2020 FISH SQUEEZING EXTRAVAGANZA!!

luckily it was a cheap rod. Confirms my theory that it doesn't make sense to fish nice rods, they just get fucked up. I picked up a replacement Echo something or other that isn't half bad for $140 at the local fly shop and kept on fishing. Hopefully Reddington will warranty this chewed up one.

I’ve been rowing their boats for 8 years. Nothing competes! Of one of you guys is in the market, buy it.

Been squeezing a lot of fish close to home this year. With COVID, no out of state trips. Need to post more stoke here after coming to enjoy everyone else's stuff.

Lexi, broke that darn S4 6wt tip again two weeks ago...off to Scott again. That rod has been a good companion the last almost 10 years?

Always love to see Hogs out there. Johnny was my daughter's coach for winter sports club and gave me some work helping put the finishing touches on those boats while I was between gigs. Bomber units.

That’s a pretty bold statement, my 25 year old Hyde might give you a run for your money. We are at 86 days on the water and counting this summer alone.

This one is for the people who suck all the fun out of fishing every chance they get, like our own birdfucker.

What's the backstory behind this birdfucker dude?

He’s better than you. That’s all you need to know.

Just a few years back we woulda said that he's probably retarded.
But I can't say that now.
Did a float on Friday, and here's some fish Mrs. Plug caught:

Be prepared for long lead times. Things are pretty backed up at Redington repairs due to the Covid; I've been waiting about 2 months for just a couple of new tip sections.

Probably enough hands on this poor fishhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...490bb4aaa5.jpg

Hot damn this has gotta be the best page of the year!! Stripers, cutties, steelies, kid stoke, bc, FKNA!

Gretch that was ten years ago? Holy shit!

Props to Orvis UK, i broke a hydros in mid April and had a brand new recon in three weeks. Miss my hydros though, it seemed to catch more fish 😏

Yep! August of 2010. Man, that was a great trip. The local mags really came together for that one and I much appreciated the float. Some great bows in that canyon!

Was that the Big Hole meet up? Been that long?

Stuck a decent one on the hopper today. Thunder Thighs ftw.
