^^^ I would love to.... you don't happen to be a guide up there, do you? :)
One of my friends (Donkey Punch here on TGR, but I don't think he posts much anymore) lives over in ID not too far away from you and we've been talking about getting a weekend trip together. If that happens, I can let you know so we can all meet up somewhere close.
For sure! Got a hankering for some of them carps. Let's do it!Quote:

Went to Boxwood for a bachelor party. Stupid fun. By the end of the day, my arm was cramping up so bad I could barely hold on to the rod.

it had been too long since I'd had a really good day of catching. Went for a long walk and got into some eager cutties that hadn't seen a fly in a few months.

Used to be a guide but been outta that business for 12 years or so. Know some outfitters if you want to go that route. Happy to fish with you either way if you come up.Quote:

I don't think I can mimic the seeds (they are smaller than any bead) and various baits aren't exactly killin' it.
I hooked one yesterday on sweet corn and red worm and it managed to get off the line while I screwed around with my net. I feel like the school is wise to my corn now. They are smart fish and a worthy target imho. Suggestions?
what do the seeds look like? i bet you could just wrap some similar color dubbing around a hook.

never had much luck hatch matchin em
a small damsel or ant pattern
or throw to tailing fish
When i 1st started the poopfish addiction someone who does it a bit told me
"throw to less fish"
seems counter productive but the more i do it the more sense it makes.

Packed the van up and left last Friday for my yearly summer migration north to better biking and (usually) cooler weather.
I drove a couple of hours past the sun doing this
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/412/1...5ea639c4_b.jpg
I parked for the night and slept next to what some call "Buck Nasty Brown" town.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/533/1...fd480f1d_b.jpg
Got up early to a really good PMD hatch but I couldn't find anything in my fly box that they wanted. I got sick of that after about an hour and once the sun hit the water I chopped my leader back and threw on something big and foamy. That worked.
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/368/1...057070da_b.jpg
After a couple of hours of really good hopper fishing I packed up and continued my drive. 2 hours later the engine in the van blew and my day turned to shit. That may have been the most expensive few hours of fishing I've ever done.

Diggin' the North stoke, HFB. Great shots.
That net on Glacier Creek is retarded. Or super sweet. Depends on who you are.
Not knocking your photos. They're great. I'm just saying, there's a whole other world out there.
I'm going out with guides- and I don't fish- so it's not like I'm the one making the decision on where we go. Besides, the clients were SUPER stoked since they caught 20+ fish before lunch.Quote:

Smmokan - this is why I was suggesting pics up there. If you have a real camera and know how to use it...
Found some nice fish in the Beartooths a few weeks ago:

Yep, we're coming up for sure next week... can't wait to get out. I'll shoot you another PM over the weekend to try to figure some things out.Quote:

so I bought a new 7wt rig, met him early on a Saturday,
and my first smallie on the fly, not quite a 20"er....downhill from there.
