Got home last Thurs after 4 days on the Yellowstone just outside of Mammoth Hot Springs. This was a birthday gift from my wife and the 2 of us hiked into some backcountry campsites right on the...
Well folks, the trip has come and gone and I got home late Sat night. To cut to the chase, I didn't land a single fish. Caught one but lost him literally within seconds when the tippet broke off the...
I'm not sure what it is about a sling but I always wind up with this crampy ache in my left latisimus dorsi. The sling I was using was a Patagonia Vest Front Sling and its designed to only go over...
Yeah, Andy up at Duranglers and I have hit it off pretty well and he's helped me out with a lot of stuff over the past year. Between them and Rich and John at Telluride Angler I've dumped an entire...
And for some reason, the "Registration page has been closed by the administrator," on the SJ river forum... bummer. Will be doing a lot of reading only.
Been in regular contact with the folks at Duranglers and they sell the permit. I'll check out that campground, haven't really looked at much of that yet. Figured if I'm gonna go get cold on purpose...
Gonna take the better part of week and do some winter fishing on the Animas. I'm looking at the Ute tribal waters south of Durango. Any of you folks been to that part of the river? Last July I was...
LOVE the SA Sharkwave GPX on my 6wt. The Mastery Textured on my 4wt is good but I'm considering changing that one over too. That Sharkwave is just awesome.
The San Miguel in SW CO because IMO, there's no where on earth more beautiful than the San Juan Mountains. I can't imagine being happier anywhere else for every reason that matters to me.
According to the shop I trust with everything, Patagonia claims improved fit in the Rio Gallegos waders by reducing the amount of material in the area above the belt. That's not where I need...
Cutting to the chase: does anyone have experience with both the Patagonia Guidewater and Rio Gallegos waders, in the same size? Has the fit changed from one model to the other or are the...
Thanks Jim. I guess a few pics would be nice, huh? Everyone likes pictures...
Best catch I was able to actually land. Learned some valuable lessons in that dept!...
Enjoyed my time on the San Juan and caught about a half dozen decent fish. Only landed 2 though, the biggest of which was in the neighborhood of 16". It was a humbling experience and taught me some...
Gonna try this Airflo Di-Do stuff. Heard good things.
Experience with sink putty? The stuff from Orvis, nymphing mud, any of that stuff any good? From what I'm finding it appears some of it sticks well, some not. I like the idea of not having split...
I think I'm gonna try both. The thingamabobbers are easy to find and cheap and the New Zealand Strike Indicator looks pretty neato too.
Thanks Rich, very helpful. At the tie in between the leader and tippet, where you're saying to place the weight, is a tippet ring sufficient? Or does that cause a problem a knot wouldn't...
And...
Great info, thanks a ton. This seems to be where experience on a specific piece of water really pays off. This whole weight/depth thing is something of a mystery to me.
Where did Dub's response...
Really appreciate all the feedback, thank you. The upper and lower flats areas have me intrigued and I anticipate spending a lot of time on those parts of the river. The nymph and midge fishing will...
Hi folks. This is my first post and I've been looking through a lot of stuff. Great site you have here and thanks for having me aboard.
I've been fly fishing for most of my life, starting...
