Gratuitous Fish and River Photos

[MTLabrador]

This year I decided that I needed to fish a lot more than I have in the last few years. So far that goal has been a success, especially when my dad has tagged along.

First year of the last 20 I haven’t been in Alaska by now. I think I’ll like being retired…. Sure enjoy your pics

What’s your normal set up?

What’s your normal set up?

Most of the productive days have been nymphing. 6 wt Sage for the bigger rivers and I have a 3 wt for the smaller stuff. Nothing really wants to chase a streamer yet.

Part of me really wants a dedicated 5 weight for big river nymphs and dries so I can use my 6 for streamers more often.

I love spring fishing in the west. Well done.

Have a new 5 wt on order. Hope it's ready in time for hoppers!

I was driving to work this morning here in Ohio daydreaming of getting back on a trout stream. You are not helping!

So what you’re saying is I definitely need a new rod?

Is it shipping from another planet?

There's always a reason to buy a new rod

Buddy is making me a 7'9" bamboo 5 wt. The blanks were backordered until this last week. He should be able to make it in short order once they arrive from the the blank builders.

The seat on my 6 weight reel has been giving me problems and it’s under warranty, so if I send it in I’ll have to get a new rod now…

It’s scary how easy that is to rationalize.

It’s scary how easy that is to rationalize important to realize how critical this is to domestic tranquility.

I offered to build him one. Free. And deliver it to the river.

Thank you! Moving out west and want i to get back into fly fishing so some confirmation on rod setup was what I was looking for.
