Kudos to murray for coordinating the volunteers and to Superfly for supplying the wooly bugger materials for kids to tie.

last summer I picked up a pair of Simms riprap wading shoes. Wore them with neoprene socks. They were great. Only drawback is that they wont accept studs (despite what the salesman at the store said) However, the rubber is indeed grippy on the oldman slime, and they are good to walk the rocks and hillsides with.

ht foam body stones - uses the foam that soccer players (usually girls) tie up ponytails with. Tried it last summer - floats good on its own, but waterlogs after the first six fish. Gink it and it lasts at least a dozen. My daughter (37) likes them with legs. I haven't proven that it catches more fish. Oldman, with a PT dropper. I like them isn 12 to 16, but she wanted some BIG. these are #6.

Any connection to the oil wells in the area? I recall one very near gap falls and there are uncapped casings in the canyon below. Any body else recall the 'oil well hole'?

I also started on a 5/6 - 12 1/2 foot spey a few years ago ( mine is a Deer Creek) . fishtales were my go to guys. Got the line demo kit from them, and found what weight would working for me. However, I found that as I got better, I was throwing lighter lines - started with a 480 grn airflow skagit. then went to a 420. still a little heavy, but I now use the rod mostly for bigger streamers on the bow. Also found that skagit lines were much easier for me to learn on. Agree with the overwhelm thing. Lessons made all the difference. Lots of good spey guys on the board.

Whichever you chose, have fun with it.
