Thanks all, just a skillset I want to have (General knowlege). I get the point the bow where you don't want to be and back row away. I think I'll be ok, figured id tag on on a float if at all possible ahead of time. I just need people to have lower expectations of me rowing them in to fish and just let me focus on getting them down the river
Just call Chaz and Jayden.

Props to SAGE
If you remember, last year I linked up with some old friends from Missoula and we fished the Blackfoot. We went to stretch on the north fork that required a rappel down. Like a dumbass I put my rod together. When I got to the bottom of the rope, the tip section of my rod was gone. We looked all over with no success.
The rod was my first premium rod, I bought it in the early 90’s. A 5 weight SAGE RPL. Fantastic do-it-all rod. I procrastinated all last summer, but finally sent it in to SAGE. No warranty as the problem was my fuckup. They custom built a new tip section and had it back to me in slightly over a week at a cost of $125, which I think is dirt cheap.
Service like this is why I am a SAGE fanboi.

Even though it looked like it had never been used, they did have a tying bench on site so they get points for that.

I did manage to wet a line in the private pond on the property. Slow stripped a leach, got a couple nibbles, but nothing to hand. View was awesome though.

Kid caught her first trout, Brown trout, butter stick, brown town, buttah fish today...
Disclaimer it was caught on trout magnet on a ultra light spin rig but I’m proud none the less.
She had been less than interested in fishing, but she was “all in” and kept at it after we landed this little guy. Attachment 321014

another one hooked, nice work!
[mention]John_B [/mention] yesss sir, shefish. I was told it’s a relative to carp.
Little backstory, spent 3 weeks last summer fightin fire in AK. This was on the Kobuck river near Dahl Creek, AK.
About 30 seconds of a fun fight then was like reeling in a big rock.
A nice little reward after living in a wet tent and everything being wet for 12 days!

Yo Phall, you still going to make your Smith River trip? Just curious. The wife and I are headed to the pad in Swan Valley sooner rather than later to hole up and hide from the world. Probably will be social distancing in the South Fork a whole bunch in the coming weeks and monthsQuote:

well yeah and I aint standin up there in no damn earthquakes
least we should call htfb fuggies bro and throw the raft in on the Jordan
id go fonts
dutch johns better rowing practice and way mur picstariol per mile
aint seen no poopers in the Jordan deckers ,bountiful pond nor Willard or deer creek in my travels but I haven't been south of point o mount
I was gonna pm ya tellee but unless sweet baby jeebus brings a wonder vaccine i aint seein bein key west bound and helpin finance that sweet #backcountryfishing skiff in the end of april
shit they'll probably lock down dutch john
the lack of inferstructure and blm may save the fonts
so itll git hammered
all the utard state parks are still open
restrictions at powell and antelope not sure what
I finally wisened up and bought the $75 yearly
im buying a ID nonres yearly again after a decade just to piss off the birdcunter

time of year
I fuckin hate when hudge global pandemic show up in my swing season
hopes its under control by luau time
fuck lumpy canceled a aug 16 middle fork for that
As of now we're planning on putting in still. If anyone takes a turn health wise between now and then, we're probably out, or if there's some crazy order to shelter in place for the long haul.
I pmed ya digits
going down now to fuck with the boat
I told the wife its part of the bugout kit
so im not going fishing
its an emergency survival prep thing
Still doing my social distancing in Pisgah National Forest. The fish have been extremely picky. Plenty of bugs coming off, but rarely a rise. I have a Love/Hate with the Davidson...but it’s literally a 10 minute drive from our rental.
At least I can completely forget this fucking nightmare for a few hours a day.
you might have to break down and drift nymphs.
What’s “nymphs”? I love my wife, so please...
Went on a booze cruise on the Superfund water. Just barely made it off before headlamp time.Attachment 321590Attachment 321591Attachment 321592

Friggin won’t let me watch the video.
Well it wasn't tuna fishing off Costa Rica but I'll take what I can get. Little dude had a blast and pulled up one if the biggest crappies I've ever seen caught. Be a lot more fishing this week since the statewide shut down was announced yesterday.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...96a070e13e.jpg

Nice work! I wish I had the patience to tie. Are your Smith River trips cancelled? Just curiousQuote:

The only good that could come from that is I can grab a permit from the guy I work for and do a personal trip during prime time!
As long as they don’t close Smith River SP that is.
Lots of unknown currently. Hoping for the best.
I was just saying to my wife it would be perfect to grab cancellations if they are still letting trips go. Unfortunately(or fortunately) I picked up some work so I cant jump on a trip. I see them shutting it down and I dont blame them, but putting restrictions on campgrounds and being just me and my wife it would still be within social distancing protocols. Hope you still get out Jimmy!( I know lots of outfitters have canceled for foreseeable future.)
Oh and with the out of state quarantine I'd bet that puts the nail in the coffin.
This is part of an email I got from the park manager yesterday.
“At this point, there’s a good possibility that the river will be shut down due to the Covid-19 Virus. We should receive word shortly and will be contacting individual permit holders and issuing a press release”
Well we just had an earthquake as well...
Nice bugs Jimmy. https://images2.imgbox.com/6c/e2/L8V...?download=true
Since the lockdown I haven't really left the bench.
