Perfect, I am heading out to BC on the 19th and just got a new 8wt reel to match an 8wt rod I bought earlier this summer.
Definitely spending a day chasing bulls either on the wigwam or Elk.
-
I have seen some bulls before but that is definitely on the higher end of a bulls post.
Thanks for sharing.
BC or alberta bulls?

i'm thinking of the V6 ecodiesel, but the cherokee sure isn't on the cheap side!
Nope they really aren't. Blew me away how pricey but I will be honest more features on the inside then I need or initially wanted but I am enjoying some of them for sure.
They did a great job on the interior and the Air ride suspension is a nice touch.
I still haven't done much back country stuff with it yet but will here shortly.

I usually have two different sizes of thing-a-ma-bobbers. You are right though Lornce even the small one takes a bit to take under.

Wow! The timing the get the deer mid jump is very impressive.
I really enjoyed the rest of the photos as well, thank you for sharing.

Jeep with V6 ecodiesel, not huge on the horsepower but pretty amazing amounts of ft-lb of torque. Supposedly have some pretty good mileage with it as well and I know as I was just there lots of them are offering the no charge diesel option which was a $5000 touch when I bought mine. Not saying Jeep is the only option just giving you the information I can.
Other thing to look at is the transmission as the gearing will affect the towing as well as the torque output of the engine.

There are a couple really good discussions on this forum regarding Nymph setups.
Each person does have their own little tweeks they like which are neither right or wrong.
I would recommend searching around here a bit.

Cool video, tough to tell but that looks like a pretty thick/fat cutty. Maybe it is true and the camera does add pounds.
-
Wow, that is quiet the catch.

As in Coronel Klink?
-
That is a great few days you had there, glad to hear you got it all figured out.
Thanks for posting.

Angler, I previously had a 2006 Nissan Xterra and kept it for 8 years so I am using that as my comparison starting point. The vehicle was great and I never had an issue at all. I ended up going with the Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014, definitely a few more creature comforts that I don't care about but I like the look of it and the Quadra lift air suspension system does a nice job of giving a guy some on road and off road versatility due to the height adjustment from the air ride suspension. Definitely a pricey unit but other then that pretty happy.
With that being said my parents just bought a 2014 Pathfinder and are also very pleased with it. I drove it and found it to be a great vehicle in comparison to my new Jeep. A few differences although nothing deal breaking just different markets. Bit less jam then my Jeep as I went with the V8 Hemi option (hello fast, goodbye fuel). Also not quite as many creature comforts and also not quite the robustness offered in the off-road system such as multiple terrain modes and the Quadra lift system mentioned above. I still feel it would be able to handle the backcountry quite well though and is a great vehicle for more then a few pennies less then the Jeep.
Let me know if you have any other specific questions.

Wow on all fronts, I especially enjoy the stargazes they look great.
Are they tough to look after? I would like to plant some of those in with my roses for next summer.

In my industry a plaque like that would earn a fella a promotion, definitely a good skill set to have. Saving pennies makes dollars.

My dad just bought a 9" 6wt BVK with matching reel and he loves it. I have it a few casts and I was pretty impressed with it.
Definitely don't see a problem with the TFO's at all.

Awesome looking fish.
Looks pretty darn scenic up there as well.
-
Haha, tough to call those little guys strawberries but true story.

That is an awesome story.
Thank you for sharing.

I agree with bigdirty, loving this album so far. Seeing the lightning pics made me think of this nice one we captured on the last trip to the field and though I would toss it in the mix.

Good tips guys, thanks for sharing.
I was wondering the same.

Looks like someone is having a terrible time this summer. I hope your arm and wrist are okay from all the awesome fish you are catching.
Thanks for posting.

Welcome, sounds pretty similar to my first go on the bow, I got lucky with a prince nymph and a really ugly mend.
As Hawg said, welcome to your new addiction.
