i like my hyde pro series! clacks row a little nicer but the storage in hydes and add ons are awsome! never rowed a lavro! might halfto give one a go one day! fishrights are nice boats too! do some research and find wich u like best.. there are a few discussions from years past on this subject too so do a search on teh board!

dude could u get me one of these boxes when u make your way over here?????? would be deadly for traditional salmonflies!

jeebus what a goofball! musnt have figured that the gravel would have slipped and the current would push..... him into the hole! that sucks for the fish and taht dude!

nice feesh bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats on finally sticking one!!!!! only a few days till i track ya down!!!!!

sick fish dude! i gotta rock on up there again soon!!!!

what is wrong with loop? its a rod that is finally carried in town and people are diggin them.. they are top notch in any price range they sell and definetly compare and out perform alot of the other rods out there... mad because too some your brand isnt there favorite? the hardy demon is nice but the tip section is a big weakpoint.. ive heard of over a dozen rods sold so far that have busted in teh first few trips.. sage flight has cheap components, loomis has a few stick that are not too bad in teh higher range but most of them are a more traditional flex from what i have seen... i like one or two stick out of each rod maker because i like a feel too em! but hands down loop in my eyes rocks all else! they were the only manufacturer i wanted too rep! and im stoked a flyshop finally picked em up!!!!!!!! some people like sage. loomis, tfo etc.. but they obviously havnt stepped up n posted so why give a f*ck what others think? have u cast any loops? they are the worlds best kept secret!

schweet pics dude! looks like yall ahd fuN! i found a fe puffballs this weekend as big as a soccerball! trippy!!!!

havnt seen a stellar jay since highschool in the cariboo! thanks for that dude!!!!!!!!! we useto feed em catfood in elementary n try too get em with fishing nets!!! we got a few!! then let em go in fear of being pecked!!!

check ou tthe loop adventure series dude 9' 4wt 4 piece 200 dolla ish! deadly stick for the price! swing by southbow and give it a cast!

schweet!! i could sit there for weeks ide think!!! thanks for posting!

i will agree with ya scandi and disagree on the dark sillouette! only because!!!..... when she is overcast and the nightsky is a lighter color! i find darker silouettes are much better! with a black fly on a white/grey sky... but!!!! on a clear sky a white fly will reflect light and show up better!!! i find this can be deadly specially when fishing smaller caddis or mayflies after dark!!! its also what i go with when i fish streamers too!!! like conor said they do see something.. how well they see it that is hard too say!!! ive had some deadly nights fishing caddis pupae and boatman aswell slowly stripped through the frogwater! i had a client who was a hardcore bass after dark dude and also a writer... i got his book! and one thing he pointed out in his book and while b.s'in on the river with bass and i think it can be the same for trout (from what ive seen) is when the sun has set and there is no light it takes roughly half hour for fishes eyes too turn from cone(color)vision too rod vision(black n white)(sorry if i got this ass backwards with teh terms) so you can see a evening rise almsot dye off... but still tons of bugs on teh water.. i guess our eyes also do something similar.. but once the eyes adjust its back on! SO when u see the evening rise taper off! kick it for a bit and waite for the fish too settle back in and they usually start too feed hard again once there eyes adjust! if the air temps stay up and teh bug stay on the water!!! same with streamers.. i find darker or lighter flies can work better depending on the night sky, moonlight and water vis! a really good color afterdark wich i think give a good sillouette and reflects light all at teh same time can be purple and kingfisher blue!!!! these were the only 2 bass popper colors my client mainly fished when the lights were out!! as for right now i still think most of the evening rise is done with.. ive seen a few good nights were the caddis stayed out till after midnight and the fish kept eating them but most nights it tapers off quick and streamers are the top fly! when ive bin dryfly fishing i havnt worried about how hard my presentation is more so sticking with matching the egglayers and fishing a good caddis imitation on the deaddrift.. if i can still locate risers!

yep like brad said or hit up fishtales flyshop and htey can send it on its way for ya!!! u should have no problem getting a piece!

sick fish dude!

hey dude spey casting can be done single or double handed.. i believe that is what jayhad was refering too! its a sick stick and cant be beat for the price they are at that is forsure! i would stick with the 6wt line for a multi purpose line but the 5 might suite you better if you havnt tossed a few lines with it!

siiiiick dude! nicely done! one day i will get out east!!

dope shots dude! looks like a fun trip! how did the circle hook dealio work out for ya?

sick fish dude! thanks for sharing the adventure!

sick shots dude! thanks for posting!

they are a bunch of big dum stockies.. tah hell with em! they will probably die off in a year or two anyway then its all over!

that is a trip! makes sence tho! gotta love bio magnification!

couple bends then switch! regardless of the fish.... equal chance at equal water.. the switch when u get a fish can suck.... for me sometimes... but i like the 3 good riffle run pool tailout deal! or what i like most.. do a short float and crush every square foot on foot!

its bin streamer time for me as of late.. now that the afterdark stone egglaying has stopped they dont really have big bugs too chase on top!

thats for the political correctness! i wont be using that term no more! time too be prizopper dude!

fishing them escapees eh! didnt humble have a vid up lastyear?
