2021 GILL FUCKERS COMMUNITY THREAD

[GiBo]

I'm a Croat (well, part of me- gots a Croatian last name at least). Yes, it's nasty and we love it!

And damn, SFB, you have to fish more than any other mag. You may be a hudger fly fisherman than the "I'm a hudge flyfisherman guy". Props for lugging a rod to the homeland!

Any MT peeps been down round big timber floating yet?

Not yet. Seems when I've had time it has been too windy. So I've opted to stay in the valley.

On the way home from skiing yesterday.

Well...my lunch breaks have shifted from skiing till December.

The local river always fishes so good in April. Definitely one of my favorite months of the year.

Anyone been down to Deckers/South Platte? Has it been productive?

[stapes]

Goddamn was it windy. Surface activity nonexistent but the midge/rs2 bite turned on around noon. Could only stick around til about 1 but the lunch hour was quite nice. Bump in flows will be nice.

[stapes]

My brother’s catch today. That’s a lot of sashimi

[teleee]

Made a run to warmer climates. Mediocre fishing, great views and priceless to be sitting on the water in the sun drinking a cold beer

Happy 2021 fellas

With the hill a gooey mess & 70deg weather, I decided to try out my 10’ 3 wt and the flies I’d started to learn how to tie this winter.

My Euro casting is not tight at all.
On the bright side, I picked up a frenchie, some kind of perdigon & a sculpin from a nearby tree while I recovered my own rig at the first spot I stepped in. Net fly count: +3 And bonus affirmation that I’m not the only asshat that liked the look of the spot but couldn’t cast a tight window. At least I cleaned up some plastic from the trees...

I was happy to connect on a hare’s ear and a caddis pupa I had tied. I gave a few I tied to my buddy as well and he hit on a perdigon and the hare’s ear as well

Burned my hands which haven’t seen sunshine in months and caught a few fish

Cool stuff here. Just getting back into fly flailing after a long hiatus. Looking forward to regularly getting stiffed on the Metolius.

Been on a bender

Saw this and had a flashback to my college days. One of my roommates was really into tying. One day his sometimes live-in girlfriend left after him and apparently forgot to close his BR door completely.

That afternoon I’m in my room next door, hear him come up the stairs, then yelling “GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING ASSHOLES” or something to that effect.

Looked out the door just in time to see the two house cats flying down the stairwell, in the classic thrown-cat position. The air in his room was filled with feathers, like a pillow just exploded.

He blamed the cats, the rest of us blamed the GF. Other than the replacement cost, it was funny as fuck.

He broke up with GF 3mos later

Deschutes? White River?
Nice fish

Deschutes
[I thought of Jonesy for the second shot]

The Metolius was the first place I ever tried fly fishing — it was a bit of a quiet day
It’s on the list for this summer

[plugboots]

I mean, I guess it makes sense, I just didn’t think there were squawker’s on the Deschutes. It would be cool if there was like a sub thread for squawkers.

[Row Jimmy]

Nice. Looks like Black Butte corner.

squawker == northern pikeminnow?

i was surprised to find them but they are native
no bounty program in the Deschutes, but there is in the Columbia

[plugboots]

no bounty program in the Deschutes, but there is in the Columbia

I didn't know that. That's insane, frankly. There always seems to be some sort of human corrective action for the human created problem that fucked things up in the first place, and the corrective action never works.
Fake concrete spawning channels
Killing or transporting seals
Barging anadromous species
etc.

[::: :::]

that one in the pic was actually a leaper so at first I wasn't certain what I'd hooked
it didn't feel rainbow-y, but out of the water is usually redside

[plugboots]

They pull hard to start, and then ya reel 'em in. Never had one jump. Cool.
