  1. Anybody over at fish tales are very helpful, also Steve or josh are very helpful as well and they recently took over west winds fly shop just off southland Dr in the se.
  2. Stopped by and took a test cast of this impact rod and actually I have to say tfo has stepped up a little decent looking rod better hardware used, burl cork handle and casting it actually had a good amount of power.
  3. The fishcat 9ir is a superb pontoon boat perfect size, stability, and price isn't too bad
  4. Perception is one of the best. I have run it since its release in late 2013 and have to comment on the cracking that I have not witnessed but I clean and treat my fly line on a regular basis which should be done like anything else, it only takes 5-10 mins! If you wash your car regularly why not your fly line. Only thing about the new rio lines I have a hard time believing is the "self lubricating " which rio boosts about perception.
  5. Well said silverdoctor many guys on here I'm sure if they have the time would not mind. That's how I got going a nice guy I met on the river gave me a crash course and well now he's a good fishing buddy.
  6. You are right calling them is satisfying.... I have had the pleasure of watching the rap in a boat watching guys then swooping in and ticketing them plus I guess to take their gear too which was quite interesting to watch last year!
  7. tl;dr Fly tying exists for a reasoN ^^^you have that right lol^^^ So from the responses I'm not crazy I was worried for a little while ha you guys have brought some good points though I keep for getting to check my guides when I was out good explanation for some casts where I've stood puzzled for a moment... See I have been fly fishing for several years now but never went out during winter also partly no fishing to be had while in the patch. I'm definitely going to be out there this weekend
  8. I agree with the changes that could be but I think also a big problem is many actually don't know the regs for the bow see a lot of guys spin casting with bait and guys fishing fish creek during closure so maybe high pressure areas they should add in signage for these individuals. Thank you for posting this some good info on there.
  9. When it comes to ice I try to stay out of the water but if all is looking good I'll wade out and just keep a close eye I'm sure it's not fun catching a ride from a ice slab. Most days I've been out its been above 4 but that's why I ask to see if I'm just crazy or others are out too
  10. Lol yeah but that water is something fierce when wading on a cold day but that's a good start for temp at plus five a little more bug activity for midge atleast
  11. Lol nice blog some funny little definitions that have me thinking where I may fall in
  12. I got into the switch rods 6wt to start off with I was using rio switch chucker which is an amazing line but I did however find that using rio mow tips helped casting as the head on the line is 25 feet and with skagit casting they say it should be 3x the rod length correct me if I'm wrong... But usually I have been using either the 10 foot mow that is 5 feet float and 5 feet of either t-8 or t-11 works for me but maybe someone may correct me and I learn something even better.
  13. Thank you for this always nice to have a local guy to support which we are lacking here I will be sure to do what I can to support him.
  14. Hi this has probably been covered and do apologize if it has. When do you draw the line when fishing in the winter temp wise like just above 0 or do you wait a couple days of good plus weather? I'm not sure how to post pics but last good Chinook we had I caught a decent size around 15" bull trout by glen more bridge and it was a mild day and he took the reese pieces San juan. What thoughts do you guys have?
  15. Wow some interesting little inventions I hope more are posted and people don't mind another using their ideas!
