This is what fishing on the Lochsa could be like.
Picture was taken at the 2003 Idaho Fish-In, on the Locksa, right in front of the cabins at the resort.
Just one question. Did you have a ghillie to tie on your flies and unhook your fish. I just know there was a servant to bring you some refreshment whilst you angled with the flye.

I once found a chair like that on the Grande Rhonde…only it had a hole cut in the seat for obvious reasons…makes one wonder :twisted:
Ha ha thats how I fish! I am planning on going to the fish-in on the 24th what flies should I be tying? does anybody know?
Gnu,
October Caddis size 6 and 8, Cinnamon Caddis sizes 8 and 10, BWO’s 16 to 20, Ants 10-20, Elk Hair Caddis sizes 10 and 12.
That should get you started. Bring your tying stuff. Lots of room to tie in the evenings in the Rumpus Room (What is a rumpus anyway?)

Your picture reminds me of a good friend that owns some property on the Methow River here in Washington(and yes that is why he is such a good friend). After spending a hot summer day floating the river fishing for cutthroat and rainbows my friend was sitting in a lawn chair in the river in about 2 feet of water wearing only shorts casting, now get this, an elk hair caddis to rising white fish. I didn’t have a camera but it is a sight I will never forget.
Man that really is “lotech”, Where’s the beer holder??
Oh! Geeze! now I will have to go out and get some of those huge sized 8 and 10 hooks. I have been using #22 on up to My big ones #14. My buddy ties and uses #34. I think he’s nuts.
I do have a dozen or so Elk hair caddis allready tied in #12s .
Thanks Ron I really appreciate that. I fish small barbless hooks in the mountain lakes around here. All wets, nymphs and the like but zero experience with drys. Except one magical night with elk hair drys at a nearby trophy lake for a dozen 4-5lb rainbows on a borrowed dry line. I really have zero experience with flys on moving water. I can read water pretty well as I was an avid spin fisherman. LF and JC have assured everyone that there is always plenty of helpful advise so I am planning to pick brains when I get there.
If your friend Ruth has left the building does that make you ruthless?
Gnu bee, we sure are looking forward to meeting you. Drive safe; see ye in Idaho. 
Ray,
Please be assured there is no beer holder on my chair. But, what you can’t see from the photo is the trailer hitch. :lol: Wait till you see my new tent. I offered to rent out the second story to my boss, just to keep track of me. :mrgreen:
Joe,
“Where’s The Beer Holder?” Do you have a secret past that I don’t know about??
Doug :?: :?: :shock:
