monger

Some fine looking browns. Looks like you had a great year. Thanks for sharing your adventures

I think I could get lost there for a month or two

Go to Wholesale sports and buy a Lansky sharpening system with stones and rods that hold a consistent angle for you. Pretty easy to use and does a great job

There is only about 300 seats....must be full

Sounds like "Eye candy" is getting old and crotchity I will look elsewhere for your big silver slabs

South of Golden there may be a lake with fish in it

Sorry to hear of your friend's passing Lornce. Good to hear he was generous with his experience and skills in serving others. Hopefully others can continue to pay it forward on his behalf

Good show Lornce. I expect to see you in a tie on the water next spring!

Anybody can float down the middle of the river without ever touching the oars and have a couple of dudes dangling bobbers and worms. Some guys actually row their clients to the good spots, hold the boat, stalk fish....teach their clients how to be better anglers. Might want to find those guys. Some good points Don.

Thanks for sharing your pics. Cool to see the river monster and the teddy bear in the bushes

Can't help with your ID...but your post reminds me that my first rod was one of those yellow Fenwicks. They were a little "slower" than today's broomstick rods.

I fish quite a bit in strong winds. A couple of buddies have pontoon boats that have retired/sold them due the difficulties associated with the wind and now exclusively use their Fish Cat 4 V-tubes. I would imagine a raft would be even worse in the wind. So I guess it just depends on where you want to fish and how often/strong the wind blows on average.

Thanks for sharing your great photos. So much to see when we wander near the water

It's winter....we need some pics to get through the cold spell....who is next to share some photos? Lets see some of the awesome fish that everyone else enjoyed this year

Buddy drove in last year. They didn't see any Bulls, but he said pools were full of whitefish

Brent, I like how fat girls dance in the water. With this nice winter there could be some epic fishing next year. Hunt for double digit pigs will be on

FIRST STEELHEAD more would follow

It's because all us hunters are ball scratching jerks who will do anything to out-compete the next guy to get the big trophy. Or maybe some of us don't fit that profile and just enjoy getting out with friends and family and feel blessed when we get to harvest something.

I use Royal Canin for my German Shorthaired Pointer. Not much waste produced and good health at age 10+. Smart, athletic dogs that need to run. I would imagine Weimaraners are similar. I hear they can be a little protective of master/home though. If you get a working dog, invest the time to let it exercise.

i tried some lightweight Orvis Encounter boots last year......they blew up after a couple months. I think the box they came in was better quality

Good show lads. Always fun at the Smorg creek.

You mean the foxes (guides) watching the hen house isn't the best plan for protecting the resource?????? Years of inflating rod days, then selling them for big profit....and these are the guys looking out for the fish??? (I guess looking out for the wallet is more appropriate) When "the few" benefit from a public resource, and then have the power to further restrict public access to the resource, there is a huge problem. Perhaps ZERO guide days would decrease the excessive pressure on the great streams that comes from all the guiding/advertising/promoting/"inflating". Zero guides wouldn't hurt my feelings at all

We could only dream
