Zach,
Fishing’s been good, but the big browns seem to be running a little behind– shouldn’t be too long.
BTW, the Omni-Bounce for SB-600 is $16 at the BAMO (Big-Ass Mail Order) camera stores.
I have a similar situation on a Carp fishery I haunt. Fish to 35-40″ and clear water. Your right in tailwater situations , what is probably happening is that they are feeding opportunistically on whatever the increased flow brings, therefore more open/less discerning and easier to take- same situation here.😉 I just retired a pair of SST’s that have seen some heavy service for 5 years. Bought another pair and hope they last another 5. They had them on sale at Sierra discounts. 🙂 Silver Doc

Zach, I like to see some reviews, esp. new equipment. Being a non-world traveler, I really don’t care about Argentina,Russia, or where ever the new hot spot is. Even with a lottery in my future,( And that seems pretty low if I’ve figured the odds out right) there are more than enough spots here in North America that I’d like to fish. Also Like TxFlyBum, I’d like the state by state thing.Guy
😮 Hoping that my wife never comes across this, about $3000. ::) This includes travel and lodging and guides. My buddy and I try to do it on the cheap and we do pretty well. We have fished in some grotesque places, but have caught fish and have had a ball. Also I try to buy “stuff” on sale. This includes rods and reels and etcetera. Now that I have retired I plan to start tying flies and should save some dough. If my wife asks, you know nothing. 😉 Silver Doc
I like were I live in relation to a great stream. I’m only 18 miles from the river and I can get there in 25 min. Gas has dropped to $3.29 for premium. It’s not too bad to pay for peace and tranquility and some nice fish. And the car gets good milage. 🙂 I’m off to Italy next week and I know I’m going to get bruised with the price of gas in Europe. ??? ; Will fill you in when I get back. ;D Silver Doc
🙂 William Douglas, former Supreme Court Justice, was a Fly fisherman. I remember reading about how during some “dull cases” he would daydream about fishing. Also, don’t forget some great books by Harry Middleton. Silver Doc
Cameron-
It could have been an effort to increase sales.

For real! I thought I latched on to something when I got a signed copy of that book and cover. Now, every store I see that book in has the same misprint on the cover… even the ‘big box’ book stores. :-[
I was shocked reading Geirachs latest, Still Life with a Brook Trou and was shocked he said a lot more than how much coffe he drank with A.J.
Could it possibly be that John Barrett took his Ford sponsorship from the Fly Fishing Masters and used it so he could go ‘Flyfishing the World’? :-/
Casting competitions rock, plain and simple. Are they for everyone? Of course not. Just as World Cup Soccer, American pro sports and bull riding aren’t for everyone. Good casting takes SKILL and does not come cheaply. Behind everyone who dares enter a casting competition a lot of sweat equity is involved.
You can have your fishing competitions.Agreed Zach, standardize the gear for the casting but possible add an ‘unlimited’ class.
😀 Beautiful pictures. Couldn’t download all for some strange reason. Nice shot in American Angler. Forget law, ::) 😀 put Lauren to work and keep up the photograpy and the fishing. You won’t make a heck of alot of money, but think of the fun you’ll have. 😀 Silver Doc
Zach, Nice board. Have you heard anything about William Joseph coming out with waders? Nice to be back in the the swing of things. I’m retiring next week and will keep myself busy, fishing, a visit to Italy in Sept. and an offer from one of the pofs at Penn State to help write a book on physics. I can now peruse the boards. Good luck on your new venture and will be ading to it now and again. Yhe Best, Silver Doc
Zach,
The Smith River trip was not a multi-day float. I stayed on the “Heaven on Earth” Ranch. We fished for 2 1/2 days. Caught rainbows, browns, whitefish and the odd brook. Saw many black bear rather up close and personal (some no more than a just a few feet away). Spectacular scenery, miles from the nearest community. The float trip, I’m told is one the best ways to fish the Smith. Maybe one of these days when I retire to Montana.
