Fly Fishing BS thread

Any of you ever done one of those self-guided trips in alaska? Thinking about getting my dad and a couple buddies to go next year

Had the day off, so I took off to the creek this morning.

Don’t know if you can scroll to the other pics/vids on that post, so here’s a pic of the fish. Video of the release is on that same post.

 

Nice fish man, I just told the boss I'm taking off friday to go fishing. Not sure he was thrilled about it, but the forecast this weekend looks like crap and I haven't fished much in the past two weeks. Thinking of hitting some creeks in dupont forest.

 

I may go somewhere tomorrow evening after i get off work. I haven’t been nearly enough this year. The rain has really screwed me.

 

Same, just seems to be slamming us every week (and usually right before or during the weekend). I went to fish a local river on saturday before the t-storms rolled in and the last big rain completely washed out the metal/concrete footbridge that spans the river. Saw some full-length downed trees along the banks there, unbelievable amount of water to do that. I know that same system made the saluda go up at least 3' on the gauge and it's a much smaller river.

 

I started working 4 10s at work and it’s stormed every Friday since this change happened. You can blame me.

 

*sigh* I really need to get back in the water. I have been too lazy to fix my waders and I'm not keen on a cold wet sock this year.

 

Bruh....wader season’s over. Rejoice in your battered toes and frozen balls.

 

I'm not dipping my balls into Sierra snow melt. They'd retract so fast they'd knock my teeth out.

 

Couple turds this weekend. Won’t stop raining....water is deep and movin!

 

I finally spent the money and got some neoprene wading socks with gravel guards. What a gamechanger, can wear my wading boots while wet wading now and not be uncomfortable

 

Me and a buddy did one last year.

 

Here's my trip report.

Feel free to message me for more details/information.

 

Wading socks are money for the summer.

 

Last part of my birthday present, its about 3” x 4”, fly box.

 

A buddy invited me to ride with him to pick up his boat from Beavertail Skiffs in FL this week...

Figured we’d do some fishing while down there... Going to be chasing tarpon in T-minus 5 days!!!

 

Sweet!
Happy Birthday.
