Happy Birthday Goddess and Mojo!

Fishing is a great way to spend them!

Which rods are you fishing this weekend?

It's a rainy day in Seward today. I think I'll finally dig into the two...

If they were pirates, they would be fishing vintage fiberglass rods!!!!

I fish lakes with the loons all the time. I have never had a loon chase my fly. They will chase a fish I have on my line, but not a fly.

I don't use split shot, fly fishing on lakes is much...

FG-

It must be nice to have some open water!!!

It's been so long since I've fished that I've started reading the ice fishing forum!

I even walked through the ice fishing gear section of...

Have you considered Alaska instead of Canada? I'm not talking about the expensive lodges in Bristol Bay. I'm talking about the road system. If you stay away from where the salmon are running you...

You got a very good deal. The rod is worth much more than $200, even in the current low rod market.

I think a Granger 8040 is more of a DT5/WF6 rod. A 7' Granger would be a DT4/WF5 rod.

I...

Alaska is a frozen wasteland!

We're going through a cold spell, but it supposed to warm up a little and snow on the weekend.

Tonight
Mostly cloudy with a slight chance of snow in the evening...

So Goddess, how do you tie those size 32 flies????

Do you have some of the Orvis 5.0 fishing readers????

I fished an Ugly Stick fly rod on the Russian River for many years.

Then one year I saw a Lamiglas fly rod on sale at the Great Alaskan Sportsman's Show and I bought it. It made fishing the...

It's how I got to Alaska! Left to save NoDak land and then came back. Been fishing here since.

To me, catching big fish is overrated. I've caught my share of salmon and it is a lot of work. You are often fishing blind. I'd rather target a fish that I can see, and stalk it.

I'd like to...

The lake I was fishing today also had a water temperature in the upper 40s, which I think is extremely warm for this time of year.

Winter temperatures vary a lot from place to place. Anchorage is...

I've read that fishing is poor when the barometric pressure gets below 29.70.

Fishing is also supposed to be poor two days before and two days after a full moon.

Nice Fish!

21 degrees????? Wow! Goddess, I am impressed!!!! You'd fit right in up in the frozen wasteland!

How cold was the water?

Some big storm has blown warm weather up here and it has...

I have a 7'6" Pennington Pine River 5/6 bamboo rod and I am very happy with it. The craftsmanship of the rod is very good and the rod casts very well. I fished it on September 7th.

The few...

Hi! I fished a Hardy Marquis 7 reel on Thursday:

As you can see the reels can be used as LHW. I have seven weight fly...

Sportsman's Warehouse sells Griggs rods here too. I have their 8'6" 5/6 Vintage Glass fly rod and enjoy fishing it. I like the look of it too.

Here is their website: ...

Good job Mojo and Goddess!!!

Those are some nice fish.

Salmon are for catching and eating!

Trout are for catching and catching and catching and catching and catching and catching!

Yep, still in Alaska! But it's killing me. I'm towards the end of a three week vacation and I've been fishing almost every day of that time.

I'm not sure which is harder on my body, wading the...

Hey Goddess!

You'll be happy to know that I am now the proud owner of an Orvis fly rod!!!!

Nope, it's not the latest, greatest model that floats on air, it's a 1949 7'6" DT6 impregnated bamboo...

But Goddess????? You're building rods now too???? Isn't that going to upset the division of labor in the household where Mojo builds the rods and you tie the flies?????

If you are building rods...

I don't see anything on the Orvis website on the Hydras yet. Guess they are waiting until after the Trade show in Denver and for their new catalogs to post them.

I wonder if they are made in the...

It's okay to beach a salmon if you are going to harvest it. But if you are going to release the fish you have to be more careful on how you treat a salmon or you could be cited if an enforcement...

Clay-

Do you do any stillwater fishing? I think that I relax more when I am fishing a lake from a pontoon boat or float tube than I do when I am wading streams.

So if action preferences are...

I purchased that camera over the winter at Costco for $199 for just the camera, and so far I've been very happy with it.
