Glad to see that camera back "up!" About 6 months from now, exactly, on a warm summer evening, the big brown drakes will fly, and hatch, and lay some eggs. Above and below this bridge a bunch of us...

I knew she had been ill the past year and a half or so, I sure did miss her warm morning greetings last year. It was always a delight to start your morning on the creek by her greeting at the door. ...
Yes, thanks for that.
I do not own, will not own, or consider owning a rod of more than two peices for trout fishing. I do, reluctantly, have a few 4-peice rods to take Tarpon fishing in the Yucatan and points where I...
Check out DriveWear transition lenses. They're one of a kind, and all I wear any more. Flats, rivers, lakes, cloudy, sunny, snowing, driving, whatever. I think of them as my "magic glasses." ...
The gurus over on Clark's classic forum have said you need to remove the spring, stretch it a little, heat it to 350 to re-temper it, and put it back. Some said replace the spring with one that adds...
Cold always does it for me. Icy cold. Ice water. I see you're in Hailey. Set it in some snow. (I miss Silver Creek!)
Thanks for the link. Loved the little film. I'd love to fish some of those "origin" waters some day . . . just because.
Good find and read. Thanks!
What he said!!! Try a high-riding CDC caddis for a different look.
My wife cast one of those Joan Wulff's with the thumb dent at the factory in Twin Bridges last summer. I've been hearing about how much she liked it ever since! I bought a "production" Payne 100...
Funny stuff all right.
That's me, but I didn't write it. Wish I did. Perfect!
My first job was guiding at Unalakleet in 1981/82. It was then called Silvertip Lodge. I was 17, fresh out of high school, missing graduation/prom and all that because the lodge was opening and I...
North Fork of the Unalakleet River in Alaska, 8 miles up river from the village of Unalakleet. There's others up there I'm sure, but this one has fresh kings, one day from the salt, little pressure,...
I tie everything (dries) on Orvis straight eyes, the big eye #4641 for sizes 12 and down, and the standard eye #1523 for 8's and 10's. I like the look, and I think they give the clearest shot to the...
Sage 490 LL Graphite II. If I could only have one, that's it without question. Followed closely by the Sage 389 LL Graphite II. Both are early 90's vintage. I've tried a lot of others, and...
Hands down, Silver Creek on the Conservancy, especially on a calm sunny day. Wyoming's Flat Creek through the Elk Refuge would be a close second. Cheesman is right up there too.
I also fish the...
My Labrador retriever has hair that looks like that too!
Wing looks like white polypropylene, like strands from a braided white rope. Could also be nylon monofilament, but don't see too much white mono around. There is a strand or two in there that...
If those were the only choices, I might go take a golf lesson or something. Maybe sporting clays.
I wish they'd all show the measurements of their tapers. Some do, most don't. The WF market is a nightmare. Some are like casting a Rapala. Some are nearly level.
All I need is a DT and a...
40 minutes south to one section. From there, 30+ miles of trout river.
60 minutes in the opposite direction to another section. Can follow the river from there for hours and hours to its...
That is correct. In Wyoming, the landowner "owns" the stream bottom and banks. Can't anchor, can't wade, can't touch it. More BS.
I have the Orvis sling pack, and it's "just right." Not bulky, can be turned behind me completely out of the way, holds just enough stuff plus a water bottle (I'm a minimalist-small boxes, tippet,...
