I think it fell off my bag as I crossed a fence near Pine Top... I loved that little box, let me know if you come across it
-
spent 1 hour looking last night, nothing... I guess someone now has a nice pair of sunglasses. If I missed them and someone find them I would be over the moon. fingers crossed
-
Went out for a couple of hours last night, came back without my sunglasses, must have slipped out of my pocket. I’m gutted.
they weren’t even polarised but my wife gave them to me and i really like them. I might be able to go back tonight, but in case anyone finds them that would be fantastic.
fingers crossed

Thanks, I’m glad i’m not getting too crazy. But i’m annoyed that the people who are supposed to help implement the regulations weren’t supportive nor helpful.

This morning i was in Weaselhead, and a guy was fishing just upstream of the bridge. I checked the regs, sure enough, it says from 22 to Glenmore opens June 16. Quick call to report-a-poacher and the lady on the phone just kept telling me the Elbow is opened. I tried to tell her 3 times it was upstream from the reservoir and the regs seemed to say it wasn’t open. To which she replied, “google it, the elbow opened April 1st” and “the reservoir is open and the Elbow is open from the reservoir”. At the end she didn’t take my report.
am I losing it and i can’t read the regs?

Sorry. Poor phrasing. I'm looking more for locations and timing. Timing more so. I checked out Weed Lake and Langdon Res last fall, but I think maybe it was a bit late in the year. Considering the extent they have spread I didn't figure it would be hard to find a few, but so far no luck.
Dewitt pond is riddled with them, mostly tiny. If you can face the place. Haven’t quite figured how to interest them though, this one was on a size 14 emerger. i’m tempted to get back to try and cull some.

That's handy to be able to post pictures too

Thanks, i didn't think of vinegar, sure is less scary to use on the waders (and net).
-
Thanks, i'll have a look.
Should i really clean flies with this too? It's likely they don't carry mud or residues and that would be quite a lot to clean up...

I'm going fishing in Oregon next week and want to make sure my gear is well clean after being used in the Bow watershed.
I have 2 questions:
- what is a reliable way of cleaning boots and waders that is both safe for the gear and gets rid of all risk of contamination. I keep reading conflicting info, soap and rinsing is not enough, bleaching is too strong...
- do i need to clean lines and flies? If so what's the recommended method out there?
Thanks

Very sweet, thanks for sharing

Nice. I've been looking for options as my desk always ends up a mess. Thanks for the tip

Swinging wets and flies can be deadly, maybe not as productive than dead drift but certainly productive.
You could go all the way to fish traditional wer flies and work on the swinging.
Another way to fish nymphs dead drift is to attached them below a nice fat dry (hopper or big stimulator) instead of a bobber. Not the perfect official way to get your nymph low but a good way of practicing drag control plus the benefit of fishing 2 flies at once.

Fun while it lasted. The numbers dont show recovery in native species though, but maybe could have been extended a couple years more to see a longer term impact?

Picked up a Fishpond Vaquero Vest this spring. Quite like it, reminds me of my Old Fison Vest. lots of pockets and room plus I can carry it for the day without sore shoulders.
I've been using a Filson strap vest for 2 seasons and love it. It's not as big as big as a backpack or my old Brady bag but it forces me to carry only the essential and i find there's just enough pockets for me for a day on a creek. I used to take my old Brady shoulder bag when i didn't want to take a full backpack but somehow after a few hours i always got a really sore back by having the weight just on one side and had to use something else.

I was at Waiparous last week end, pretty depressing... Tons of tracks across the creek, and had 2 guys cutting our path in their motorbikes and casually going across the creek to continue on their trail. Got pictures of them but there's not much to show... It's a gong show out there.
-
Thanks for the details.
-
Wow! Scary.
You must be glad you didn't do a "just one more cast" before you hit that road...
-
WTF! That's sick. Unfortunately it might happen too often. And not often is already too often at that scale.
