I have the Echo SR 71010 seven weight rod I inherited from a family member. I use it almost exclusively for two hand casting. But do cast single hand from time to time. This rod performs well for me with an appropriate weight Commando head single & two handed as well as the usual Skagit heads. I...

Can you go to a nearby fly shop and see if they have any fly lines you can try out ? Don’t most good fly shops have test lines for customers to try ?

Got no problem fishing with gear guys. In front, behind or along side. Only ones that it might not work with is guys pulling plugs. But id be willing to try it. Heck hand me a drift rod and I will join them. I just wish I could fish my fly as good over on that far bank that’s 8-10 feet deep with...

Nothing to complain about there. Nice papio. Especially for just a day or two being out. What flies worked for you ?

I seem to remember some on here reporting good catches of rezzie/searun out around the Kingston to PA and straights last summer ? Along with the incoming ocean fish. Didn’t see much of them around the north 9/8 areas until July into August ? But by then reports of all age class salmon were...

The “Fact” is there are a few anti fishing/hunting people in this state that want it shut down. Just look at those the governor has put on the wildlife commission. And then there is the same going on an across our nation. See the last issue of the CCA magazine. Great write up by Bill Shed. Do...

This is simply another in a long list of attempts by those who see themselves as Better/ smarter and Superior to everyone else. It’s happening on the hunting side also. Shutting down fishing & hunting to have a look but don’t touch for any outdoor experience.

Again I’d like to thank all the folks who put the time and effort to “Occupy “ and raise awareness so we “All” have this opportunity to enjoy one of our many Freedoms like standing knee deep in cold running water just to play with string and hook. Thanks.

How do Nexcast lines compare to Bridge lines ? Or is it just too much personal preference as it usually is with spey lines ? And do any of you all keep fishing your Rage line in the winter ? Have read that some do with lighter tips. Maybe not a bad idea with the low water we’re having now.

Bring your rods (in tubes) on board and put all your fly’s & lures in your checked bags with your reels, plier, knives, hook files, and anything sharp. Tabis work in the sand or if you have tough feet otherwise buy cheap sneakers or dive booties or flats shoes. my 2 cents worth.

Another reason to join CCA and support Hatchery Wild Co Exist. According to some of the guys at Snohomish/Skykomish facebook page they are cleaning Reiter and reorganizing with the Wallace hatchery (Wallace hatchery doing much better job lately in my opinion) on winter steelhead rearing. Makes...

Any fly shops up north here carry Nexcast ? And would this “Coastal” cast like a commando head ?

Then you have the so called restoration work on the lower Snohomish River which looks good driving by at 60 mph, just don’t look upriver at the apartments and hotels and developments for amazon & others. But boy the worthless politicians love to take credit for saving salmon. Just like they all...

This is Total Bull Shit and a Lie. They want complete control with almost all rivers shut down year round. Note: No spring bear hunts, no cougar hunts trying to shut down hatcheries its all about the Elites (wsc, others) shutting us Anglers out from rivers then saltwater. Fight this garbage at...
