I'm new to the game, but I have a 10-12wt reel on my 8wt spey rod. You need extra room for big shooting heads

I feel your pain... It's hard for ladies to share their husbands with a fishing rod. It seems like adventure time is limited so we keep going back to what we know...this is the year to break out! You have permission to go somewhere completely new and find a new treasure complete with willing Cutts. I think I have to go find some Chrome this year

I thought #9 was best eye candy in gortex. You need to pm some of your followers to get your votes up

I'd never caught one before today on a wooly bugger. These spey rod things catch everything...

How often do you get whitefish swinging streamers?

I think you should wait until about May 15

Iceland disinfection is law: In order to protect the quality of its salmon fishery, Iceland employs a number of protective measures. The country has remained relatively free of freshwater diseases and maintains a strict disinfection policy towards tackle and waders imported by visiting anglers. This is detailed in the "Freshwater Fisheries Law" of 2006, prohibiting the use of fishing equipment which has been used for angling abroad, unless the equipment has been disinfected according to the guidelines listed below.

Good show Gary. I was below you a ways and fooled some more fish with the spey rod. One rainbow I got was getting really dirty. The spring sex party is coming soon....

Very nice. Doesn't look like he has been caught recently. Great pic

Streamer eating river Esox

Good job Steve. Beautiful day. I got one for Clive

leech fishing

They are nice for using 25ft leaders when lake fishing

Well I tried some Snap-Ts today. It wasn't too painful. More trout were playing and then something bad happened to my fly. Very healthy fish My buddy got another burbot on the worm today as well.

OK, thanks for the tip. I'm sure the first (first 50) try won't be pretty

July 6 to July 15 is a very scary time to be on the river....your wrist might get sore Xsquared

Eventually wrestling something big and chrome is the plan. I haven't the first clue where to start, but I'm willing to learn.

I was throwing a 550 Skagit head plus about 12ft of sinking line (I just cut up an old 6wt full sink type IV line). I'm pretty sure I wasn't following protocol, but the fish didn't know it was a hack holding the rod. Now its time to start experimenting with flies I guess. Looking forward to the adventure.

So I took my new 13ft rod out for its maiden voyage today. I watched a few youtube videos on casting and figured I go make an azz of myself. With a pretty good wind blowing upstream I was performing some kind of variation of the double spey. Well low and behold I caught a fish, then another and another. Best one was nice buck Brown around 23". He was stocky and dark, but jumped about 6 times. Feels pretty weird on a 13ft rod. Nice start to the spey game. I'll have to try the other side of the river next time to try the snap-t cast. Interesting to try something new...and a refreshing change from hucking worms.

Serious fish eating dries make my day

The river east of Highway 2?

Good to hear you got some fat fish Clive. We should have some fish over 20 this year I guess. We probably really need an abundance of scuds to get some serious growth. The decreases in stocking should have helped the situation thus far, but I agree a few less fish stocked this year could only be a positive. The extra fish could be a gift to the meat crowd on the lake up the road. Cheers, Rob

So for the last 3 years 30,000 triploids have been added and essentially no fish removed. Growth rates are not great... Maybe this year the stocking rate should be drastically reduced to give the invertebrates a chance to increase. There is already 90,000+ fish there so I don't think we need anymore to catch. We just need some more feed in the lake.

Good show....I'm not jealous at all
