  1. personally i woudl rather see them shut it down than see people F*CK the areas up and abuse them for free! i random camp all the time.. for a day or two.. sometimes up too a week.. usually not for more than 1 night at a peticular spot tho.. i like too jump around.. mix it up.. makes it easy when i got a week or more booked solid down south guiding... but would be happy too stay and pay at a campsite if i had too ...knowing that this stuff wont happen anymore......
  2. that might jsut be the ticket dude!!! holler at a few oldschool highschool friends and hav ea few raves maybe too! now this is the ticket. anyone know a good prinitng companty? that can make me up 1000 signs? also anyone wana split gas and go on a 5 day fishin/posting adventure? jj......
  3. higher up im sure she wasnt affected too much dude! the places i crossed both of them was on teh 2 down by highriver....
  4. ive picked it up at wholesale and fishtales before.. dosnt last long! usually buy the stuff out!!!!!!! deadly for nymphs!!!!!!
  5. lmao!!!! imainge "whats up dudes!!! nice crib yall got.... yall are out of beer tho.... enjoy your stay and take care!~"
  6. little late but....skate the stones dude! keep in mind they skate away from teh shore..... foamies are my fav. dead drifting em over risers can be good too
  7. its a fast action rod with a tip flex! sick stick!!!!!!! almost as good as the opti... for half teh price!!!!!!
  8. and it will continue after dude... we need this rain and cool weather too keep flows up and temps down.. woudl rather have a few days break form teh stones (wich will be egg laying tonight anyway) and not have dead fish in late august due too warm water...... rainy june or july means dope late summer and fall! this is a GREAT thing for all of our rivers! hope we get more nextweek!
  9. they drive me nuts.. people are f*cked.. i dotn understand the mentality with teh whole "our spot" for teh year....... if i was a little more vigalint i would go torch em all..... but i dont need teh hassle from the law afterword!!! seriously people need too realize they are pissing most of us off with the "move out for teh season" mentality.. were is the respect for everyone else who uses these places too camp for A WEEKEND.. wish we coudl get a new law taht give people a 3 day un occupied deal before they get ticketed (daily ) ideally until the stuff is moved.... would bring in a ton of extra cash for enforcement too!!!!
  10. fished teh bow all day today.. she dropped from yesterday 1-2 feet of vis and bottle green! she aint in teh grass but shes up too teh banks tahts forsure.. nymphs and streamers produced fish!!!!!!!! jauns stones leeches sculpin and minnows were the ticket!!!!!!!!!!

    June Pics

    sick pics dude and goodluck on them big lake broons!!!!
  12. go look contact a few companies and ask for grain windows.. there are alot of rods with slightly different windows.... overlining can help a "poor" caster feel the load better but its not going too turn one into a pro..... just help some.. and with some rods witha highwer window they will need a higher line weight than marked on teh rod.... ive seen some older softer sticks too cast better underlined.... more so glass rods... but the biggest thing i think is who is casting teh rod... bowcane and kfisher made some deadly points too!
  13. yall nailed it.. have had many clients up here fishing for bulls tellin me about not being allowed too fish for them there... basically they ar elooking for dudes with 8wt sink tips and big flies moving fast and hitting larger pools only.. its a weird f*cking rule..... and is hard too understand....... but it is what it is .......
  14. lmao u said it hydro...... the rubber worm catches some fish but dosnt bring em in by the 100s daily i can promise u that.. ive seen people fish them on the bow and do alright.. usually with a centre pin...... fish eat dew worms.. specially after a rain..... pink rabbit strip flies work too... as worm patterns.... no magic whatsoever...... just mimics a food source..... steelheaders and otehr people fish htem worms tons.. mainly after a rain... and it works..... go figure
  15. its pretty sketchy dude. there are so many taper designs more than one type of graphit used and some are blends too make rods weight and flex different. it allso determins the responsiveness of the rod. so as teh sport progresses to does the rods and the "grain windows" it can be hard too do te research and get streaight answers from some manufacturers on line and rod grainage! best bet is too listen too someone at your local flyshop or pick up a fe cheap lines and experiment for youself!
  16. overlining your rod will allow you too feel the rods load more easily.. the rod flexs more.. however the rod does respond much slower the higher your overline your rod. many fast actoin rods do cast better overlined specially for less experienced casters because u can feel to rods load more easily. in my past experience many people do well with weight forward lines when u want too "shoot" you line farther for a longer cast soa double taper on your 6 wt would prefent you from shooting line easier.... ina weight forward line the "shooting head" or "weight forwrd part" does have all the weight in it too properly load your rods.. it can be a good reason why you cannot toss bombs with only 10 feet or line out versus the full 30.. lots of specialty lines have more advanced tapers too turn over rigs easier but the cheaper solution would be too buy a cheap 30 doller line in a line size heavier.... then get use to the feel of a rod loading and inprove you casting mechanics then look towards getting a "fancy" line

    2nd Rod

    im 100% with russ on this one.. i like the longer rods! i have a 8'8" 3wt loop that ive bin diggin.. can crush fish on te dry on te bow and fish any smaller stream no problemo! and if i want too do alittle highsticking or fish lakes wer ei need a little more distance the longer rod will be deadly!!!!!! there ar ea ton of great 3wts out there.. check out a few flyshops demo some and find what u dig! then buy it!
  18. sick fish holmes snuck out and slayed a few after u left! best was about 25!!! STREAMERS all the way!!! river murks up and they start to eat the babies again!!! u need a better tape tho meng your net gap is only 23 wide!
  19. nice set of pics dude!
  20. when u only see backs they are eating dorsals dude! sticking te nose out they are sucking back adults usually.. just had a epic day on teh crow fishing only too fish like u saw! pmds (yellow ones) peds(tany yellow ones) bwos(green ones) mahogany duns(brown ones) caddis pupae and caddis adults(brown or tan moths micro) were the ticket.. get a book on bug id and study it dude! get the flies that look like bugs no goofy or cool attractors..... spend a little less time tossing flies and look at teh water.. check back eddies things, along the rivers edge, rocks and logs things like that.. match the hatch the best you can.. tippet size is key too.. having no drag on your fly also is a must... getting it right in the fishes feeding lane(within a inch or two sometimes) is tops....... most fish were tough and didnt take the first fly but 1 or 2 good drifts and i was on too one of the next bugs i identified befor i began casting.... all of them sucked my fly back no problemo once i got all of that right! fishing a adult(dry) with a emerger(unweighted nymph) 2 feet behing can be deadly too! dont get frustrated dude thems fish arnt easy when they are keyed into specific bugs.. odds are most of the fish in teh pod were eating different stuff too...dont give the fish too much credit they are not genuis.. BUT when they only want chicken wings dont toss a drumbstick, apple or orange at em! there is alot too the equation but they all will eat your bug if its the right bug presented propper.. hope that helps and tightlines!
