Damn I have to run to Salt Lake for work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, do you still have my number?
Still got it! Work Friday/Saturday this week then off for another 4 days. Lets try to fish after that.
You got it! Schwerty, Tye and I had a pleasant, dink filled day on the Hank yesterday. I forget how cool that river is.Quote:

Lakers should be relatively shallow for quite some time this year on the lake! Longer than most years anyway.
Teleee and Tye - pleasure hanging...as always!

With the season starting as is, maybe time to put some line on the 60 yo mitchell 300. What color spoons?Quote:

i'm looking to update my old cracked and dirty fly lines if anyone has access to Rio (preferred) or similar if interested in a trade. also looking for a top shelf euro dink rod.
silver 3/8 oz kastmaster is what i used. caught 2 good fish in rapid succession once I tied it on, and then I snagged it after the second fish and had to call it. VERY slow retrieves and letting it sink was key. Think I was casting into about 20-30 foot deep water at least 50 feet from shore. I saw two dudes in a boat land a fish before they even made it out of the marina. might try from the kayak this weekend. If I see a guy with a mitchell 300 in my very obvious favorite spot, we're fighting.Quote:

Great ! I am up in Big Sky so I would have to get an Idaho license and drive down. My days off this summer are Tuesday and Thursday. I want to expand my river knowledge. Let me know anytime you have room in your boat.
Works for me if you want a day on the South Fork. Im there all next week and the following week.Quote:

^^ ok, cool, thanks.
Date is set via text with Tye 1on: next Tuesday the 11th.
Meetup in Driggs Tuesday, late morning.
Geez, i'd sure like to join you mags. I have a PT appt. at 1 pm that's kinda screwing that up. What's the timing on meetup, getting on water, and post angling shenanigans? Room on yer watercraft? Need a shuttler?
Harry, you need a place to crash for an overnight?
I'm bored managing this knee. Drove to Thayne yesterday just to look at adoptable pets...
Family is here through the 16 then some time off after that, Floated pops down the Hank before the snow and Flavs/Caddis were strong and crowds had died down.Quote:

That being said I am tired of seeing all those other bastards hammering the salt for fishes, so I will be gone to chase the silver king from June 23rd until July 1st or so...
I will meet Tye1 at 10:15 in Victor and then carpool from there with him. Meet Telee at the river at 11.Quote:

Edit to add: fuck this one-day fishing licence bullshit. I can tell I will end up buying an annual license...
More shit to add: I see Idaho offers a 3-year non-resident license.

Yea I am Swan Valley, defintiely not on a private ramp. I am not one of the valleys high rollers by any means.Quote:

^ Your spot sounds perfect! Not sure how the guy I know worked it with the ramp owner. Sounds like he charges them an annual fee for the gate key for those who live near by. Def not high roller status.

I sat in that line for over 30 minutes last week; probably be a hour wait once the July 4th traffic starts up. NOTE TO ANY MAGS HEADING TO ISLAND PARK: The Big Hill construction on hwy20 is a goat fuck. North bound trucks and RVs have to climb four miles in low gear creating looooooong waits for north bound traffic to get up the single lane pilot car section. It is faster and far less exasperating to drive the extra 12 miles up scenic hwy 47 past Mesa Falls. If you are driving up from the Valley, use the Lamont cutoff and go straight up to Warm River, you'll save a lot of frustration.Quote:
