  1. interesting comment on the red lens. I know from experience that the bright light did attract almost every dam bug within inches of my eyes last time I fished after dark. Does it really make a big difference or just slightly?

  2. Rickr awesome post dude. You echo the thoughts of many of us 1st year guys. I too have many thanks to everyone on this board especially BigBadBrent, Toolman, and Bhurt for showing me a thing or two on the river. It is priceless and I am humbled to get to fish beside some of these guys.

     

    The nymphing clinic was an awesome start so many thanks to Max/Toolman for doing this.

     

    But.......I still want to catch a brown over 20" before the ice hits!!! (That's my personal goal before years end)

  3. I had the same thing what happened to Salty the other day to me as well. I set the hook and after a few seconds the fish was off. It was a quality fly I purchased at a fav fly shop and I pinched the barb with small non serrated pliers. I was back in the same shop the next day talking and he mentioned it could have been a really hard take and has heard that before so he wasn't surprised. It only happened once so I'm not to concerned but Salty you make mention to several hooks? If you have always pinched your barbs the same and all of a sudden you are getting lots of break-offs then is it possible you have a bad bunch of hooks from the manufacture?
