkeys. i like to see big fish roll in on them
