Heh, I liked Dibs green stick so much that I had to get my own. My guess is that he wants something in the 8wt range for throwing meat.Quote:

Yeah, that’s certainly part of it. The guy I worked for had a custom built rig that he made himself that he dragged behind a cat. It would spool out and tension woven wire and 2 strands of barbed wire, and had a pile driver on board to drive metal tee posts. I’d walk behind clipping the wire to the posts. Things went pretty quickly until we hit some solid rock sections. Didn’t quite make a mile on those days.Quote:

What are the dates everyone is going to be there?
Thinking about arriving on 4/20 and staying through the weekend, thoughts on that?

Harry and I will be carpooling down unless he chooses to stay longer than me, in which case we'll caravan.
I expect we'll pull in the evening of the 19th or early on the 20th.
I'm likely out on Saturday morning, the 22nd.
Got a flight on Monday.
I'm still laughing about living in La Barge...:fmicon:
I'm headed there the 15th, staying through the 23rd. My oldest son may come out with me the first weekend. I'm still holding out hope that my boat is ready by then.
I just checked the state regs. Book says pink bobbers and squirmy worms only allowed from dam to Red Creek and tenkara only from Red Creek to Swinging Bridge April 20-23.
perfect that was exactly my plan anywayQuote:

They’ll allow for plastic eggs only if they are from the injection molding factory in LaBarge.Quote:

Mr. Landia sent me his calculations for swinging dick to boat ratio and I think bringing your own vessel might be a good idea.Quote:

Also, since there will be so many boats around, I have a pair of Cataract Streamlite shafts for 10 ft oars that I'd like to let go for cheap. May or may not have blades, gotta check the shed.
I’m estimating we’ll have 22-24 people out there and 8 boats. There may be a few more coming but they’ll have water travel devices of their own.
I’ll probably make my famous fried rice one night, Lumpy is bringing along some elk burger so I’ll probably make burgers on the blackstone another night. I usually end up bringing way too much food and then eating dirt and beef jerky all weekend.
There is plenty of room for camping so bring a tent, a decent sleeping bag and a camp chair. If everyone brings a bundle of firewood we’ll be able to stave off cold morning temps and eat after dinner smores. I’ll have my (quiet Honda) generator so phone and electronics charging will be available.
Got word yesterday my boat has been built, it’s supposed to ship in the next couple days so I should have it next week.
Mike from Stealthcraft sent me some pics, it turned out pretty well.

Because Bobs new boat seats two in the bow, I’ll bring my steelhead plug rods and a couple Fish-On holders we can screw into the gunnel. That way we can back troll sardine wrapped Hot Shots and Kwikfish from the dam down to camp. Should I bring galvanized or painted sheet metal screws to attach rod holders?
So yeah, I’ll have the clack and an Outcast Striker if needed.
Congrats BobMc on your new boat!
I'm getting pretty stoked for this.

That boat is SWEET.
Congrats Bob.

Bob, boat looks great! Welcome to the club.
I’m really hoping to make this. It’s going to be somewhat week of, work dependent. Ideally head out Thursday night, float Friday, Saturday, and Sunday morning. But may just be a weekend deal. Are people hanging around Saturday/ Sunday?
Will bring a boat, lots of junk flies, and the really big bobbers
Stoked!

I'll be on the green on 4.20... but in labyrinth canyon, well downstream of trout. Anyone know whether it's worth bringing fishing gear for catfish/other warm water species?
yes pleaseQuote:

Any one else concerned about access?
Brown's Hole was always a dry safe spot along the outlaw trail but this year looks to be a bit different than the norm.
Tons of snow from Park chitty to Steamboat puts Boblandia right in the crosshairs...
It's looking like we should see a warm up next week with temps in the 50's, the long range forecast shows those temps persisting through 4/20 week/weekend. My only fear is Red Creek flowing, if the water is chocolate milk on the C we may have to do A or B laps.
One of my Taylor Flats neighbors has a weather station on his property, he has a webcam looking out at his property. They got another slug of snow last night but it had dried out before this latest snow.

Holy shit, that's cool.
Mighty hepful.
Everyone is encouraged to bring bananas, limes, and tequila to show good will to the neighbors.
Admin question:
How do I take a shit at Boblandia ?
I know, it’s gross. But with 25 people or so we should have some guidelines.
There is a two hole nicely maintained shitter down at the bridge. It usually is equipped with toilet paper but I carry some with me just in case. The bridge is about a two minute drive from my property.
It’s also where we’ll likely launch in the mornings if Red Creek isn’t flowing.

Can’t miss the crapper, it’s right next to the pay phone!
Taking the camper in next week to get de-winterized.
Haven't touched a rod since fall. Hopefully there will be folks willing to help bait the hook.
We’ll have plenty of garlic salmon eggs, marshmallows, and sliding 1/4-oz sinkers to share.Quote:

Also a week ago the roads were pretty sloppy out there, this pic was taken in front of the Allen ranch on the main road.

My neighbor is headed back out there in a couple days and is going to let me know how it looks. Starting tomorrow it looks like we have a warming trend with temps in the 60’s and sunshine.
https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClic...1#.ZC9fFC9MG-o
I’m heading out there next Friday, I’m expecting the warmer temps to dry it out and make the roads passable for passenger cars. If the C is still blown out we can do laps on the A or B, probably better fishing but a bit more crowded and longer shuttles.
I’ve been getting some lures ready, hopefully Lumpy will bring the anchovy wraps.Quote:

That dudes pretty brave to stop in that mud hole to get out and take a photo. Especially with the highway tires he has on there. Or maybe he’s already stuck and waiting for someone?Quote:
