  1. Midges... I have used them as part as a dry dropper. The problem I have is when trying to fish them on the bottom. I've trailed midges behind a SJW or PT but I'm convinced this just costs me money when I get hung up on a rock or log. If I use a midge above(off a tag) I find that it ends up wrapping around my fly line every other cast. Does anyone actually have luck with fishing these near the bottom on the bow? If so, any tips or links would be awesome. Cheers, JT
  2. - Nope, I have always just tried to land the fish as fast as possible, regardless of head up. - Yes, If I mis-hook a fish and he's sideways I just horse him in and release him or loose them -N/A - I have fished without a net on small cutty streams, where I am using barbless hooks and committed to the dry. Reason, less things to carry and I have a horrible fear of bears and have convinced myself that a fishy net might bring unwanted friends ( total BS but when fishing alone my mind sometimes plays tricks on me)
  3. I have a 10.5 switch 5wt and love it. I originally had it setup with a RIO switch line, which maybe it ok at doing everything. right now I have a compact Skagit line and love it. Spey cast down stream then switch lines and work a nymph rig or large dry dropper upstream.
  4. Different disease but would literally cry if this happened to the bow http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37177181
  5. I just don't understand why people can't check the regs!! especially the Bow. you can look at your phone and go, o-**** I guess I shouldn't use bait and poach fish.
  6. 7 sounds like a awesome day. I'm happy as long as I don't get skunked!
  7. Anyway we can petition for the Bow to be a fly fishing river only!!
  8. @SanJuanworm I really hope you catch these A-holes!
  9. I haven't landed anything since Nov 2015. been out at least half a dozen times.
  10. agree with Big Dirty, went to a size 16 and got a few hook ups. Didn't get any bites on the boatman above Policeman's
  11. Ya I was wondering what the hell was with the Didymo!! someone should genetically engineer a bug that will eat that *hit.
