Rick just add 24 to each draw to give the others a fighting chance
I'm just donating to this great cause and I'm not in it for the prizes(they are a very nice bonus) so just add 10 to each draw instead of the 25
I used my 7'6 3wt with a reel that is a 2/3 3.91 oz 2.75 diameter on the Crow and other smaller rivers and creeks and the only time I met my backing was when a 27" Bull took my dry on the Highwood. All other times the reel handled the fish without issue. The 3/4 is 4.16oz with a 3.00 diameter so really the extra few oz's won't be to bad.
I love the balance of my setup and the reel was $300.00 and worth every nickle.

After Fly Fishing it would have to be photography and traveling.
Now when all three collide then that is when I am at my happiest.
BobLoblaw you're not alone with the flower pics.
Tongariro River Rainbow NZ
I have the Simms Riversheds and for the money I could not be more happy with these boots. They have great ankle support and are super comfy, they don't shrink and I find the grip is awesome.
But like Headscan was saying you should upgrade the laces.
My 09 started off with a dream trip to NZ. I never had the chance to hit the South Island but I did get in a couple great days on the North Island.
I fished the Tongariro River for two days unguided and did rather well then on the last day we hit a small hidden gem that produced some sweet Rainbows.
Here is a pic of my most Memorable fish from that trip.
I was waiting for LoyalEddie to post some pics of the Streamwatch cake he bid on and won in the auction.
After many attempts to set a date to deliver the cake we managed to work out a day and what kind of cake he wanted.
So Loyal being the smart ass he is tried to get me with a tough cake to bake a German Chocolate Cake. Well he really should try harder as I knocked it out from scratch and it kicked ass.
Thanks again to Loyaleddie for donating to such a good cause.
