    Default If your coming here to fish....

    Hay if you are planing to come to the Fish In this summer then you might want to pack some heavy artillery....

    It is hard to see but in the right hand corner of the water there is a HUGE Bull Trout, I had him on for about four minutes and then he made a run and I could not scramble over the rocks to keep up


    I caught and recycled his little brother later...



    First fish of the day seems almost anti-great...
    Nice size Rainbow that rocketed up to grab my fly...
    As in the Army, I have never had a bad day Fly fishing, some damn uncomfortable days but never a bad one!

    I am visiting my in-laws the first week in June in GP and you must be nuts to think I will not hit the rivers or the PG lakes in GC, what ever is open and legal.

    Your 9wt, will be just fine, just load it up with 15 lb, maxima, for the big boys and some long and fine leaders and tippet for the picky'er trout...

    Looking forward to seeing you in june and Aug.

    Just a tip. If you have polarized glasses with you put them in front of your camera and you will cut the glare off the water for pictures. Works the same as it does for...........you.

    Great Idea, but my heart was racing and I was in panic mode.

    I have had Atlantic salmon and pike on my line that did not get me going as much as this big boy..

    In more calm times I will try that trick..
